My first day over here

02/10 2010 

I woke up in the morning at 7 o’clock, my internal clock knew seemingly that it was afternoon at home. I chose yoghurt for breakfast, just because I knew it. During breakfast I had a serious talk with Lillian and I found out that people is also getting divorced in the US. Two marriages, two adopted sons, a lot of grandchildren and some great-grandchildren are what she has . Furthermore she has a new boyfriend and a lot of friends. I think that even though she is retired she has a lot of stuff to do – just like all retired persons.

After breakfast I took a walk in the neighborhood and luckily I did not get lost. After experiencing that all streets look like each other I asked Lillian if we should have something to eat. She made me a sandwich with more turkey than bread, but it tasted fine.

 I the afternoon Sara, who lives only one house away from me, and I went to the mall. It was infinitely great and after three hours shopping we had seen a fraction of the shopping area. But we got what we needed and much more than that.

Home at 67^th Avenue Lillian and I went to a “Ultimative Garage Sale”. It did not surprise me, but American garage sales are exactly like Danish garage sales.

A day with serious talks, good meals, a walk, shopping and a garage sale has ended. Wondering what tomorrow will bring I’ll stop writing, but more reports will come later.
