July the summer month?

I'm much better in my hand now and my breast so I'm able to write more. It's always been easier on the computer but took forever.

The photo above of the gorgeous sunset is taken on Saturday night from the window at our hotel room. Yes, we have been at it again. Our favorite hotel but first we went on a ships visit to Holland America lines ship - Eurodaam.

It's a huge ship but very nice and if I may say with a kind of calmness. I loved it and this might be the ship we will go on next time. We were given coffee when entering onboard. Then we got a tour around the ship with the DJ onboard. Of course I gave him a hint about the best Melodic Rock band - H.E.A.T :-)

Hasse and in the background the start

After the tour we were invited to lunch - a 4 course meal with wine! We sat together with a very nice couple.The man turned out to be manager of the travel company where we had booked our cruise :-) Isn't that a coincidence?

This is the ship we are going with in 3 weeks. This time around the Baltic sea for 7 nights with stops in Helsinki, St Petersburg, Riga, Gdansk, Visby. We are looking forward to it as you can understand.

We also saw the start of Gotland runt or as it's called in English - ÅF Offshore race. The start was right in the heart of Stockholm and of course you couldn't start all the boats at the same time so the start(s) were in different classes and during two days. We were lucky to see them all.

Here's one start

So after a good weekend we are home again and I work this week until Friday then I have vacation! We start it off by going to Dalarna to our very good friends there. Peace and tranquility is what we need. Then back to Stockholm, unpack and repack and back to our favorit hotel :-) Then home again and I have to pack a new bag to go to Malmö to visit my Mom's cousin. Also a very dear tradition. I'm going by myself and by train, which I like.

And by the way. On Friday H.E.A.T will play on the festival Latitud 57 in Oskarshamn. Don't miss it if you are in the neighborhood.
Also they will be on Swedish Television TV4 on July 21 in a program called Sommarkrysset.

Here are some photos from the ship Eurodaam

Take care and to all of my family and friends in USA wish you a very happy 4th of July

WOW!!! I just have to say Wow!

Why do you ask? I just got a mail telling me that I have won a romantic trip to Paris for 2! I enrolled in this competition, last year, which was to write a slogan and I had forgot all about it when the mail came. I didn't remember it even then so I had to go to the site and see what it was :-) I'm so happy! and so is Hasse :-) We had a great Easter which started with a wonderful ballet, Giselle, at the Royal Opera with my friend Carina. We are going again tomorrow to see Puccinis Turandot :-) The next day Easter Day we went to Gavle and this time we actually stayed at a hotel, Elite Grand hotel. A newly opened hotel, March 1, where we had the executive suite. What a suite! I have to show you some photos. One of the best suites I've ever stayed in! The suite taken from the "living-room area" From the "cosy" area with wood burning stove Our "little" bathroom with green marble Part of the bedroom What do yo...

Christmas gift

For Christmas I got a giftcard to Amazon.com from my sister Jo. It was a real treat to go to the site, explore and find something to buy. There are so many things there and it's hard to choose. For me, leaving in Sweden, it's a bit easier. I just cross the square that says "ships to Sweden" and I get all the things I can order. My choice was Bliss socks and a big bottle of Dermalogica body cream. They came today and I'm so happy. So once again a big thank you big sis for the generous gift.

BIRTHDAY, H.E.A.T, E.R and more...

Some of the wonderful flowers I got And some more Last week didn't start out well. On Monday I woke up and could hardly walk. I had such pain every step I tried to take. But off to work anyway. Tuesday even worse so I went to the doctor's office and asked to borrow crutches. Wednesday at work jumping on crutches, that must have been a sight ;-) But when I came home from work Wednesday I had fever so I went to bed quite early but didn't sleep well because of the constant pain. Thursday morning I woke up and had fever so I called the hospital and they said I had to go to the E.R. I hate that and if I can I always try to avoid it. But I was in so much pain I had to. I came and after a while they took bloodtests, urine and then I sat in a kind of smallish room. After being there for about 3 hours a doctor came and said I probably should see and orthopedic and not a medicine doctor. After one more hour another doctor came and said my bloodtest showed I had an i...
