Birthday and more.....

My Mom turned 87 last Saturday and on Sunday Helen, me and Danniel went to celebrate her. We had planned to take her out for lunch but on Saturday they called from the home where she lived and said she was still not well after her pneumonia. She had been in bed all week and couldn't even walk. So we changed our plans and brought cakes and presents to her in her room while having coffee. Very nice and she seemed better which was comforting.

This week has been full of work. I need to to everything ready before my holiday. Also this week actually yesterday Hasse turned 70. I can't believe that! He still looks so young and fit despite his illness.
Tomorrow Saturday we have Open House to celebrate him and we except around 46 friends and relatives to turn up. It will certainly be crowded but as we say in Sweden: If there are heartroom (love) there are butroom (room to sit down) :-)
So today I'm cooking gulasch soup, baking bread, making cakes and more...... Should be a lot of fun having everyone here again (although lot of work).
Then Sunday, hopefully, I will have time to plan what to pack for the trip.
Did I mention I'm going to Los Angeles to visit my sister. That will be so nice. I haven't seen her in 3 years :-( It's a long journey and cost a bit so you don't go every year. I will stay almost three weeks and I'm so looking forward to that. Also my nieces will come and my nieces son (what is that to me?)

Most of the times I've been over I have been there for Easter and so is the case this year too. So I will go to Jo's school for Easter egg hunt which I remember was very funny. I will write and tell you when I'm in place.
I start from Arlanda at 7 AM Wednesday morning and will be in LA the same day at 3PM after travelling 17 hours! So the first day I'm always a bit tired but I will try to stay up because the sooner you get in the right timezone. (It's 9 hours time difference).


So now you know what I'm doing this weekend. I hope you all have a good one :-)

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.

New month and new challenges

Since I last wrote I have had boardmeeting at my work where I sit on the board. I have had audit for the Rheumatic association which went well.  We have also had our first of the year member meeting and the theme this time was Fibromyalgia and Morbus Dercum (a rare disease) and as usual I made a good healthy soup and to that we serve bread, cheese, water, coffee with something sweet too.   They don't look that happy but we had just eaten and it's serioud matters we discuss I have also had audit at work which also went very well and is extremely early. I have attended a board meeting with the Rheumatic assocation district Stockholm. I went to my hairstylist since it was long overdue. My hairstylist has truly became a very good and dear friend. We have similar backgrounds and we have children that are artists. Her daughter is a singer and show host on one of the cruise ships on the Baltic Sea and I have Jonas. We have so much fun toghether she and I and we have eve...

NEW YEAR

I left you in December just before Christmas with a beginning cold. And of course it bloomed the rest of my leave from work. So I decided to stay home another week so my first day in the new year was yesterday :-) Even if I felt ill we had a lot of fun during Christmas and New Year. The day before Christmas Eve Jonas, Mandy and Eddie came. We did the last Christmas decorations, ate together and had a good time before going to bed. They slept over so in the morning we all had a wonderful Christmas breakfast which, of course, included Christmas porridge (which we only eat once a year) made of rice and to that we had the obligatory Christmas ham sandwich with mustard. This is so good and when you have this you know it's Christmas. Of course I bought the ham from an organic farm where I have been myself. They actually also have a recording studio on the ground so Jonas has been there several times recording bands. Therefore I know the pigs are well kept and have the best lives t...
