Leaving day is never fun. Sight-seeing trips are over, and you won’t start any new project. Magda had packed and was ready to go. I can’t remember why we were in the garage, but Lise noticed an extension cord plugged into the ceiling. She thought it would be a good idea to take it down in case we used that part of the garage. The girls moved the ladder in place, figured out how to adjust it, and Magda unplugged the cord easily. That was a marvelous preemptive fix.

After John died, we developed a plan to get Lise to and from the airport, because I won’t drive on fast roads. I ask neighbors to do it, and we always go to Culver’s for a meal followed by a dessert of frozen soft custard. Lise was doing the driving, but we asked Shawn to go with us to share the fun. These are photos taken at Culver’s.


Lise is back in Denmark now, but I forgot to take pictures of the airport run. At least I have a fair number from the Outer Banks! Thank you for traveling with us.
