Bob and I had a great meet-up and hand-off with Kris, who will be housitting for the remainder of our homeowners’ trip. They chose to split the sit since they weren’t sure if anyone could or would want to do the whole thing. Kris is another experienced house sitter (30+ sits, sometimes with her daughter), who is also a former work colleague of one of the homeowners.
We will definitely miss the super sweet Bijou and Nala but may be coming back in December for a month long sit.
Other photos from our final days in Pella.
A few pics of the tulips in bloom.
And a mystery solved. A design feature that we (Bob first) noticed on many of the buildings downtown (see top level of Jaarsma Bakery and store 2 to the left) is a representation of Danish windows.
After our transfer with Kris, we drove 1.5 hours to Iowa City, home of the University of Iowa to do a repeat housesit for two cats for a week before heading back to Des Moines for more medical procedures for Bob and potentially jury duty for Beth along with one more housesit.
