Helping hands

What I really like about our selected group of friends is not only the fact that they are the misfits of the Danish society, still rockers of Heavy Metal music, snake dealers, and just plain old freaks, but I love them for the fact that when someone needs help, they are there to offer themselves.

Of course, I have to admit, when we were told that there would be cinamon rolls and cake involved, we all jumped with no questions.

Here we all are taking a break.



The King taking a stab at the machine. I was pretty proud to see him in action.



Our hostess. She makes the best cinamon rolls and is totally sweet.



Another fellow American, and new addition to our family of misfits.



Good friends they all are.

Studying

I was up pretty late the other night doing some homework. I think it was a little past midnight.
Susi, who normally sleeps at the same time as we do, did her best to stay up with me. She was on top of our dinning room table watching me write.  

After coming back into the living room with a cold glass of water, I found Susi crashed on my book and papers. I didn't have the heart to wake her up and I knew it was her way of telling me to go to bed.

Sweet Susi. My best friend.

A burger joint just around the corner.

We were so excited when we found out that the grill house in Nykøbing was opened again for the season.
Eventhough it's about 45 minutes to get there, the burgers are all worth it. The best in Sjælland.

We took Jim and Peter there for lunch and of course, we had to have ice cream for dessert.

Loss

These past two months have been pretty hard on our family. Though we were able to manage those little bumps, the hardest was the loss of my dear mother-in-law.

I must say it was a shock. She was still young, and to the end, full of life.

I am not sure if there really is an afterlife. What I do know, she has left a great impression in my heart and memory. She will continue to live as long as I am alive.

Tomatillo Sauce

Let's just say that I was pretty excited when I saw that Kvickly, and now Føtex, are selling tomatillo sauce.

Now all we need is corn tortillas. I can only hope.
