LOOK UP TO THE SKIES AND SEE

I can hear thunder in the distance and it’s dripping a bit of rain, though it’s going to have to be quite a bit more before I can leave off watering the vegetables today. I was planning to go walking with Lisel at 5 but we’ve cancelled, which is a bummer. Apparently, the summer weather that’s been non-stop since beginning of May is finally coming to an end and we can expect rain and thunderstorms this week. I wonder if we’ll have the same all the way up north or not. Looks like Karin is getting rained on in her...

READY, SET, GO

Today’s my first day of vacation, though it’s actually a day off because it’s a holiday here in Sweden: Midsummer Eve. Tomorrow is Midsummer Day, which is a bit weird because the actual summer solstice was 2 days ago on Wednesday, June 21.

Even though we’ll be gone for most of it, I’m still looking forward to not working.

27 YEARS AND COUNTING

It’s our wedding anniversary today. We’ve been married since June 1, 1996. That’s 27 years. Pretty crazy to think about! We aren’t doing anything today, celebrating, or having dinner, or anything, because Anders is away all week up north in Kumla. He comes home tomorrow, but I already have plans for dinner and a show with Debbie and Camilla. It’s also Debbie’s birthday today. Her husband is ALSO traveling, and I just sent her a text asking her why the two of us didn’t get together and do something, which she laughed at. We don’t usually do much for our...
