We sure take care of history - this is a 41 year old one

Currently played it back in use, the 41-year old stroller from 1969 - it is suddenly needed again, and father Bengt must once again set up, lucky that we had the stroller long-stored with us. That is what we call reuse! The stroller from last generation is still fine and usable. It is a great story!

Summer heat continues in Hörnefors - we will go home for a few days, we are back next week

The family Slettvoll by Bjørnar & Bente, and family Knædal by Per Arne, Hilde and Amalie, visited us here in Trollstigen from Wednesday, and we had a very pleasant time here. The weather was obviously very good, as usual, and there was a strong focus on food, cooking, barbecue and the good life! That's the way we want it for the holidays. A little trip to Megrunnen to swim, and some store visits in Umeå in the heat There was enjoying the excellent caravan to park outside on the lawn, and the living area increased significantly. It was suggested that perhaps we got help when we are with paneling and replacing of windows in the house, built in 1958. Volunteer, or "Dugnad", is a typical Norwegian phenomenon, and a pleasant form of social life. However, it good to have visitors, and next week will Marielle and Marcus with Emil come and stay here for 4 weeks this summer.

Riding the bike in Hörnefors - another great summerday

We had a nice day today, clearing the garage, a quick trip to Nordmaling, my birthplace, and eventually we took a bike ride in the evening, to the wind turbines nearby, there are 11 all in all, and they are huge when you are close.We saw the new Botnia Line, which can take us to the 30 km to Umeå in 8 minutes! We also saw that the old earth cellars were preserved from development, and Inga & Bror would probably like to see this happen. The new bridge is going to be ready in August. So Elizabeth found some special stones, which she took home. Now it is just before we get us a rain drop, perhaps. Netherlands moved on in the World Cup, while we were out and trimmed.

It is "ferietid" - Sweden - and summertime!

We're back in Sweden after a quick trip home. Here the sun shines, and the heat is ok, when we arrived last night, Elisabeth found ripe strawberriest after a lap around the house. Now our own strawberry field, soon going to give us even more yield! I have seen on the bus to Tore, it is finished decorated with a particular subject, and Tore took the time to a coffee with strawberries at home in Trollstigen. I met Malin and her husband Benny, and we talked a long time with Veronika & family, later on SKYPE, then we got the information from the Saltdal that Jorunn had become worse. We have contacted everyone. We plan to be out here a week, and we expect Bente & Bjørnar and family Knædal visit us.
