Very nice Sunday



I had a wonderful Sunday with my family celebrating two birthdays.
Tomorrow it's Hasse's birthday and in 11 days it's Jonas birthday. Since nor me nor Jonas will be home for his birthday I decided we should celebrate them both today.

So all three boys were here and also Jonas significant other Mandy were able to come. It's so nice to gather them all. 

I had made lunch which was tortilla rolls with filling of tenderloin of pork. I served a good salat with lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, cucumber and mango. And of course guacomole (home made of course).

For dessert I had made, yesterday already, ice cream which was very tasty.
Danniel had baked cookies of shredded coconut and with chocolate topping.
Yummie!

They have all left now and I have started planning what to pack for LA. I work tomorrow and Tuesday and then on Wednesday I'm off so high time to start planning :-)

I'm so looking forward to meeting my sister and the whole family. Since we live so far from each other it's not that often we have the possibility to meet face to face but thanks to this blog, Facebook and other social media we can stay in touch :-) 


 From the first time we met in 2005 :-)

This year 2014 it's actually 10 years since we get in contact. I can't believe it has already been 10 years. We should celebrate really :-)
Remember the first visit I made to LA and La Mirada in March 2005. It was so exciting and of course nervous and I was so curious to meet her and her family. They all greated me with such warmth and I really felt welcomed into the family.

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 ...
