Today I got to do what I love. What is that? Seeing mothers and babies and teaching nurses. Kolding Hospital allowed me to come and spend the day with new moms, babies and dads and present the California project to their nursing staff. This was an opportunity for them to be glad they are working in Denmark, where they are about 30 years ahead of California. It was great fun and wonderful orange brownies were served following lunch.
We also spent the evening with Helle's brother, Brian and his wife Christine and their three children, Rebecca, Lucas and Rachel. It took Gene and I back to the days of pink bedrooms with doll houses, plastic dinosaur models, and negotiating computer game time. It was glorious. We miss the fun of helping with homework and finding abandoned socks and underwear on the kitchen floor.
We ate a "symphony of fish" for our starter and bar-b-q'd ocean trout, caught by Brian, for our main dish. Totally yummy. Haven't had this kind of fish since we left home. The final dish was a rhubarb crumb cake, so tasty. Brian and Christine definitely cooked up a gourmet dinner for us.
I guess you could say, Gene and I enjoyed having someone to talk to other than each other:) It was a great day. We are looking to cooler temperatures and chance of rain coming on the horizon. Turns out, last week was a record high temps for Denmark.
We keep saving our work for a rainy day, but looks like one more clear day to sight see tomorrow.
Skaal,
PS- If you missed the "third right to go left" message, check it now, I added a photo for those who haven't enjoyed the pleasures of the round-a-bout.
