What's New
Hi sue. Have a great birthday and a happy new year! Thank you for all that you've done for us!
hi Gordon,
I hope you are well. We are starting our seventh months in independent living and it’s a relief to not have to do any home maintenance, worrying about the well and the septic system and home repairs.
Have you retired from real estate?
Hans
PS.I don’t think they called it the day of infamy because it was your birthday.
Hallo Janlyn,
Toen wij in Carlmont waren was jij Jan Gerbrans?
Ik heb 45 jaar in Monroe, Washington gewoond, anderhalf Uur van Bellingham.
Hi Tim,
I appreciate your FB posts.
Although you probably resist labeling, I get the sense that you are a libertarian.
Warning: This is a note about a High School memory that I am sharing, but it could be seen as obliquely political.
On Facebook, Timothy Browne noted that a vice presidential candidate suggested that people without children should pay higher taxes and wrote an eloquent post that referenced Flaubert.
I replied with: Hans Dankers
Well, said Tim,
Though I am not a childless cat lady, I do recall, Mr. Fasman accusing you of plagiarism when you wrote about a transmogrifying bee in a context I cannot quite recall.
Then, feeling slighted, you countered with a soliloquy, including playing the trumpet.
I don’t recall Mr. Fasman‘s response, but you acquitted yourself well.
By the way, I thought, Mr. Fasman and Mr. Border were excellent teachers.
Be well, Hans

Martha and my 50th anniversary is September 8, but we celebrated the last week of June when our grandkids usually come out for farm camp. Christian is divorced came out with Hans 15, Drew 12 and Kate 10 and girlfriend and her two kids. We are stand in grandparents for my late sister's son and daughter who came with their families. We had 17 at the resort in Plain WA, 90 min from our house for 3 days then the rest of the week at home. Surpassed our expectations.
I am retired since October 2017, but volunteer with hospice and as a consulting doc with End of life WA.
We are downsizing and on retirement home wait lists to transition to less maintenance in 2-3 years. People say they wish they had moved earlier, but it will be difficult to leave our beautiful home.
