Friday evening we went out to dinner with the rest of the neighbours in the little village where we live. We all met over at the local farm as they have a big barn with room for us all to be seated. We spent the evening eating Gullash together. The Gullash was made from one of the cows from the farm and it tasted soooo good. We got to meet some new neighbours that just moved into the area and also got to catch up with some of the neighbours from the other end of our road, that we very seldom see.
We have a lot of talented people living in this neck of the woods. A few of them just got up and started to play some songs together. There was one on guitar, one on bass, one on piano, one on accordion and Kristian on his sax. They hadn´t practised and they sounded great together. We sang some known Danish songs and some Beatles songs. It was a really cosy evening.
Saturday morning we decided to head out and do a bit of shopping. We headed to one of the big shopping centers close to us but we didn´t buy anything, we just had fun window shopping. After a couple of hours we headed home and made ourselves a quick sandwich before we got stuck into cleaning the house.
Then we had a bit of time relaxing before we had to get ready to head out. It was SILVER ENVELOPE time again!!
So he chose Lionel and me and last night was our date night. (Actually the trip to Italy never got to be more than an idea. The go-karts would not be ready to collect in February, so after all that I could have kept the whole thing quiet. Having said that, we both enjoyed being able to look forward to this night out.
We started the date by going to the restaurant that we used to visit the first few years we were married. The food was always good and it was always very reasonable in price. It hasn´t changed in all these years....the decor is still the same, the food is still good and the prices are still reasonable.
After dinner it was finally time to see Lionel Richie! We were soooo looking forward to this. Years ago when we made cassette tapes to each other, we always played romantic songs from Lionel Richie´s albums. This was something special to see him live.
He did not disappoint. We were standing about 5 rows from the front in the middle of all the action. We got to meet some lovely people while waiting on the concert to start....a Swedish girl and her American husband and an American man with a Danish girlfriend.
The majority of people there were our age or older, but us oldies still know how to rock. We had a great time jumping up and down to all the quick numbers and we sang our hearts out to both the ballads and the quick songs. It sure is a night we will remember for a very long time.
After church today our friends Jette, Philip and their two kids came for lunch. We had such a cosy afternoon with them. This morning the weather here was beautiful - sun and blue skies, so we hoped we could go for a walk in the forest in the afternoon. However the weather changed and it started to rain, so we spent the afternoon watching Frozen with the two kids. Just the sort of day to be inside being cosy.
A really great weekend from start to finish. Now it´s time to get organised and ready to face a new week.
(For my memory - Silver envelope poems...envelope 9:
Once again a date is planned,
21st February is when I need my man!
Cause we are going on a date
At 4pm so don´t be late.
To Blostrød kro we need to go
To this address ________, so don´t go slow.
Candlelight and a delicious meal,
Is where the next part will be revealed.
After dinner envelope 10 should have been read. Here is what it said...envelope 10:
HELLO Kristian,
Now we´ve had a wonderful meal,
The next part I´m going to reveal.
You need to drive to this address ------------
We are goint to hear one of the best!
We always loved to hear his songs
He is going to rock us ALL NIGHT LONG,
We might even start DANCING ON THE CEILING
Oh! isn´t this such a great feeling
Kristian, YOU STOLE MY HEART AWAY
The 1st of September was such a great day!
After all these years I´m still STUCK ON YOU
I hope that you are stuck on me too.
If you SAY YOU and I SAY ME
Can you guess who it could be
That we are going to hear tonight,
And have this memory for the rest of our life!)
