Things you take for granted

The sun - it has been shining for the past 5 days and we are all in such a better mood because of it. It really is amazing how much the sun does for you.  

Fresh fruit - I miss knowing that when I go to the Produce World, the fruit will be great. Here, fruits cost a fortune and you never know if it will be great. 

Cheap gas - I know the gas is also high in the states right now, but Denmark beats you.... by a lot. We are paying almost $7/ gallon. 

A bathtub - the kids and I miss it so much

Flip Flops - I miss getting to wear sandals, anytime of the year

A big fridge - ours is about half the size of a regular American size fridge... and too think many people have 2! 

Ice - I miss getting served ice in your drinks when you go out to eat

Free Water - I can't stand that we have to buy water at restaurants here

Book stores - I miss being able to hear about a new book and having the opportunity to go and buy it

Library - free books to rent 

An automatic car - stick shifts stink

A good park for the kids - the same one we go to is getting kind of boring

Walks - having a place to walk to.. either a friends house, a local store, ice cream parlor, etc..
