Saturday August 31 - last day of summer?

OK here I go again :-) Fireworks Beautiful! Where did I left off? Yes, at last weekends fireworks :-) Fantastic! And so unexpected. I started to see that something was going on around 830PM when several police boats came and sealed the area from other boats. I thought something had happened but as the time went on more and more small boats gathered and then at 10PM a big boom came and it all started and kept going for 15 minutes. And we were at the front row :-) Hasse at Boule & Berså where we had coffee (me) and beer (Hasse) in the beautiful weather Me in front of "our" hotel I loved the ship - Brilliance of the seas - and I wouldn't mind going with her, at all. It was the first time that I've been on a cruise ship viewing and the guide have been Swedish! They usually have someone onboard, information/guestservices or something but this time a Swedish guy from Scania. He does work with RCCL and has done so for 8 years. The pool area o

I'm still here....... ;-)

I know I have been a bad girl not writing for so long but so much has happened and I don't seem to have the strength to write. It has not been all fun and party but of course that too. When I last wrote I was on my way to New York. Two days before I started to get sick. Hasse had been ill for a while and got antibiotics from his doctor. Fever, coughing and so on. So I asked Helen to prescribe the same for me which she did but since I had the allergic reaction a couple of weeks ago I didn't take any before the flight. Everything went well with the flight. I was upgraded to Business, thank God! I had the wonderful company of a 90-old lady from Sweden who now was both American and Swedish citizen. She had had the most exciting life and she invited me home to her on East Manhattan, river views, for a glass of wine. We arrived at Hilton New York Midtown which is a huge hotel. We had a suite on the 42nd floor with views over Central Park. Great view and a very spacious suite. We

100-year old party, H.E.A.T and NEW YORK!

Since I last wrote I have been to the 100-year party in Gävle which was on, probably, the hottest day of the year - 31C and this time it's on the plus-side ;-) Good food, drinks, laughter, singing and dancing. It was a great night. We stayed the night at a hotel since the house already was overcrowded with family and friends sleeping over. Work again Monday until Wednesday and then on Wednesday afternoon I and Helen put our Mom to the final rest besides Olle. It was a very tender and fine moment when we placed the urn in the grave. We also planted a rose on the grave. After that we went to Ulriksdal's Inn where we had a nice dinner while overlooking a horsepadock and a lake which is right by the Inn. The Inn is actually in the same spot as Ulriksdal castle and is a gorgeous place. After eating I gave Helen a gift since she turned 50 the next day. Can't believe my little beautiful sister is 50. She doesn't look it at all! She's the best, so emp

Finally it's here!

I have been asking, testing the wrong kind and longing for this and finally yesterday when I went to the store - it was there!! The creamy Havarti cheese that I always have in La Mirada for my breakfast toast. Now I can buy it here and think back on wonderful days together with my family in CA <3 p=""> Just wanted you to know :-)
