PARTY, PARTY WITH H.E.A.T FAMILY AND FRIENDS




What a night!! It was the most wonderful, fun party ever. Thanks to all our friends, neighbours and H.E.A.T with families.

The preparations actually started a long time ago with me saying to Hasse one morning: I think we should have a big party. And Hasse answered: I just thought so too.
So the stage was set. How to do? I said that I didn't want to slave in the kitchen. I was thinking of having it outside while Hasse thought inside. I said is it even possible to have 42 guests sitting in our livingroom? So we contacted a friend who is caterer and has a business Festspecialisten and he came over, looked at our room, measured and went to home to think. We got a suggestion from him that we could seat everyone so we went ahead. We hired everything from him like tables, chairs, porcelin, glasses etc. We also took the food from him and we had a buffé with chickenspit, sirloinspit, salmonspit with sauces, sallat, coleslaw, Quiche Lorraine, bread and butter and for dessert cheesecake and coffe.

At their arrival we were outside in the carport and we served punch which I had made. Great taste if I may say so :-) Then I had some quizes so we had appointed 6 teamleaders that each had a colour (they didn't know in advance) Then the ladies draw envelopes and also the gentlemen and in each there was a piece of paper in the colour they should join. Then they had to figure out instruments in sentences and figure out names from rather tricky descriptions.

After that it was time to eat and everyone joined in with a healthy appetite. We served wine (red and white) beer, soda, water. Anders J told a very appreciated story during dinner. I had made songcheets so we sang a lot too. Then I had a game which is so funny. Go to youtube and watch and get a good laugh :-)))

Then Crash played his song to thank you. His own composition and with help from Kicki
(I hate blogspot that only allows 100 mb film to upload. Who has only 100 mb??)
So here's a link instead: Crash thank you song


Then coffee and cake, more wine, more beer, some dancing, a lot of chatting and laughing and around midnight we served hot dogs which everyone loved.

Although we had said not to bring anything apart from a partymood everyone brought something and so many beautiful flowers, whiskys, wines, champagne, chocolate, baskets filled with fruit, cheeses, olives etc and so much more. Thank you everyone for coming and giving of yourselves. I love you all!!!!

Thanks Danniel for dogsitting Hilma for us :-)

Tomorrow I'm going to see someone about a joboffer I got Friday afternoon. I will write and tell more about that tomorrow night.

Have a good Monday everyone.

Oh my God

The Christmas smorgasbord I just realized I haven't written anything since November 23! But I can tell you I haven't been lazy but there has been so much going on that I haven't had the strength to write. I had meetings that week and I was supposed to be at a conference hotel for lunch that Friday but I was to tired I had to cancel it. So instead I baked safron buns (!) and made chocolate troufles with ginger.  The ferry On December 1 it was Staffan's birthday (Hasse's oldest son) and I worked and worked at my job. Thursday I and Hasse were supposed to go to the theatre and see Come again Charlie, which was one of my birthday presents - thank you Pär and Brita. But Hasse wasn't feeling well so instead I asked Linnea, my bonus grand daughter if she wanted to go and she was very happy that I asked. We had a really good time and the play, which was a comedy, was funny but also with a message which made you laugh and then stop. It was about the si...

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...
