Christmas and More

Sorry about the last post being so incorrect in grammar.  I really used to be bad at spelling and grammar and trust me this year is not helping.

I opened my presents today.  Thank you to Deb and Merle for the wonderful calendar as well as the card.  I really liked the pictures in it, but can't talk about it because others can't know the secrets the calendar contains.

Also thank you Mom, Dad, and Cam for all the wonderful stuff.  The head phones are great and will stay on while I ride my bike.  And the Jiff low fat peanut butter will be very nice on the home made bread here.  I am very thankful for skittles as always, and the oreos.  Those were both from Java.

I am aware there are still more packages coming my way.  That you soooo much for everything to make my christmas nice.

I am going to London in two days, but will post more about it later on.  I know that I am staying for 9 nights in London and will hope to visit family while there.

Can someone say SPISE!

Today I made my first ever meal... complete.
Although it is a summer meal I thought ribs with sophies potatoes and a fruit salad would hit the spot.  Thus the long process of making the ingredients started.  Thats right, I had to make the things it said to mix.  I made french onion dip as well as cream of chicken for the potatoes.  I made Montgomery in sauce for the ribs.
Everything was finished, and the house smelled so good.  I was amazed at what I tasted though.  The meal was perfect.  The potatoes were delicious and everybody thought so.  The ribs tasted just like at home, and were cheaper in cost too!!! A lot!!! All together I learned a lot.  I feel now more confident that I can do something write.
For more info on the meal, please visit me at my web site, or email me a kas8970@gmail.com
Tak 

P.S. I don't have a web site.

The Christmas Count Down 9-days
I am back, although I have not really been away.

I really miss violin music.
Way back when I was a really little kid up until a few years ago, life was always full of violin music.  It seems like Cam was always practicing.  Other then that there was also Papaw who played with Cam.  It was always soooo boring to listen to it, but it is not the intensive listening that I miss.  I miss the fact that even when not noticing it, violin music reached out to me.  I think that music can do that to anyone, if they just accept it.  I miss the music.

I am thankful for parties.
Parties are something very new in my life, and if taken responsibly can really improve ones social status.  I have had the good, bad, and ugly of parties now, and I believe that it will prepare me to make wise decisions into the future.  College, here I come, but I come with more knowledge then the other freshmen!

Christmas Fest... lots of fun!
The December Count Down 12-days

As Christmas quickly approaches I find myself really thinking about what people want.  Never before has it been so difficult to think of things, and with the addition of 6 more people to think about, it makes it even more difficult.  I find myself looking at candy as an easy way out, but I really do not know what they want.  I have not given them a list, as they have not asked me what I want, but in return I have no lists from any of them.  For all I know they are not expecting any presents out of me at all.  This challenge is added to the difficulty of finding things DANISH enough to be sent home.  Everything here seems to be about USA.  Shirts are all in english and stuff like that.
That was just a short rant for the day on shopping.  I hope everyone reading this is having very good luck with their own shopping.

A little danish, a little english, and a lot of layers of your favorite instruments!

The Christmas Countdown 14-days

I really miss family sharing.
This might not make sense so I will explain a bit more about what I mean.  At home if I am going out during the winter I would take a pair of gloves which the family owns, a hat maybe personal but wearable by anyone, a scarf which would be dads, and maybe even Cam's big rubber boots if I am shoveling snow.  Here we don't have an overflow of supplies which can be shared.  I have my pair of gloves which I don't expect anybody to use, and then everyone else has their pair of gloves.  Also this goes with such things as borrowing a cell phone, which would never happen no matter what the circumstances other then for a single call or text.  People have possession of things within the house to a greater degree.

I am thankful for having a new cell phone.
After my cell phone died last week I was afraid I would have to go out and spend 2000 kroner on a new phone, but as it was I got to borrow a brand new one from far.  This one is in much better condition and I will take more care of it then the last one which seemed like it was used for 3 or 4 years before me.  I can now arrange plans while on the train or the bus and a cell phone makes me a lot more comfortable going somewhere.  If I get lost without my cell phone, then I have problems that will happen, but now that I have my cell phone things will go back to normal.

Also.  Soon is coming a great new song to all of you.  It will be in danish and recorded with guitar, vocals, bassoon, and piano... I hope.  Wish me luck!  Hope to post that video soon. (I read what I just wrote, and I will leave it as is, I think it shows how my english is changing. HAHA)
