Corrie, here is the other  document which accompanies the invoice you so kindly translated.  Again, Jack would be most appreciative if you were to translate the front and the back.  The initials L P stand for Lars Peter.  Many thanks Sue

I'll make a translation somewhat later this evening. At the moment I have to cook dinner, but at first glance it is only about how and where to pay the bill and nothing else. See you later with a full translation.

And here is my translation.

No. 9577              Deposit no. .../...

                  Ziekenhuis aan den Coolsingel

Deposited for the later settlement of the nursing costs

for the benefit of L.P. Nielsen

the amount of 28 guilders

for 14 days in the 3rd class ward.

                           Rotterdam, 19 October 1916 

                                               for the administrator

 

Deposits are made in advance of 14 days instalments at the office of  "Het Ziekenhuis aan den Coolsingel"

on every working day from 9 to 12 am and 2 to 4 pm.

After the treatment, a receipt for the total costs will be provided.

 

Sue I  did some calculations and the total costs of f 52,05 in 1916 are the equivalent of CA$ 835 in today's money. I'm not sure if it was common practice to pay in advance for hospitals, but I think it might be because mr. Nielsen hadn't a Dutch address. Do you know why he was in the Netherlands at that time during WWI? In those days Rotterdam was a very busy port, the Netherlands were neutral, and in a port are a lot of merchants or sailors............

If your friend has more documents/letters that need translation, please let me know,

Beautifully done, Julie. 💟

I get the weekly newsletter of a Lilypad designer. After the kids left home, she started creating layouts with her photos, sometimes documenting the good and also the not-so-good times. She went through a harsh period for some time (she didn't elaborate on the reason), and this was a way to express the feelings she had back then.

 

Thanks for helping out here Cristina. It might well have been Lilypad. And I can fully appreciate her feelings over some tough times and losses. She did a great job on that layout.

Sue I did a translation and it is in the same post where I said I do it after dinner, I think you might not have seen it there, sorry I better did it in a separate post

I had missed it, anyway, I  appreciate you taking the time to translate these documents. Jack is absolutely  chuffed to bits to finally know what the documents  say. As you rightly say, he wasn't  Dutch, but Norwegian.

Yes his name pointed in the direction of the northern European countries, like Norway, Sweden or Denmark.

When I come across a photo I admire or enjoy, I grab it and then hope to use it for a layout. I don't take that many pix but I like seeing what others do. This one was posted on FB for the Hillman Marsh, taken at sunrise on November 3. I used a Dissolve blending mode on it to intensify the spectacular colours. Then just played with bits and pieces to create the layout. Playing is fun even if the results are not stellar!

The marsh is protected wetlands where birding is a favourite activity. The boardwalks make it navigable.

When working on the calendar workshop I promised Carole that I would show my calendar when printed and today it is completely finished. I have taken a photo of a couple of pages laid out on the table. In the next post is the calendar ready to hang on the wall. I printed the pages at home but went to the Copy Shop, a local smaller version of Staples, to have a binding.  I can't upload 2 pages on the same post because I have kept them at a fairly large size when resizing for posting.

[Corrie Kinkel]

Here is my calendar ready to get packaged and send of to the recipients. I'm on time for the Holidays!

Carole I have loved doing another calendar, although it always takes a lot of time to get it finished and printed; I'm happy with the result 🥰

I am waiting to meet with the Jane, who will be doing the printing of my calendar. She will show me a sample of the printed calendar, and I was flattered that she asked if she could print one for herself.

I made this image for our last mask workshop from a photo that I received from my daughter in law. Today, there was an article on yahoo about this same deer crossing Lorain Ave near where they live.

What a beautiful photo, Julie!  I can only imagine how the photographer waited at the right spot to get this shot.  You created a lovely layout to showcase it.

"Playing is fun even if the results are not stellar!"   --  I agree.  I also just want to have fun creating something, although it's no piece of Art. 🙂

Nov/11/2024 is Veterans Day in the United states and I made this.  The background if from digitalscrapbook. The flag is from one of my photos. The part in the middle was adjusted from one I got on the internet.

I've been working on the type of mask that was in the 2025 Calendar Workshop. I created the square first, then added the brushes, merged visible and finally, converted to mask using the raster to mask script. I saved the square because I don't know if I can remember how I did it the first time. I have created some brushes using a few AI patterns that I made.

WOW! Donna!  This is breathtaking.  to get the opacity, did you lower the opacity of the layers before merging (visible).  Super super work!

I love this layout style. You chose the background and elements perfectly.  Great photo, must've been awesome for the that photographer in person.

Remembrance Day: To honour those who served and still do. My wee tribute to them all. Based on a layout I saw on OScraps.
