throw a party

On a long train ride yesterday, Charlotte shows Brian with her three fingers how old she will be this year. Brian naturally asks, "will you throw a party?" and Charlotte replies "No, I not throw up. I am very not sick now."

Reb and Brian commented that the Norwegian coin with a value of 1 krone that has a hole in the middle is neat. I remember my mom saying the same when she visited. And I have never thought about it, but it is neat. How can there be things so obvious yet we just don't notice? Like Little Denmark. There is a little tiny island just off the shore of the town Sandvika near where we live. I drive the stretch of road that passes the island every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. But I never noticed there was an island there. On Denmark's national holiday, there were some Danes celebrating on the little island. I had a friend in the car as we drove past and she said it looks like there is a party at Little Denmark. I look out the window and am dismayed to find there is an island there that I have never once noticed!
