I'm sorry. I missed the mention of the funeral in any thread.
Hope you are doing well.

I know when my Grandmother passed away it affected me very much.
I wrote 2 stories about her and a play. Then named my daughter after her. Katherina.
I'm glad you are doing as well as can be expected.

He he he...eh?
Was there not a Grandmother or a funeral?
Was I just having fun poked at me?
If so let me in on the joke.

There is! 
I just thought I should laugh a bit because I hugged you!
I'm surprised how little I think of her. I don't like that I don't. 
It's not like last year when my other grandmother died, that was really bad for me...
Well, except for this, I've been in a very good mood the last weeks, and I believe she is happier where she is now, so I'll keep smiling.

I was the same with my Grandmother's.
The other one was not as dear to me. So when she died I was more affected by how my mother was dealing with it than feeling saddened myself.
Also I wouldn't name a daughter after her, because her name was Blondina. Tee hee...
(and no more of that hugging stuff...yeech)

Don't tell me this is going to be one of those mushy threads.
No conversation - just ALL mushy stuff. Yucky

You know I've never looked up in my atlas where you are from. (I sort of keep track of people I talk to in there) Plus I'm a map 
Talk to you Monday. Good night.

So what is the name of the town you live in, so I don't have go through the backlog!
Is that also the town you were raised in?

I found Roskilde - your nearly in Sweden.
Couldn't locate Frederikssund, but I spotted Frederikshavn and Fredericia! Was I anywhere near the correct town.

Frederikssund is 30 km north of Roskilde. We've had nine kings named Frederik, so that's the reason for those names.
Danish lesson #something for SMoB:
Frederikshavn = Frederik's harbour named after F VI
Fredericia - after F III
Frederikssund = F's sound after F III
There's also
Frederiksberg (from bjerg = hill, mountain) after F IV (In Copenhagen)
Frederiksværk - F's works (a powder mill) after F V (North of Frederikssund)
Frederikshåb (Paamiut) - F's hope after F V (In Greenland!)
and there's
Frederiksborg = F's castle, one of the most famous castles in Denmark, named after F II (In Northzealand)
Frederiksø = F's island after F IV (In the Baltic Sea)
and plenty more...

Sounds like if you were named Frederik you were pretty much guaranteed a Kingship!
It looks like on my map that Sjaelland is an island. Is it very different from the penninsula? I would guess that it's more urban because of the proximity of Copenhagen. Is there more Swedish influences on that west side?
