Trollstigen - today we have been married in 39 yrs - and my Nissan, (The Car), took a rest.

We have had an eventful day here in Trollstigen, we were up to Umeå and cut some hair, when we got 1 km along the E4, stopped my amazing Nissan Laurel without notice. Marcus came and we towed the car back to the troll 4, here is the car now and waiting for action! I have contacted many friends and experts on diesel pumps, and we also look at other solutions. Marcus and Marielle went to a wedding, and Emil and I went to the fabulous beach house, heated pool for large and small. It was a nice bike ride, I see many bicycle tours in the near future. May have to fill out a lottery coupon tonight. The weather will continue with almost 30 and clear sun - water. Happy anniversary!

Holidays and heat is on in Trollstigen Sweden

Now we are back in the holiday country Sweden. Many activities, and Emil enjoys the company of neighborhood kids. Strawberries was the first thing today, they found a lot in Elisabeth's garden. Arvid, Emil and Mathias played well today, they had set up tents in the garden and the trampoline was used widely in the sun. Water was the big first day, but it dried quickly in the wind and sun. Before dinner there was a bike ride to the store where we shopped, and we shall have the salmon a la Per Arne today, over the grill. I visited Ragnar, he was installing new heating system, after drilling 180 meter down, he will have a great and modern heating system for his house.

I was visiting Tverlia yesterday - Tverlia is a nice spot!

I could not resist the temptation to take a panoramic photo from Tverlia, it was not so many "Tractoreggs" to see yet, so the moment was right. Throughout my childhood I have had this great view of the fjord and mountains in Skjerstad municipality. Now the municipality has become part of Bodø, and the outskirts are becoming more and more pronounced! It's really a shame! (I think you can see the nice photo if you click on the picture..) It is not far from Saltstraumen.

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.
