Overseas DUers, please check in!

Someone said bells were ringing in Paris and fireworks in London, and I really need to know. It made my husband and me cry all over again just to think of it.

I cried this morning when I saw the news that Joe & Kamala really won, and I could hardly catch my breath.

Please just check in here. Love ya.

Somebody in my neighborhood in the NL set off fireworks.

Also got many relieved texts from Dutch, German, Brazilian and American friends.

I am between Utrecht and Arnhem.
