- Thank you Auntie Ruth for that story which I can supplement. Our son Jacob is also a Sunday’s child and when he was 4 years old, he fell into an open air swimming pool in South Africa, His parents didn’t notice but his older brother, Joshua, at 10 years old, jumped in immediately and pulled him out. I suppose the lesson here is despite potential drownings of our Sunday-born-family members, lucky fate intervenes and preserves your lives. Thank goodness. Katrina

- I, too, am a Sunday’s child. You will understand that, when you read on and see, that in the end I was lucky : I used to play in the stable, where the cows were housed. There was a long passage between the two rows of cows. They had their behinds out to the passage, which was nicely covered with yellow tiles. There was room for leading away their urine to a subterranean container, before the tiles. The tiles were fine for riding there on my three-wheeled bike. Full speed. Only one day the lid was not on over the container to collect the urine from the cows. I speeded into it on the bike. The bike saved me, because it was stuck near the surface of the container, so they could get me up. After their first shock, their reaction was to tease me, because I had smelled.

- This is great, Katrina and Alan! I sent you an e-mail. Have a look at it and see, if you can use it.
- I am reading letters that my mother Kristine Andersen, nee Kaae, kept and translating them into English. One is from her cousin Andrea Thomsen sent from Skive Sanatoriet dated August 11, 1919. They were very close and lived in Tvede near Randers. Andrea died of TB perhaps in 1922 or earlier. I was glad to see the photo of the sanatorium. It’s amazing what one fines on the Internet when I searched for Skive Sanatorium. Best wishes.
