Today you are freed from reading a book length entry from me…today I will just share with you some photos and some quotes from Ralph Waldo Emerson…Enjoy my friends..
"Flowers... are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world."
"What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have never been discovered."
"You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late."
"It is not length of life, but depth of life."
"In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine."
"For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind."
"A friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature."
"Earth laughs in flowers."
Finally my tip of the day for those living in cold and wet places and are in need of a good boot to keep their feet dry: MUCKBOOTS…these are ultra comfy and keep your feet dry and warm all the way down to –30C (this particular model I bought keeps me warm to –20C) Totally waterproof so you can jump in any ol’ rain puddle you see without even thinking about getting cold wet feet!!
I’ll leave you with my puppy photo of the day…this is my little Bently who we will keep with us..what a little teddy bear he is!!

What a great post. Have a good weekend, sweet friend!
I love Emerson for sure. Beautiful shots and he is a baby dollie for sure.
What a lovely post, Amy. Loved all those quotes, especially the one about anger. I really believe in that one.
Especially loved the puppy pic of the day!!!
Hi...Introducing myself...
I Married a Dane
Yes, like you, I traveled across the sea and I married a Dane (or insert the appropriate Scandinavian country of origin;)). Although we live in the US now, my little family hopes to return to Denmark in the future and I started looking to see what kind of support there maybe there now. I came across the Danish Expat Bloggers and first began reading Kelli and Mads blog, as we have a lot in common. Then I followed the links and found your blog as well. I have been reading your blog (and others in your little group of Scandinavian based expats) for quite a while now and I had the nagging feeling that I needed to speak up and introduce myself. I have gladly followed your adventures with envy, as I really miss Denmark and have loved following the trials and tribulations of your journey to the place that does such a great job of raising wonderful husbands…After all, the main we thing we have in common is our love for our Vikings! Don’t they just make the world’s best husbands??????
The first thing I do when I log on the computer is start with Kelli’s blog and work myself around the list and visit your blogs, and it has become quite stalker-ish, so I really need to let myself be known now…I know so much about your lives and you don’t know I even exist!
My name is Lynette Jensen, my husband is Benny and our 13 year old daughter is Loryn. We live in Louisiana, in a rural area near my parents. Loryn attends the same small Pre-K to 12 school where that my father and I both graduated. Benny lived his first 27 years in the Sydhavn area of Copenhagen. My In-laws still live there. He lived in an apartment near Valby parken, until he bought a house just a few steps from Greve Strand just a short walk from Hundige Storcentre. That is where I called home when I lived in Denmark. After we married he sold it all and came to live with me in my home on the Cajun Prairie.
I hope that you will include me in your expat group, as I‘d love to know someone that has faced the same trials the next time we visit (or move back to) Denmark. I’ve written a full introduction on my blog, I hope you follow my blog and comment so we can get to know one another. For those that are not American, (or even those who are) I’d love to explain how we live in Cajun Louisiana, and how we struggle to have a Danish household complete with rugbrød, frikadelle ,kartoffel og smørrebrød in a land of crawfish, gumbo, rice and gravy. I’d also be happy to share recipes for some good Cajun food.
Please come to

and meet my Danish-American family in Cajun Country! I also have several years of family photos but most importantly a documentation of our last trip back “home” to Denmark.
P.S. I’m
Lynette Litteral Jensen
on Facebook! Can I be your friend?
TAK!
Hi Fru Jensen! Thanks for the nice introduction and for following along!! I don't know what Danish group you're talking about, probably something Kelli's got going but I'm in Norway..they talk better here then in Denmark ;-)) hahahahaha.. I think if you're going to make a move over here successful you have to come with the right attitude or it's gauranteed to fail no matter how good everything is planned beforehand. LYKKE TIL!!!!! :-))
