Teddy on a Mission

Just so you know, I am a traveling bear. This is a place where I can share text & pictures of the fun (and hopefully worthwhile) things I do with my unparents, Ken and Marijke.

About Me

Name:
Location: Greer, South Carolina, United States

I started this blog for the bear-loving friends in my church mostly since they were kind enough to send me on a mission trip to France. That was in 2006. Hopefully I'll get to go on other trips, too (like this most recent extended trip in 2009). But my main mission is to bear each blessed day with gratitude.

Leiden - Say No More!


















Norma Taylor (see previous post) was sweet enough to have the three of us into her VERY old home in Leiden for a visit. We enjoyed seeing the original beams from the 1300's and the canal just outside her windows. Then she took us around town a bit. She left us at the Pilgrim's museum which was such a thrill - see next post - but not before showing us another church in which they worshipped before leaving Leiden for the new world all those many years ago!



Guess what! This is the town where Marijke's mother and her family lived just after the war - right on this very same canal (or street actually)! An extra thrill for Ken and her, of course. I was a little too worried about falling in! - Teddy
