Lise’s friend, Toke, landed on the 21^st, and we got home from the airport at 1:30 a.m. on the 22^nd. On the 24^th, his luggage was delivered, having been lost in Copenhagen, Amsterdam, New York or possibly Charlotte.

First photos weren’t taken until grandson Nathaniel and his fiancee Sarah arrived to stay one night. We were a bit late, but we did have the mirror ritual.

Nathaniel and Sarah delivered an old family bookcase they had rescued. They took care reassembling it, because it wasn’t one piece, but four boxes stacked on top of each other.

I wanted a photo of their seeing the new family jigsaw puzzle for the first time. Kate and Lise also saw it, but we haven’t worked it yet.

As always, the group found something amusing.

To be continued.
