There are only four days until Denmark!  Today, a very good friend gave me a gift of a handmade travel journal.  It is a stitch bound cover of a map of Northern Europe and Scandinavia.  Isn't that perfect?!  She made it herself!  I do so prefer real paper (no offense, Blog).

I got a call from the bank that my Kronner had arrived.  Thinking this would be an adventure for my two young d's, I waited until I had picked them up and we went to the bank together.  I had pictured two eager faces watching as the teller handed me the exotic foreign currency.  Ah, best laid plans...Instead, as I approached the teller they instantly scattered to explore the pen curiously attached to the counter with a stretchy cord and the equallly interesting line partition that could also be stretched and released.  I managed to grab my envelope and make it to the car before anything got broken.  It is my own fault for avoiding taking them to public places.
