Grattis bloggen!

Du fyller 1 år idag.

Red nose and mobile phones.

A "tell all" update from the ice & snow will come soon....









But first I am dying to do what Cissi has done on her blog. Rikke, Linda, Emma & Sofielos- I dare you to grab your mobile phone and start checking your contacts out. Let's see what's in mine...












Did you kiss number 7? God no!

Do you hang out with number 19? Every 5 weeks. Da' hairdresser.

Do you like number 26? Like and like. Da' house doctor.

Is number 15 your BFF? Yes she is! A far far away friend...Hong Kong :o((

Is number 11 a sweetheart? Well. In a way. It's a good restaurant.

Do you love number 10? Eeeh, no. Work related.

Is number 20 good? She is indeed! Has the best clothing store in the whole wide world AND she is a veery good friend.

Did you meet number 9 this week? Haven't met that spa in far too long.

Did you go to the same school as number 16? Yeah! The School Of Rock.

Do you know if number 31 has a relationship? He does. A rock steady one.

And to spicy it up a bit I added a few bonus questions :o))

Did you enter number 22 in a sober state? Very sober.

Have number 50 received a late night SMS from you? Has he ever!

Did you sleep next to number 32? Another restaurant.

Well girlies, what do you have to say about your contacts? :o))

Done and dusted.

First...


Then...


Now



It's operational. And. We love it!! A few minor details like floor, wall tiles, some more electricity, light and a bit of paint then it is all perfect.

Vermont September 2007

Finally we're back to the calm of New England...

We were not the only ones that have been having problems with trees falling in our garden...

Aren't we on the way...

out to the pier in Well's beach...

Somewhere way in the back is Europe..

Right now, we're just so happy walking on this beach, at this lovely day.

Nothing beats a corn on the cob dinner with this gang.


A super huge thank you to the Vermonters. Every year we think it was the best year, then we come back and that year was even better. It is always such a pleasure to see you all: Fahl's, Sankus' & Blow's. Next time we promise we'll stay longer. Love ya's, Therese & SanderMan

Tips on how to trim a tree.

Hmmm...Is the neighbours tree moving over to us, or am I imagining?

After a little peak over the neighbours fence - it's clear. The tree is definitely on the way over. Via the shed.

The sheriff came around and said this whole leaning thing is 'life threatening' and The Firebrigade was called in to take care of business.

Many different saws, tools and techniques were used.

And down came the big one.

A bit of fine tuning of the trunks and branches.

And we are left with...

...a BIG pile of work. Just in time for the weekend.

If you don't have anything special planned. Come by and chop some wood, why don't you?

Extreme Closet Makeover

Leonardo made his Mona Lisa. I made my closet. Both are masterpieces. In their own time. Have my doubts my piece will be moved to a museum or sold on auction, though. But still.

I am back.

I am a bit behind on blogging to say it mildly...I'll let pix from the past month do all the talkin' folks.

The notorious Queen's Day or Koninginnedag as the Dutch like to call it. Other's would just call it crazy...

Here's one for the Queen! A selection of all the Beatrix:es that came out on this day.

And all the others...


No such thing as too silly on a day like this!





THANKS FOR ANOTHER LOVELY CELEBRATION! SEE YOU BACK NEXT YEAR. I for sure know someone that will come back and beat us all Texas style...Right TLily?


Next event...Long weekend in Sweden together with the Lagcher's.




























Birka ' the Viking Island'

Some of us enjoyed it more than others...Time flies when you're having fun, right luv?




























At Gondolen they serve this cocktail "På Kanelen". First, the one who can give me the recipe will be greatly rewarded. Second, it should be absolutely criminal leaving Stockholm without having one!




If we can't go to Lapland, then Lapland has to come to us - the Absolut IceBar in Stockholm.


Last but not least - breakfast with this special girl - Sofia.











Who brought her 'pytteliten' sister - Julia. And her parents of course.

THANKS FOR A LOVELY TRIP, MAURICE & REBECCA! LET'S DO IT SOON AGAIN. TUSEN TACK TILL MAMMA-MU FÖR LÅNET AV LÄGENHETEN. DIN LILLA SYSTER ÄR PRECIS LIKA SÖT SOM DIG, SOFIAN. HOPPAS VI SES NÄR NI FLYTTAR IN TILL NYA HUSET!
