About us

We are Indonesian-Dutch couple, married in 2002, resident of Utrecht - The Netherlands, have one spoiled dog named Milo and one "gonna be spoiled" baby Isabelle. This webpage mainly is use to share our story and pictures to our family and friends. But of course we always welcome for new friends. The idea of this webpage is to share our story and pictures to our family and friends.

Since Ira's Dutch language is far from perfect and Dimitri's Indonesian language is even worse, we decided to use English as the main language in this blog, eventhough lately due to the laziness of Ira, Indonesian language seems to take over.

A tale of a garden

This year is the fourth years we lived in Utrecht. We are lucky enough to have a house with some garden in front and back of the house. Unfortunately we are not such a "garden person". We like to sit and enjoy the garden when it's already nice and beautiful, of course but not really very much want to involved in the process of making the garden beautiful . On the contrary, my parents in law, really like to work on the graden... and they have a very big and beautiful garden. So I don't know how come Dimitri doesn't have the genes

In the result, the first two years we almost doing nothing with the garden, which is too bad since the old owner of the house really liked the graden and they even hired garden architech to design the garden. In the first two years, I almost never been in the garden... it looked hideous, like a mini jungle not mention the domestic problem in the garden... you know..... remember this post?

Anyway after sometime, we start to get a bit of "tuin kriebel"... not sure what the exact English translation.... I guess something like want to do something with the garden. In 2004, we got big help from Dimitri's parents to clean the garden. It worked for few months then we lost the "tuin kriebel" feeling and the garden back to jungle

This year, we decided to get profesional help to do the garden, cut the big trees, change the grond, taking out weeds. Finally we can enjoy the garden abit. We also decided to build another garden house since the old one not big enough to keep all our junks.... hehehehe with help from Dimitri's father, we managed to finished it in one weekend... we also put small stones in many side of the garden to reduce the possibility of the weeds to grow.....

So voila!!!! The garden looks better now... not looked like the garden-of-an-empty-house-no-one-living-in-it
