It was
Queen’s Day for the Dutch in Lebanon. Queen’s Day (April 30th) is when the Dutch Queen, Beatrix, celebrates her birthday. It isn’t really her birthday, but a ‘kniesoor die daar op let’, as we say in Holland.

I would like you to focus especially on the ‘glamorous Anne’ who always double checks the pictures I make of her to make sure she’s presentable enough for the public. Well, I can tell ya, nothing glamorous about a mom. (She’s going to shoot me for this one).

What do you mean 'of course'? I was on time for 'cocktail hour' wasn't I? Please, please, do another pic for the Lebanon-Dutch Moms. I'll be there, on time!
