2008 Update

Hi Everyone, sorry it has been some time since I have updated my blog.

I have been quite busy finishing some commission paintings and organizing for our big move back to Canada. Yes, my husband and I will be moving back to Canada in early February and unfortunately, I will not be updating my blog until I move back home. I will continue my blog when I move to Canada and at that time it will be "Lisa's Ottawa Happy Hour."

We have enjoyed our 3.5 years in Copenhagen and beautiful apartment by the Oresund Bay. We also met some very nice friends during our stay. Thanks so much to all my readers who have stopped by my "Danish Happy Hour Blog" to see what I have been up to in Copenhagen. All my best wishes to you all.

And now it's time to say good bye. I am really looking forward to moving back to my beautiful native Canada.

Our New home in Canada

Rainbow before the Storm

Hi Everyone, the other day I was busy varnishing some paintings in my kitchen when all of a sudden the sky became very dark over the water and out popped a beautiful rainbow over the water.

Then it began to come down in buckets and hail. It was really something to see. I have never seen a rainbow before the rain storm???



Wishing you all a nice day

Which Flower are You?

I love flowers and found this site that tells you what kind of flower you are based on your answers to a few questions.

I am a daffodial: You have a sunny disposition and are normally one of the first to show up for the party. You don't need too much attention from the host once you get there as you are more than capable of making yourself seen and heard.

Find out what flower you are.

Back from Wonderful Canada!

Hi Everyone, We are finally back home in Copenhagen after a beautiful, busy trip to Canada. I am slowly getting back to my daily routine but unfortunately caught a bad cold coming over.

We had a wonderful vacation and the weather was just gorgeous--a real Indian summer with all the trees changing colour.

The big event of our trip was my sister’s wedding, which was just amazing and she looked so beautiful and radiant. My new brother-in-law Martin was also dashing! I am so happy for them both!

We did so much, and I have not had chance to sit down and write a good post, so in the meantime I leave you with this little post and a few pics. I will write more soon.

It was so great to see all my family and friends.

I also celebrated my big 40th birthday with my close friends and family! Thanks so much to all of you for coming and sharing in my big day and your wonderful gifts. I also had my first Thanksgiving Dinner in Canada in 12 years with yummy turkey and all the trimmings. It was such a wonderful Trip!

Wine - always a good gift for Lisa

I hope you all have been doing well and enjoying the beautiful Fall! In the meantime, I wish you all a great week!
