he came to Australia when he was about 5 for the simple reason as he tells it.. 'that one day he woke up, his parents told him that they were moving to Australia and he thought he may as well tag along, he had nothing else to do'. he left behind his little snow sled that hung under the stairs and a life that would have taken another path... and he sailed to Australia with his parents and 3 siblings and one on the way.
he also has another name. a nickname...his bike riding friends call him Yoda.. and that is where this story is leading.
Joe [also known as dutch husband] loves Star Wars. I could not count on everyones fingers how many times he has watched the trilogy, and beyond. He is also very wise. truly, he knows just about everything and his advice is always, always spot on.... so he became known as Yoda.. a wise Jedi out of the Empire Strikes Back..
he is such a fan that he has a tattoo.. not just a token scribble like mine but a real half an arm of ink. 12 hours under the needle. a work of art.

I can't believe I won the child's jug and saucer....sweet!

Wow, that's one of the most spectacular tattoos I've ever seen! And I notice you said Joe likes the trilogy -- no mention of the prequels, LOL? Nice to know a bit more about your Dutch husband!
Ah, so we finally meet "Dutch Husband". I've a touch of Dutch in me, too. Ironically, I had planned on posting about my Dutch genealogy today...and here you are introducing Dutch husband. Talk about being in sync.

Wow, impressive tattoo. I've seen people who have a lot of ink on their arm, but never a complete cover like that.
My son is a Star Wars nut too!!
Me? I just watch to see Harrison Ford!!
Now THAT's a tattoo! Spectacular.A clairvoyant once told my husband about an ancestor of his, a dutch sea captain from Rotterdam many, many generations back who's presence she felt with him. All a bit of a mystery to us at the time, but many years later research proved it to be true! Lovely to learn more about your dear one Robyn.xxx
