A New Year and still snowing

Our New Year's Eve was so nice. Good food, good friends, good wines and champagne and lots of laughter and fun. Just as it should be. But when we were getting ready to go out on the balcony to watch all the fireworks it snowed so much you hardly could see anything. Also rather windy so we decided to sit in the snugroom instead watching the few we saw from the warmth inside. Just as nice and much cosier.



Photos from New Year's Eve. From top champagne in the snugroom when they came. Happy Mia and Krister in hats. Inger kissing Hasse still happy in hats. The dessert - chocolatefondant with raspberries and whipped cream.

New Year's Day we slept a bit longer and we just had a lazy day watching films, sleeping a bit and eating. Very nice except that at night when I was out walking Hilma she suddenly pulled hard and made me fall on the street. Normally I wouldn't have but the street was so full of snow which made it very hard to keep balance.
They hadn't cleared the street then (they didn't do that until next day). Luckily I didn't break anything but I have bruises and I hurt my arm and leg. Must have looked funny though.

I was out today and took some photos to show you. The first one is from our front garden and the last is an icetap which is at our frontdoor. Do you want to be here? I don't love too hot weather and if it's going to be winter it's better it looks like this anyway rather than having the black ice weather. That I hate. But I hope we won't have this as long as we had last winter.



Take care everyone out there and if you're on the road here in Sweden - drive carefully!!

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.

On popular demand

I have on popular demand decided to start writing again. I haven't had time to do this blog for a lot of reasons mostly lack of time. There is so much to do and so little time. Since I last wrote there have been a big change and it's my grandson. Yes, I'm a granny now to the most adorable boy, Eddie. He's now 19 months old and I love him to the moon and back. He's my joy and I'm so happy I can see him grow. I have really been there from the moment he was born (almost).  Always on the piano the first thing he do. His parents called me the morning of April 23 last year at 0415AM and said it was time. So I just rushed out of bed, drove to them and then drove them to the hospital. It was a long day before we they called and told us that Eddie was born in the evening. Only 1 1/2 day later I fetched them and drove the new little family home. Since they don't have a car I have driven them where they want to go. The first 6 months were quite difficult wi...

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 ...
