MY DANISH BLOOD

*************************************************************
*************************************************************
Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:

The parents of my biological mother, Hazel Irene (nee Albertson) Trueblood, (I was adopted by the Mallernee family), immigrated to the United States of America from "the happiest country on Earth", the Kingdom of Denmark, a fact which proudly makes my own blood officially fifty percent Danish.

If you happen to be driving on Interstate 80 through rural Iowa, be sure and stop in Elk Horn to visit the Danish Immigrant Museum.

Although, the Kingdom of Denmark today is a tiny little country, it once consisted of a great empire encompassing many lands throughout ancient ScandinaviaEurope, Russia, and the British Isles.

And NOW - - - ,

Boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, it's time to watch a movie!


For the best effect, please be sure and enjoy watching, in "FULL SCREEN" mode, this series of automated video recordings of, "TOURING DENMARK", which I found posted at the YOU TUBE web site on Friday 05 November 2010 by the RICK STEVES' EUROPE channel.

After you click to begin the media player, each video in the series will automatically play, one right after the other.

So, gather 'round your young'uns, pop some corn, send out for some pizza, grill some hot dogs, pour some frosty mugs of ice cold root beer, snuggle up on the big comfy couch, dim the lights, and - - -

"ROLL 'EM ! ! !"

Pass the popcorn, please.

No, unfortunately, I've never been to the Kingdom of Denmark, and it's highly unlikely I'll ever get to go there.

Thank you.
