A big dream of yours will finally come true—YES, we saw Mount Rushmore in South Dakota
BIG CHANGES
You are a pillar of strength, Pieter. You never ask for much, all you want is a simple, happy life full of love and contentment. You aren't afraid to work hard, especially for the important people in your life. Your weakness is that you're hiding your stress behind your smile, and you never complain. The past few years were not easy, but they taught you how strong you are. The rest of 2022 will be full of love and light! A big dream of yours will finally come true, Pieter!
Indeed, on July 19, 2022 we both went to Mount Rushmore in South Dakota!
CRAZY HORSE and MOUNT RUSHMORE, SOUTH DAKOTA | post about our visit
So true!
You are:
Exceptionally Strong
Your resilience level is: exceptionally gifted. You are mentally tough. A good analogy for you would be the Energizer Bunny -- basically something that just keeps going and going no matter what. You are able to overcome difficult situations and remain cool, calm and collected. You are always prepared to seek solutions and get back on track. You almost never let disappointments deter you from what you want -- instead, you stay focussed and plan to be successful. The hardships you've faced in your life have been instrumental in developing this kind of amazing strength and perseverance within you.

PICK A NAIL SHAPE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF WOMAN YOU ARE! — Stubborn
PICK A NAIL SHAPE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF WOMAN YOU ARE!
Mariette chose 6
Stubborn
You won't find a girl like Mariette twice, and you won't be able to forget her. She has a heart as big as the sun and a smile just as warm and bright. She's the kind of woman who could boil the ocean just to keep her loved ones safe and happy.
Mariette experienced a lot of pain in the past, it made her stronger, but it also made her more cautious. She doesn't need toxic people and fake friends in her life anymore. Whoever is loved by her is the luckiest person, but there'll be no love left for you, if you dare to abuse her trust.
It's a sure way to lose her forever.

Mariette — The Heart Stubbornly Independent
Mariette — The Heart
Stubbornly Independent
Women like Mariette are hard to find and impossible to forget. She has the heart of an angel and the spirit of a warrior. She has faced nightmares as dark as midnight, but it only made her stronger. She is not a sweet talker, but she prefers to be judged for being real, than be loved for being fake. Mariette has a big heart, and whoever is loved by her is the luckiest person, but don't fool yourself thinking that you can abuse her trust. Mariette is the sun, and whether she warms you, or burns you, depends on the way you treat her!

Liefste Pieter–M'n allerliefste Maaike—Dearest Pieter–My dearest Maaike
Dublin, August 4, 2021
Dearest Pieter,
Have been lying awake for over an hour. Spooky tried to stroke me in his way, with his sharpies... and his teeth. Nevertheless, he is sweet, and he lay with his head against my cheek for a while. Kneading my armpits felt not so good, but with saying 'gently' he understands you.
Wanted to thank you again for always solving problems or stress situations by going out.
Someone of 92+ and then performing something like that is great!
Feels good to still have such a gallant knight.
Unimaginable what you have achieved in your entire life.
Always to make everything yourself, solving things and often correcting other people's sloppiness.
Especially in the home and garden!
Those Spivey people didn't do the garden to our liking either...
We always had to make ends meet with a budget because of Thea and Liz. Nevertheless, we managed well together.
Editing the old videos brings things up again.
Sad that we are only now doing our own 'behind the news' program.
An afterthought of a very special love through thick and thin, through mountain and valley. Always together—a lot together.
That God may keep it 'whole in heart and kidneys', then we can reminisce together!!!
Rich inside, with a great and rare love.
A heartfelt hug for now and always connected by soul from LL

My dearest Maaike,
What a surprise to find such a sweet letter (at breakfast); it brought me to the brink of crying. I'm not very good anymore at articulating my thoughts, but you should know that my feelings for you are indestructible. I love you, through thick and thin, and pray every day, morning and evening, to thank God for such a jewel of a wife and ask Him that I may live a few more years alongside you. It is so true what is written on those wall tiles: 'love covers everything, endures everything; love never perishes.
Your loving Pieter.
I would like to write a book about your qualities; but as the song says: words are just words...!
September 12, 2021 biking together made Pieter so happy!
