My Uncle Gibb


My grandmother's younger brother was Wells Gibb Mendenhall.  I know him better as my great uncle Gibb.  Gibb fought in the Royal Canadian Air Force during WWII.  He was an Air Gunner.  On 21 February 1945 at 01:55 hrs. he was shot down over Oberhaussen, Germany.  I was privileged and honored to be able to visit his gravesite in Reinburg Germany.


Delft, Netherlands



This cute little city is Delft.  We just so happened to come when there was a HUGE flea market going on.  Yup, I had to get me some Delft!  Isn't it fun?!


Tulip Festival, Netherlands


Have you ever wanted to go to the Tulip Festival in the Netherlands?  
I Have!  I still can't believe I was actually able to go!
It was a little late in the season, but we still got to see the fields of tulips and the beautiful flower exhibits that were there.  It was amazing!

For more information on the tulips, when the festival is, and the prices go here:


This is the River - the blue flowers represent the water of a river
