Every year in Aug. I go home to Denmark on a little trip all by myself, which is a very special treat, because I get to spend some quailty time with my friends and family.
This trip turned out to be extra special, because as you can read in my earlier post this would be my last time I would see my Grandmother.
I had some really fun days with her, the last day I was down to visit with her, I cut her hair, we sang songs, and told jokes, and laughed a lot, I have such a great fresh memory of her.
Okay on to some pictures.
Danish flags always makes me happy.
Another one that makes me very happy, my very best friend Gitte. And is this the cutest house ever???
I have a" thing" for pretty doors...
Let's go shopping, these are real flowers, oh my...
Can't forget this pretty door.
Time for a Cafe Latte and old fashion aeble kage...
This picture is to remind my friend Gitte, how funny she is. She is going in to surgery soon, and I want her to think of this day, when she gets ready for surgery. Taenk paa denne dag Gitte, nar du har en dag du foler dig trist. Hvor havde vi det sjovt. Stort knus.
The Danish Queen's youngest son Prince Joachim lives here.
Let's move on to some yummy Green gate...
I would love this whole cabinet.
Here we are at Fashion week in Copenhagen, lot's of fun displays.
The wonderful old Tivoli Gardens...
Oh how I love this man, my sweet dear dad and his beloved dog Bella.
Here my Grandmother is doing a little dance for me, so cute.
Look what I had sleeping with me every night while there.
More cuteness Felix and Emilie, Gitte's daughter and dog.
I have many more pictures but I think this will have to do for now.
Enjoy!!!
Hey Helle, I too have a penchant for doors! The photos are wonderful, as always, I look forward to your August trips home. Thanks for taking us along! Can't wait for the next series of photos...((hugs))

Thanks for the virtual trip to Denmark! I want that cabinet and all its contents. The architecture is so cool - from the mailboxes to Tivoli Gardens.
I'm glad you to hear you have such a fond, loving memory of your dear grandmother to carry you through missing her now.

Det ser virkelig ud som om du har haft en dejlig tur heltil. Sjovt at se Danmark lidt "udefra". Og godt du havde så gode stunder med familie og venner. Det er i allerhøjeste grad den slags øjeblikke, der er værd at samle på!
