Christmas 2008
Every year I am amazed at the silent way that Christmas suddenly passes. One minute the fury of shopping, wrapping presents, traveling and cooking abounds, and in the next minute, it’s all over. Done. (You have 364 days to get ready for the next round!) Here’s a peak at what the last 24 hours looked...

Did you know that it can be too cold to snow?

And then I remembered I no longer live...
Love Observed

Copenhagen – (Last) Day 4
One last outing before Molly headed back to Ireland and I to Aarhus: the Changing of the Queen’s Guard. Although Queen Margrethe was not in residence at the time (nor the rest of the royal family), the Queen’s guard stood faithfully by, ready to defend the kingdom. At noon each day the new guards replace...
