It's great seeing your Lakewood coming along so nicely. Can't wait to see you again in the US this year and hear all about the work! Let us know if we can locate anything for you! You will get to see our wagon finished when you visit. The new wheels are arriving THIS WEEK! John & Teresa

Really appreciate the pictures and the workmanship.

My wife has ties to Holland. Do you know any of the Krediet family from Sonneja?
