Thanks Dee...my husband and I lived there for 25 years until we moved back closer to our families...and it is a beautiful, well-kept town and a fun place to visit.
Imported from Holland . . . can't imagine the task that was! Growing up in Illinois, my family often drove to a "preserve" with a lake where we spent the day swimming and picnicking. On the grounds was a preserved windmill that looked like this one (but smaller) that had once been used by farmers bringing their grain to be ground into flour. I wonder if it's still there these sixty years later . . .
I like reading this blog. As I came by this photografe I thought....It looks like the Netherlands overthere. Then reading the comment, it was dutch hahaha. I am dutch and living in the Netherlands.
I have been to Pella and seen this beautiful place.
