Ingrid – October 15, 2018 I am not especially fond of beer (wine is my libation of choice), but even I can appreciate the spirit of Oktoberfest. Celebrated in the U.S., Denmark and all around the world this time of year, Oktoberfest is a rousing season of merrymaking with a pint or two or six…
DetailsLili – October 1, 2018 I was particularly excited to stop by at The Danish Home recently because it gave me chance to take my new car for a spin. It was quite a co-incidence when I discovered that some of the male residents had just returned from a visit to the Volo Auto Museum…
DetailsMia – September 17, 2018 It’s not often that my husband and I get to enjoy the delicious food of a world-famous chef, so we jumped at the chance to attend last Saturday’s Cuisine and Corks event at The Danish Home. My mother and her friend from the Women’s Auxiliary reserved a table after experiencing…
DetailsLili – September 4, 2018 I think my girls are very lucky to have a grandmother like my Mor. While she may not exactly be their go-to person in times of crisis (Anna just broke her up with long-time boyfriend), she’s always there to listen or offer a hug and some home-made Vaniljekranse cookies. Maybe…
DetailsMia – August 27, 2018 The last two weeks have been a blur of shopping for school supplies and settling back into the academic routine after a lazy summer. One big change is that Jake, my eldest, is now in middle school, where he is getting used to changing classes, eating lunch in the cafeteria…
DetailsLili – July 30, 2018 When my girls are home for the summer, our dog Finn gets spoiled rotten. Whether it’s special doggie ice pops or a day at the beach, it’s no surprise who our Cavalier King Charles’ best friends are. I must admit, even when Olivia and Anna aren’t around, he gets his…
DetailsLiam – July 10, 2018 My wife Kim’s brother, his wife and their three-month-old son, William, visited us last week from Michigan. Kim and I had been dying to meet our nephew but we didn’t want to inflict more chaos on them until they were ready. I think that ready for them meant getting out…
DetailsIngrid – June 25, 2018 What a welcome relief it was to attend Summerfest this past Saturday. I use the word “relief” deliberately, as it was the first rain-free day all week! Lindsay and I got there right when it opened at 2:00 p.m. and headed straight for Farfar’s apartment. He was dressed in Danish…
DetailsElla – June 4, 2018 I have always been a dog lover. In addition to being loyal, loving and adorable, dogs can sense and alert their owners to such dangers as a seizure coming on, and there are numerous stories of dogs rescuing people from fires and other hazards and helping track down missing persons or…
DetailsMia – May 14, 2018 I’m sure I’m not the only one celebrating this beautiful spring weather after the interminable winter we just endured. After all those months in hibernation, I am more than ready to break out the summer clothes, fling open the windows and find any and every reason to kick up my…
