Åseda
This week I had an adventure with my cousin Christina and her daughter Vicki. I drove us to Åseda so they could see where she and I had spent time with our grandmother. It was a nice day to travel until we got to Växjö where it rained but it didn’t last long enough to…

Fear
This week I have been pushing through fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of not being or becoming who I am supposed to be. Fear of what lies ahead, fear of so many things. Many of you have said I am brave and have accomplished so much in my adventure in life. I have not…

Fall weather
Fall is here with similar weather to Washington state. Rain and sun mix with mild temperatures. It occurred to me I have never experienced a Fall here. I have never seen the trees change colors. I have been here in November and into the other months at times but never the fall months. I am…

Crayfish Party
I have been lucky enough to make some really great friends here in the Southern part of Sweden. This past Saturday I was invited to a housewarming/Crayfish party for one of those friends. It was so much fun. Everyone brought their own food to eat and she provided beverages, music, and a whole lot of…

I did a thing
Gustav Adolfs Torg in Malmö is an interesting place just now. They still have fruits and veggies but it has become a hub for all the political parties to hand out their information. Voting occurs every 4 years and this year is it. So political parties have set up a place where you can go…
