Koos kombuis en die res!

Ek het nou al amper vergeet van die blog, want ek het nog net 2 followers al vir die afgelope maand.  Ek het die gewoonte om n blog te begin, maar gou verveeld te raak met die onderwerp.  Ek het gedink dat ek die blog sal omskep in iets van alles.  Create and Appreciate sal verander na afrikaans toe, ek is nog nie heeltemal seker hoe ek dit gaan vertaal nie, maar ek sal wel n plan maak.

Ek wou so graag foto's van ons Hartebeespoortdam experience opgesit het, maar my foon wil ongelukkig niks daarvan weet nie, en het al die foto's êrens gaan bere, waar ek hulle nie weer gaan kry nie.  Dis n nuwe foon ,"touch screen" , maar ek gaan hom moet of inruil, of verkoop.

Ek het gister aand klaar gemaak met n boek "the world according to Garp"  wat baie intens was. Dit was baie goed, en dit het my brein laat oortyd werk vir n week lank. So ek het besluit om ietsie ligters te takel hierdie keer.  Ek is nou besig met Koos Kombuis "die tyd van die kombi's, en ek is vandag eers klaar met die eerste hoofstuk. Ek kon nie ophou lag nie.  Ek lees maar so tussen deur my kantoor werk.  Dit is my eerste Koos Kombuis, en ek sien al klaar uit om die res te lees. 

Snaaks genoeg was lees nie altyd vir my lekker nie. As ek 1 boek alleen deurgelees het op Hoerskool, was dit baie. My liefde vir lees het omtrent eers 4 jaar na skool ontwikkel, en ek is nou 26. So vir 4 jaar nou, lees ek "non stop", en ek kan dit nou amper n verslaafdheid noem.

Dit is hoekom ek nie meer my blog wil beperk nie. Ek het te veel liefde vir te veel goed, kuns, boeke, crafts, familie, vriende, en en en....
Hiedie is MY blog, met al MY gunsteling dinge in die lewe, en as iemand dit met my wil deel, is hulle meer as welkom.

HARTIES! aka Hartebeespoortdam

Harties was awesome!!

We had a great time, with good food, drinks and great friends.   We went to the "silver orange" where we met all the other "participants".  It looked really lovely, this is where the wedding will be held as well.  The food looks to die for, and with all the flora around, you can't help to feel at peace with nature.

Afterwards we went to "upper deck" and then we ended up at some random club, drinking unmentionable things.  

We live in the bush veld (Limpopo) ,and harties (north west) is plus minus 130km from where we are.  It's a small town with dozens of small art galleries, restaurants, flea markets, and a hugely satisfying atmosphere.  
I also promised a few photo's, and I am still planning on loading them here.  I clicked away on my phone camera before the battery was completely dead.   So later this week I'll show you some of the great places we saw.

Totsiens, tara, tot wedersiens

Hartebeespoort dam

This weekend we are taking a trip to hartebeespoort dam (North west province). A friend of mine is having her engagement party at a cool restaurant, and the day after, we are going to explore the craft markets and art galleries.  I cant wait anymore, and I look forward to taking a lot of pictures, and posting them here.

We drive through the town a lot, and we never seem to find the time to stop, but now I have my chance..... watch out harties, here I come!!
