Another weekend down. They are passing way too fast. The weather has been wonderful here, but the effect is that inside places, it isn't so wonderful as the sun heats up places quickly. Michael has been going to work in shorts (as have many others in his office) and he usually comes home miserable because of the heat in the building. Friday, he left early. We were home from the gym and both showered before 4:30. We decided to come up with something to do rather then just bumming around here, so we got tickets to see "Evan Almighty". Oooo what a funny movie! We laughed and laughed and laughed some more. If you haven't seen it, you should. Sunday we went to see "The Simpson's Movie" also very funny. As we watched both of these movies we found ourselves at times to be the only ones in the theater who were laughing, which is a weird feeling. We find it happens when something is said that is a play on words, or in reference to a small event or American saying. I guess thats just something you learn to get use to. So, number 783 of things they don't tell you when you move abroad is, "You will find yourself to be the only one laughing in movie theaters at certain times"
Friday I also bought some pretty flowers. The picture is a little dark, but I think you get the idea.
And Sunday we got some delicious cinnamon rolls!
There is no doubt, the best pastries in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD, are Danish. I've known that for 5 years now, but I just can't say it enough. YUM.

The calalilys are BEAUTIFUL!! You set a very appealing table. :o)
Glad you enjoyed the movies.
We often laugh at things others don't at the movies. I was getting a little annoyed at The Simpsons Movie because people were laughing SOOO hard at stupid stuff like: "Ha ha, he fell through the roof!!!"
It didn't seem that many people got the joke about Homer's signs: "sop, yelled and vone vay"!
The best part of the lack of air-conditioning in Denmark is that we sometimes get to go home from school or work because of the heat. :)
I cant imagine No AC... glad you guys had fun at the movies though!!
Your table looks lovely, and those cinnamon rolls. . . . .. yum, yum. It has been so hot here that it is overwhelming. We have had several people die of heat exhaustion, and they weren't old, either. That is kind of scary. Glad that Michael is able to set his own hours. We know that he works really hard no matter where he is. Take care.
Oops...Yeld of course, not yelled!
Is that bakery going to be open Sunday, 02 Sept?!
