It started snowing on February 10th and has been snowing off and on now through today (Feburary 19th) and they expect at least a few more days. It's fine snow and hasn't really accumulated more than a few inches. but that hasn't stopped Copenhagen from it's regular routine. Bicyclists still continue, traffic is bad, schools stay open and dogs still poop on the sidewalks.
We came back from Germany last Friday night and I have ben sick with a nasty sore throat and chest cold eveyr since. it's the kind of cold where the cough will linger for a long time. Oh well, at least I have the luxury of resting and not working, major responsibilities or commitments.
I did manage to get out for a walk with another American mom from Maine who moved here when I did. I brought along my camera for fun. I couldn't resist the pic of the lady in the fur coat, walking her dog. These last few weeks have given all the Danish women a chance to bring out the fur - and they wear it for every reason. But what's amazing in this photo is the fact that she scooped her poop! (notice the bag in her hand).
We expect a few more days of snow and cold and then probably back to our normal gray and gray.
Craig is in Oslo, Norway for the day and night. A business made a huge order of LaCrosee boots and he's there to greet go over details. Tomorrow is the Danish holiday of Fastlavn. The children will dress in costumes and bash barrels. I'll find out more at the school assembly. Monday is Cultures Day at school and I'll be working the American Table (go figure!) and baking apple pies for the girls' classrooms. More details to come.
Met with the moving company today. Move out will be simple. They will pack most everything for us, except clothes and books and personals. They will pack us the day before school ends (June 23rd) and load the container on the 24th. We will sleep in our house on the 23rd, but in a hotel on the 24th. No air mattresses this time. Pack the container and we're out the door.
Love and Light,

I think I can almost forgive a person for wearing fur AND having a dog that poops in public places IF the person scoops the poop.
Dog owners who don't scoop their poop should have seriously painful fines and penalties inflicted on them.
