En hel masse afslapning / A lot of relaxing

Jeg nåede flyet og havde en virkelig fredelig tur til USA. Med kufferten fuld af slik som sædvanligt! Det er næsten 1 år siden jeg har været i Ann Arbor, og jeg var temmelig spændt på om Bailey kunne huske mig overhovedet.
Tror måske, han kunne huske mig lidt, men han kunne IHVERTFALD huske leverpostej! Så snart han så æsken, var han helt oppe at køre. På trods af at han umuligt kan have lugtet noget gennem indpakningen.
Så han kæmper med min mindste nevø om hvem der elsker leverpostej mest!

I was on time for the plane and had a very peaceful trip to the US. With my bag filled with candy, just as usual! It is almost a year since I went to Ann Arbor last time, and I was kind of excited whether Bailey would remember at all.
I do think he remembered me a little bit, but he CERTAINLY remembered the liver paté! As soon as he saw the box, he got so excited. Although he couldn't have been able to smell anything through the wrapping.
So he is competing with my youngest nephew about who loves liver paté the most!

En af de første ting på ferie-listen var at få ordnet negle. Altid hyggeligt, men lidt grænseoverskridende sådan at få hevet og filet i tæerne! Resultatet blev flot, ihvertfald, og vi nåede endda at se lidt fodbold, hvor Danmark spillede mod Frankrig.

One of the first things on the vacation-list was to get a pedicure. Always nice, but a bit scary to have someone messing with my toes! The result was pretty, anyway, and we even got to watch a bit of the football match Denmark-France.

Vi spiste også is. (Det ER jo sommer!) En helt ny slags, hvor isen blev frosset på en meget kold metalplade og skrabet af til små ruller. Det mest frisklavede is jeg nogensinde har fået, og ret lækkert.

We also had ice cream. (You know - it IS summer!) A new type of ice cream with the cream being frozen on a very cold metal plate and then scraped off, forming little rolls. The most freshly made ice cream I ever had, and really yummy.

I går var vi i Kerrytown nede i downtown Ann Arbor. Jeg ville gerne på Farmer's market og se Amish folk. (Ja. Sådan er jeg!) Når nu vi var der, KUNNE vi jo også gå i "Spun", den dejlige garnbutik.
Men inden vi kom så langt, fik min nevø lov til at spille på klokkespil. En hel melodi! Det var sjovt at se, og jeg tror, han nød det.

Yesterday, we went to Kerrytown in downtown Ann Arbor. I wanted to visit the Farmer's market and see the Amish. (Yes. I'm like that!) Since we were there, we COULD also visit "Spun", the lovely yarn shop. But before we got that far, my nephew got to play the bells. An entire song! It looked like great fun, and I think he enjoyed. 

Min niece er ret kvik. Så i garnbutikken kiggede HUN også på garn, og fandt noget virkelig lækkert som hun gerne vil have en sweater i. Vi fandt også en opskrift, så det er vel bare at holde pause med babystrik og komme i gang!

My niece is pretty smart. In the yarn shop, SHE also went looking for yarn and found some very delicious stuff that she would like a sweater from. We even found a pattern, so I guess I just need to put down the baby-stuff and get going!

Det var faktisk det her tårns klokker min nevø spillede på, og alle folk kunne høre det. Sejt!

This was the tower with the bells my nephew was playing for everybody to hear! Cool!

Min niece har snart fødselsdag, og hun ville gerne farve garn til sine strømper. Derfor havde jeg (meget selvopofrende, selvfølgelig!) bestilt lidt garn og farver fra Knitpicks, og så farvede vi i ovn. I mangel af mikrobølgeovn. Det fik ca halvanden time på 300 grader Fahrenheit (det samme som 150 celsius), og dagen i dag kommer hun vist til at være temmelig utålmodig i forhold til hvornår det er helt tørt og jeg går i gang med at strikke......

My niece celebrates her birthday soon, and she would like to dye the yarn for her socks. So I (only for her sake, of course!) ordered a bit of yarn and dye from Knitpicks, and then we dyed in the oven. Due to a lack of microwaves. The yarn had one and a half hour on 300 degrees Fahrenheit (equals 150 degrees celsius), and today, I guess she will be very impatient regarding when it will be completely dry and I will start knitting......
