God gave me a dream to visit Belgium a second time...I was happy to oblige. I dreamed of a large red bedspread with lovely embroidery on it with the words spread out broadly circling the entire top: "Visit Belgium in the Summer Time!" Talk about clear direction! We hurriedly sent in Sarah's passport for renewal and only if it came before a certain day would we make it to Belgium in the summer time. It came on the last day with no time to spare. So we were off. We arrived in Leoven where our friend, Janneke, lives on the last day of summer!
