New week again!

Time flies, doesn't it? It has already been a week, and what a week. Will it never stop being so busy? I'm so looking forward to go to LA. I know I can relax there, sit on the porch and watch the hummingbirds (I hope) :-)
The hummingbird feeder but I'm not sure there is a bird there. Maybe on the backside

The past week was full, as usual ;-), of work, board meeting, annual meeting, writing protocol but also birthday dinner.

It has been so much work lately with the annual meeting for the Rheumatic association closing in. We have to write the annual report for our members which includes all activities last year, the economy status, the business plan for this year with budget and I'm rather much involved in them all.
Our house troubador Chris "Keno"

At work it has settled down to the ordinary now that the final accounts for last year is closed which feels great! I'm so happy that all went well.

Thursday I was secretary at my local Rheumatic association and it was lovely to see everyone again. I don't have time to attend their board meetings. That would be too much for me. I have to think of my health first. But it was very nice and we had Chris "Keno" Holm, our house troubador sing for us before and after the meeting. And we did singalong as well. Music and singing really makes you feel good. We ought to do that more often. 
 Starter: Skagenrora on a toast with avocado, yummie
 Main course: Potatoes dauphinoise, tenderloin and sallat, yumm-yummy
 Danniel and Emil (Danniel is looking at Jonas)
Dessert: Strawberry cake
 All three brothers in one photo is rare but warms a mother's heart.

Then yesterday we went to Danniel to celebrate his birthday and it was so nice to see all three brothers together. It's not often we can gather the whole family.
Danniel had made delicious food and while he and I prepared the food the other ones saw Sweden take a silver medal in the Olympic icehockey.

Speaking of the Olympics. I think Sweden did great. We took a whole bunch of medals and especially considering we are such a small country I think it's good.
But of course we do have the advantage of snow, cold weather and Vasaloppet :-). Vasaloppet which takes place this Sunday :-)

Have a great week everyone and take care!

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 ...
