Life's a Stitch

Nine days in Denmark, visiting with nine of C’s cousins, a whirlwind prior to boarding a ship that will take us across the ocean, closer to home.

Chuck’s father was the only one who emigrated to North America in 1924, the rest stayed behind and the family grew. His dad intended the trip to be temporary, a study in different farming techniques, but in the meantime met C’s mother and as they say, the rest is history. He didn’t make it back to Denmark until 1952. This is a photo from that trip, more than half pictured he met for the first time.

Besides the visiting, a highlight of my trip was attending a painting group. This was my painting, partly inspired by the Camino paths we walked and partly the Danish fall colours. 

Wifi is going to be sporadic until we’re back home, but check in because I intend on posting when I can.
