Hallo my winsome friends. I want to apologize for my absence these past few months. I am aware that my lack of writing may cause a dimming in your hearts for me but I insist that we start up our old romance again with the promise of more frequent updates to the page of this blog. I am remorseful to say that is no good reason why I have not told tales of my Netherlandish escapades. The only thing that I can say was that I was not moved to write. I did have some adequate stories to tell but I just did not have a drive to recount them. I hope that you can accept my humble apology. I think in the future I will write more frequently because when I leave a whole months worth of happenings to do in one sitting, I sit there and cannot execute my post correctly. I vow to write shorter more numerous posts in the coming times.

I would like to thank you for your understanding (if you had any) for my predicament, sincerely, Julia Thurston, remaining alive still, in Holland.
