Aunt Connie's Generosity at Christmas & Hannukah
 
Connie has spent the past few weeks creating a wall hanging of Maine for both boys. Handmade and crafted with love, the wall hangings have already found their way onto the boys' walls. And for years to come we know these special gifts will follow the boys from the rooms and houses of their lives.  Connie also searched the Internet for traditional recipes from Denmark and Sweden, and each boy received a bag full of various goodies. She and ben also gave each boy a book about Maine as well as a very personal book. For their part, the boys went shopping several weeks ago for Connie and selected a 14ct gold cross and chain celebrating Connie's faith. And for Ben... Alex and Peter are waiting to deliver the goods :-) in the next few days. 

All of us feel blessed with the friendships that have blossomed among the Venskuses, Szeps, Krause-Kjaers, and the Kents.    Pax....

We also want a neighbour like Connie!

Rich,could you please ask her if she and her husband have any interest, in moving to Bromma. We could start looking for a nice house close to us.The climate is the same as in Maine and we can offer some free medical counseling and swedish language courses. An offer she can´t resist?! ;)
