Hear, hear, have you heard, right here in Clearwater in FLORIDA we have started a tennis program for individuals, confined to a wheelchair. We that participate are very fortunate the program is headed up by the world traveled tennis pro Robert Carlbo. The motto Robert lives by is everybody can play tennis (at least that was his philosophy before I showed up). Robert’s passion and enthusiasms for wheelchair tennis makes the drills something to look forward to all week. The weekly practice take place at the McMullen tennis complex every Friday at 5-7PM. We encourage every body to come and join us in having a good time and the opportunity for some exercise in fresh air and meeting some very nice people of all ages.

Vibeke’s brother Jorgen and Knud . The photo is taken the first year when Jorgen started his new hobby, harvesting wine grapes on his summer place in Fredensborg. The last two years he has enjoyed the fruit of his labor with app. 300 bottles per year.

jorgen Skelmose is practicing with his sax, a hobby he had when he was young in Copenhagen in the swinging 1960ties, but took up again when retired a few years ago.

I have included a few family pictures so you can see he is inspired by beauty, both in family and nature. No wonder the sax sound good both in the local pub and when he is part of symphony orchestra in Roskilde Denmark.

erikbredal — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 15:08:07 +0000

happy 4th. Life Good. Vibeke had a brain scan (MRI) june 29 , we were afraid of they wouldn’t find a brain, but have no fear , not only did the scan locate the brain, and the report was very positive and stated no new outbreak, we are very pleased. We are still waiting the dr. take on report.I don’t why I picked that particular photo, I did it because , if i don’t upload every so often ,i forget. Do you know the word “because”is the english word that is most difficult to explain the meaning of to a non english speaking person.

july 4-8

This year July 4th celebration will be a little different, but different can be good or bad, this going to be good. We got the report on Vibeke’s MRI scan last week. We read it as positive , but waiting to hear from her neurologist.

On the Court... In the Chair

My condition is unchanged, living a full life at a slow pace, so what , I have no place to be before I show up. I am considering at take up wheelchair tennis.First lesson is next Friday. July11.As you can see on the photo it didn’t take many visit for me to find a pretty tennis partner, we have a date the next four fridays.

It was exciting for me to be on a tennis court again.When I think back , it must be 10 years ago at I last played tennis. It felt good the wind blowing in my hair again and I hope the program will continue, but it is only funded to August 15, maybe the sponser can find additional $$.

unrelated subject. I am still working with photos taking 2-5 years. Vacations to Denmark over the years have givenus many memories. maybe I can collect all photos one place,now at least know how to more organized on future trip.

Watercolors

The Vikings landed many years ago in boats just this one on the right.

Let me see I can add a few more photos.

This picture below, shows my Brain after the stroke.The residual damage is a left arm renderet useless,and a left leg that is weak and can not carry its load, but is it minor details. I compare the handicap to a car with a flat tire, but otherwise the engine in good shape.
