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 ;-)

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.

Hello December

This month started with a tax education, yeah :-) in Uppsala. Since we don't have a goverment yet due to the chaotic political scene after the election, no one actually knows what's going to happen with taxes. It's just guesses. The day after we had Christmas celebration at the Rheumatic district of Stockholm. It was a lot of fun, good food and nice to meet everyone :-) And on Saturday it was time for Christmas lunch with my own Rheumatic local association. We were around 30 members incl. Eddie and Mandy. We had a lot of good food and we had the party at a local hotel here in Väsby in Bredden. There were two other children there so I bought them each a Christmas gift and they were very happy for what they got from the Rheumatic Santa Claus.

Friends, musical and sick

On Saturday we had our good friends over for lunch. Since she doesn't eat gluten I made Swedish hamburgers glutenfree which means I didn't have any breadcrumbs in it but instead egg and cream and of course seasoning. They were delicious. I served roasted sweet potatoe and Jerusalem artichoke to that and also a gorgeous sallad, if I may say so myself. For dessert and coffee I made a Pavlova but also included crusched Daim (a good chocolate). We sat for several hours talking about what had been going on, how we were and how our children and grandchildren are. Because of their illness we haven't been able to meet so much this year so we had a lot of catching up to do. It's so nice with good friends. You don't have to say that much, nor explain because we understand. We have been friends now for 34 years so a very long time. We also laugh a lot when we meet. All in all a wonderful afternoon. Work as usual Monday. On Tuesday I started feeling "funny...
