Hi Bill, watch your mail. Goodies from should be arriving shortly!

            I want to thank you so much. It's really gonna be so AWESOME to see that spoon rack fill up with those spoons and I might have to make an attempt at making a copy of that spoon rack that Brenda got from her Dad. Since She's "UP THERE" with him, I'd have to "WING IT". Maybe I can do up a "close" copy of it.

Hi Bill, watch your mail. Goodies from Holland should be arriving shortly!

       Hey Ingrid, i got that spoon today and it is really a cool one too! I'm kinda embarrassed to admit that I realized that you were from the Netherlands and yet, it didn't dawn on me that you said it was from Holland.  You see, I don't remember if I mentioned it, but my ancestry (which i don't know much about), is Holland Dutch and what I'm told is, "Black Dutch". Not sure why they are called black Dutch because I HAVE been told that they aren't actually black. Before I get side tracked and forget, I DO want to Thank You for the spoon, it has already gotten a place on the rack (where it will surely be seen)!   If there is anything you might know about the "Black Dutch" thing, I'd sure like to know. If I get the chance, I'll see just what I can find though. Brenda was mainly German and I am of Holland Dutch and Black Dutch, with a bit of Cherokee Indian (not enough to keep me from growing a beard though) and I don't know if there is anything else or not.

                                         Thanks again, Bill

Hi Bill, Glad it arrived safely!!
Great to send you one of your first international ones and then it to be related to your own ancestry is so cool. The coincidence... I had no idea!
Your Black Dutch reference doesn't ring a bell to me, but curiosity got the better of me so this is the wiki link Google turned up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Dutch
According to this link the term Black Dutch is used for multiple reasons including a Dutch reference and a Native American reference.
At least your Dutch inheritance should give you a down to earth, hands-on disposition 
Grtz,
Ingrid

            And I thank YOU for that as well, Ingrid.   The "Black Dutch" reference was what I was told and there's no one to ask now, except my Dad and 'm not sure he even remembers the term being used or not. Well, I DO know that I have often been that I am a "Hard Headed Dutchman", just like my Granddad and my Dad! That's the main reference I've heard about being Dutch. It's kinda funny that my Wife used to say that I was "hard Headed" like a Dutchman and yet, she was mostly German and could be JUST AS HARD HEADED herself. Pretty good challenge, when we would get into a disagreement too!   

                                       Take care Ingrid, Bill
