  2. Happy National Holiday, Greet! Here in Washington, DC, all the Belgian restaurants are celebrating with special menus. I love the moules with frites and, of course, Belgian beer :-)
    Have a great weekend!

  13. Wow, Greet, that Leopold I was quite a "looker," but mostly I loved the table arrangement for your festivities -so summer-y and pretty. Leopold is dashing but not summer-y. :-)
