Tuesdays, on two days a month are our P-days when we do not have to go anywhere either day or night. I do look forward to them....especially the evenings. The days are actually getting shorter now, with the sun setting before 10 p.m., but a hush begins to hover over the atmosphere earlier, making it feel like the days are ending earlier than before.
We have not yet reached our half-way mark....that will occur in about 5 weeks, yet I am still fascinated by each season. Everything is new to me, and probably will be until we leave. 23 months is a great amount of time to get to know a place...the rhythm, the personality, the sounds, the smells, the special places, but I am not sure I could come to know Copenhagen if I were to have many years.
We lived in the same house in Gilbert for over 30 years, and over that time Gilbert changed enormously. Nevertheless, I was comfortably familiar with the neighborhood and surrounding areas.
I am comfortably familiar with Copenhagen, but it is a large place. Perhaps that is why I love it so much.
I have a huge ironing to do....it looks pretty daunting, but I guess I just need to work at it a few pieces at a time. No matter what I do, everything comes out of the washer or dryer needing an iron! In what we thought was smart, we purchased enough white shirts for SK to last 2 weeks. That is great when they are lined up and ready to wear in the closet. It is not so great when they are lined up waiting to be ironed. Add to those his three sport shirts and slacks and my blouses, and I could probably watch Ben Hur while I am working and still have some left over.
A few more Festinord pictures and I'm off to do the ironing....without Ben Hur.

| Can you believe the Swedes had matching shirts with their names printed on the back? How can we possibly win with such shenanigans going on? |

| Aren't they cute! I just love them. |

| The game was getting tense.....we wanted so much to be the champs. We lost to the Swedes. |
Great pix! Hope the ironing is dwindling - or done. That is one task I do not enjoy - and probably because I came up in days of no polyester - and no dryer - and every shirt took 20-25 min. Amazing what we can do when we have to. Keep up your good works. L&P
ReplyDeleteI got a good start! I remember those days too....ironing was a lot more difficult and tedious. I am really happy to be living now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your encouragement....as always. L&P
I spotted you and Dad in the big group picture! What fun to be looking at everyone and then see you two!
ReplyDeleteI can exactly picture the 2 weeks of dad's white shirts hanging nicely pressed in the closet vs. sitting in a basket waiting to be ironed. I'm sorry. Could you get online to the BYU channel and listen to some of the talks from women's conference? That might help pass the time.
Erin...that is a stroke of genius. I will do that. Listening to those talks has always been a very pleasant thing for me. Thanks!
DeleteLove you.
