4th of July

First of all I wish all of you my family and friends and readers from the USA a happy 4th of July!

 I'm sorry I haven't written for so long but I have been on holiday in Gotland and we have almost no internet connection there :-( Sometimes we get throgh but only for short periods which means I can't write my blog only make comments on Facebook.

 We did have a wonderful time in Gotland. When we arrived it was a thunder storm but the rest of the time we were there we had sunshine even if it was cold when we were out of the sun. But we had the best weather in Sweden anyway because there were rain- thunder- and halestorms as well as some tornados (which is rare for Sweden) and we had sunshine :-) 
Visby harbor

 Most of the time we rested, just relaxed around the house but we also did some excursions. Like me and Emil went to Visby on our Mother-Son Day, something I have every summer with each and every one of my sons. It's a nice tradition and you get to talk to them more deeply about them, their lives and so on. I really appreciate the time I spend with them.

 This week I worked as usual but had a lot to do before I'm off on my second (or should I say third since I was in LA in April) vacation. Now I have 3 weeks off and I haven't planned any long trips.

 Tomorrow we will go to Svardsjo to visit Gunilla and Per and to attend a singalong with Lasse Berghagen. That will be fun. We will stay over night and go home on Sunday.

 Next week I will go to Malmo, Scania, to visit my Mom's cousin Kerstin and I will stay for three days. That will also be so nice and precious since I haven't seen her for a long time.

 The week after that Hasse and I will go to our favorite hotel here in Stockholm, Elite Marina Tower,, and stay for three days.

 Then I have Mother-Son day with Danniel and Jonas the following week before going to S:t Anna in Ostergotland for a concert in St Anna church with two of my favorite artists Peter Johansson and Matilda Grün. I will stay overnight at St Anna garden with my friend.

 Then it's home and work again Monday 28th. Summer passes so fast doesn't it?

 Speaking of Jonas. He's the hardest to get a day with. Today for instance they are going to Barcelona to play on a big festival there. 
They have had so many gigs this spring and summer and I'm so happy for them. It's so well deserved!

Take care and have a lovely vacation (you who have that) I hope you will have a great summer. I will try to write but I can't promise anything ;-)

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 ...
