Destination Amsterdam: Flower Power
On a recent trip to Amsterdam, I ventured outside the city to explore two places that showcase the beauty the Netherlands is known for worldwide: flowers.
I toured Royal FloraHolland, in Aalsmeer, the largest marketplace for flowers in the world, and spent several hours at Keukenhof Gardens, in Lisse, known as the "Garden of Europe."

Michael’s Recent Updates
"Too many landscaping and weather descriptions to start out, but overall a good cozy mystery during war time. Good characters.
One thing bothered me by the end: what happens to all the loot? " |

| A clever novel about friends and rivals and a ghost from the past. McEwan weaves a page-turner, for the most part, with a bit of humor and mystery, along with a touch of paranoia and scheming scoundrels. And it ends with an unexpected twist. | |

Thanks, Lara. Actually, there are several authors out there such as Richard Ford and Anne Tyler. But I hope that readers of all adult ages can relate to my "boomer lit" novels.
It's good to see someone writing about people of this generation!
