Yesterday

So - Jannicke did arrive together with Toril and Embla had longed for Toril - and Toril had longed for Embla also! But before that we went out in the morning in the drizzling rain to pick blueberries for the dessert.

We did not find so many.....

Yesterday - not as exiting as the day before - but still a wonderful day. Embla started with fishing, then we took our Buster to the restaurant at Idö.

A very happy Embla fishing again

 Back again at Solhäll Embla had a "horse run" in the garden and then watering all my flowers with very good help of her Grandmother Anki!

Nice horse - and a beautiful child

Wednesday afternoon Jannicke's parents in law drow to Solhäll bringing also our oldest grandchild Embla. We had a nice late afternoon in the sun. Brave Embla also did swim in icecold water - 16 degrees.

Enjoying the Swedish summer

A new day - Embla going swimming - not the Grandmothers!

Coming to the beach we met this beaufiful swan family

Embla - she could not resist the water - swimming again...

We lost a "paddle" and Anki and Embla are trying to pick it up

And Anki did her utmost

And so did Embla - and we managed!

Embla fishing with good fishing luck

And finally dinner at the veranda...

Walking around Gränsö / Farewel party and Good Bye!

Saturday morning Sue, Steve and Sven took a walk around the island of Gränsö in sunny weather. It is so green around Solhäll!

Sue and Steve somewhere at Gränsö

In the afternoon we decided to take a tour with our boat "Majsan" around our island - and then suddenly the motor "died" so Sven had to row our boat to the nearest pontoon - where we left the boat and once again walked through the woods for Sven and Steve to pick up "Buster" to pick up "Majsan"...

Sven rowing "Majsan" - and he is really good at that!

Finally we came ashore at unknown friends pontoon...

A love walk....

And so did Sue and Sven think

Last evening together this time

And Steve seems to like the Swedish strawberries

Sunday morning we went to Hotel Prison - as of the name - a former prisoner

And we say Good Bye to Sue and Steve

Friday the 20th of MIDSOMMAR

Sue and I did start our Swedish Midsommar collecting flowers to our celebration to the Swedish summer. I will not write many words because the pictures will tell the story!

The 19th of June 2014

A quite normal day here at Solhäll - starting with breakfast - strolling around in Västervik, visiting a beautiful church - having lunch during the heaviest rain we ever had here and in the late afternoon Steve had to help Sven cutting the wood for our open fire...
 

I light candles for my Mother and Father in St. Gertrud's Church

And Steve had to work for the food!

A loving couple!

Waiting for the food!
