-
D is for one of my absolute FAVORITE things on this earth....
My pride & joy... my first born
Dane at 12
Dane at 2

I know most parents think their children are the most awesome in the ENTIRE WORLD...
but mine?.. well, they really are.
Dane is special in so many ways...
he is an old soul... wise beyond his years.

.kind and giving..
loving and loyal...
He has my wanderlust and love of photography... 

Dane thank you for being you... I love you so much  :-)


D is also for DUBLIN...
I fell in love with DUBLIN many years ago... I love the PEOPLE.. the MUSIC..the HISTORY and
 of course, the PUBS..
We are fortunate to find serious CHEAP flights and can take off for weekends away...
LOVE it...



Additional D info?...
I have lived in  Danville CA,   Des Moines IA, and Delaware.. (Wilmington)

It's so great to be proud of your son. He seems to be a young man to be proud of.

Great D post! I love visiting the beaches of Deleware and it is actually on my list of somewhere I would live after retirement

Your son could definitely pass for Norwegian. Great looking kid!

Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier. Yours is truly beautifully done. I shall follow, if you will lead.

Loved the Ds!
Dane is my sister-in-law's brother's name and I've always loved it, and you know how I feel about Dublin! Now I'm homesick for a pint and some fish & chips :)

You post such gorgeous photos. I agree with you on Dublin. That's where my parents live. I love it there.

Your boy sounds like a treasure.

i love this for so many reasons, not the least of which are that (1) my son is named dane and (2) (related) we lived in copenhagen for two years and visited dublin twice. the memories are awesome!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
