It's hard to believe that International Overalls Weekend is less than a month away. It seems like only yesterday that Niels, Bodil and I, were sitting around the table at the Chatette, talking about the possibility that they could be in New Orleans for that weekend. Et voila-they will be arriving at the Union Passenger Terminal on Tuesday, November 19, just in time for me to scoot over from my evening diversity class and scoop them up. We'll be "pot-lucking" on Columbus Street from Saturday afternoon into the evening, and then they depart on Sunday afternoon for Chicago, to catch their plane home to Denmark. You'll be hearing a lot more about overalls over the next month or so. Niels and I were part of a group of overalls lovers, who were recently included in an article in Modern Farmer-(I've linked it for you below). This overalls photo above screamed at me this morning. It was taken in Breaux Bridge, Louisiana, October of 2005. I'd gotten away from the rubble of Hurricane Katrina, to go visit my friends Keith and David. It was nice to be away, and smiling in my overalls.

Hi Niels and Bodil-thanks for the scoop. I would really like to come and see you in Denmark at the farmhouse. It just sounds so much like my kind of place. Things are "crazy busy" here for me and it looks like they will be up to your arrival. But, once Wednesday class is over...I'm considering my Thanksgiving holiday to begin and I'm NOT going to work at all. Papers be damned! I'm planning to have my ride drop me at the train station-I'll write more in an email to confirm more and give you other numbers and such-Can't wait-Love Lots, Laury and Sammie cat

Hi Laury, yes, we are almost ready to go now, next Saturday we will leave for San Francisco with a direct flight from Copenhagen and I have to decide which overalls I'm going to have with me !:) at least I'm gonna have my artistic overalls with me together with the old jeans jacket for the celebration ! but I might also buy some new in my favorite thrift store ! and we are really looking forward to the whole tour, not least to come to you and NO, and perhaps one day you will come up to us and stay in our new guest house, being build in these days and probably not being finished before we leave, but luckily we have an architect to take care of it ! anyway it is exciting times overall !:) love Niels and Bodil
