Hi everyone -
Hope this finds you all well! Oh my goodness! How are you??? I swear I have been meaning to put up a blog posting for quite some time, and now, finally, here it is! Sorry it has been so long - please enjoy the stories and pictures below…
Missing you!
Love, love, love,
Ri and Peter

Julien, Peter, Laen and I did the Amsterdam 48 Hour Film Festival a couple of weeks ago. Friday eve you are given a genre (ours was romance), a line of dialog (”What part did you have in this?”), a character (a painter named Anne) and a prop (A monkey) you must use. You have until Sunday eve (hence the 48 hrs) to create a 7 minute film. Much to our surprise and pleasure we won second place in the audience choice award AND the 48 hour film Fest created a special award just for us - Most Original - and made us a trophy - The Golden Soap Award. Hee, hee! When we set out to do the project it was ALL about having FUN - we really did not want to take it too seriously. In the end we were able to have TONS of fun (as you will see) and win awards too. YEAH! Lucky us. In case anyone is interested - it is an international competition, I am sure it will come to all of your cities (or one close by).

Irene, Peter’s sister, was just here for a week which was so nice - this photo at Cafe Kobalt, Irene, Rose, and back gammon, sums up a good portion of what we did with our time…
