We are an average (happily) married
couple with a house, garden and a Volvo car. Only lacking the dog to truly match the description of
being average.
That is, we are probably not that average after60 years of marriage; for a marriage to last that long is
becoming somewhat of a rarity.

Then
10 more years have passed and we have now celebrated ours
DIAMOND WEDDING ANNIVERSERSARY
16.O9.2021
___________________________________________
Mille and I met in the same
way as most couples did.
At a Saturday night dance.
Back then every meeting hall and public house had dances on Saturday nights.
We did not have discos with techno music – or “hottentot” music,
as I
prefer
to call it.
No, back then there would be a live band with musicians playing real
instruments without the use of computers and the like. ____________________________________________
Together we had our beautiful
daughter, Helle, who you can find out more
about on the following page. ____________________________________________
Mille’s hobbies are: - (WAS)
The house, garden and cooking the latter being
something she is practically
famous for! She loves a “small” dinner party of 30, 40 or 50 people.
In addition to that Mille likes “Aqua Trim” which is water gymnastics.
She enjoys a long ride on her bike or a walk in the lovely nature that
surrounds us here in mid Jutland. _____________________________________________
Mille has been working as a
saleswoman at an optician in Silkeborg since we
returned to Denmark from
Greenland. ---

Søren’s hobbies are: - (WAS)
The garden!!! I mow the lawn, cut the hedge but leave
everything else to Mille. I do not tend to interfere much with the housework
either.
I guess I am a typical product of the time when men were/are very
privileged in
regards to everything concerning housekeeping, children,
cooking etc.
My greatest interest lies with computers, which I spend hours studying.
I
have become quite capable and use the Internet a lot as well as a programme
called SKYPE, which allows me to communicate with
people all over
the world. ____________________________________________
We always have had many guests including both family as well as friends
and
we
enjoy it
very much.
Children are always welcome and we have had the
children of family and friends
here for
holidays several times.
Another hobby of mine is writing songs for parties and other occasions.
I
have had this hobby for many years and continue to find it fun,
exciting and
challenging.
Unfortunately schools no longer teach the classic Danish folksongs and
only
few
people know the good, old songs.
This usually results in people
requesting a very small variety of melodies
but I tend
to suggest different
ones. _____________________________________________
In my working life, I was sales
manager in different store. Food, hardware, kitchen furniture, clothes, shoe, and more. (Sometimes it all, at the same time). - (Big store). ______________________________________________

We have sold our house in Salten - which is 10 km. south of Silkeborg,
and now we are moved into a completely new apartment

We enjoy it. No house repair - no hedge and lawn mowing, etc..
