A Dane on Vacation

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Daughter Lise is working on weekdays, so friend Toke is the Dane with a vacation. He offered to cook a Chinese meal for us, and we jumped at it. I’m glad I have a wok on hand for him to use. Toke speaks Chinese and lived in China for a while.

There were noodles with beef, as well as beef and broccoli. They bought buns filled with pork at the Asian market, and they were a treat, too.

Our delicious Chinese meal. We used chopsticks.

Another day we went to Sylva to have lunch with friends Connie and Marla. Lise promised Toke that he would enjoy talking bikes with Marla, and so he did. I speak for all of us that we enjoyed every minute together.

Lise usually lights a cigarette on the way back from the stop sign, and if she hasn’t finished, we sit on the porch. Most normal people porch-sit in warm weather, but we had been heated by walking and sat outside comfortably when the temperature was freezing.

Lise saw a bargain at Walmart and called me to see if I wanted a new queen-sized air mattress. I did, because Sarah and Nathaniel ended up on the floor a few days ago. Nate said the old mattress had begun losing air the last time he was here, so it was time for a replacement. It served us well for ten years, and that is probably old age in mattress years.

  1. Another delightful post! How fun to have Chinese prepared for you, and get a new air mattress! They are handy, but the last time I slept on one, I had to roll off onto the floor to get up!
