Papa's old home

While visiting Gerda and Elsbeth we passed by Grolloo so Thijs wanted to show the girls 'Middenstreek 3' where he had lived from his 4th until his 15th.

Grolloo is a very small village and when Thijs and his family moved here in 1973, they were the first family from 'outside' to ever move there. It took Thijs' dad quite some time and 'jenevertjes' to become accepted! The village was so small that every phone number consisted only of three numbers!

Funny to see the faces of the girls as they obviously have a hard time imagining that their parents were once also small :)
