My children have teased me that I love our new hospital and should become a patient there. Last Sunday, I returned home after an intensive week in Copenhagen. I was so thankful for running around everywhere with my grandchildren and running many 10K and Half Marathons even though my age goes upward every day. A week ago, I experienced a […]
In the house, so much seemed alive as quotes written on the walls were meant to encourage the children to remember to behave. My favourite was: Be well-behaved and happy; then you will solve the riddle of life! In Swedish, it rhymes.

I find his style both classic, beautiful and modern at the same time and would love to go back to the United States and find many more of his paintings
I want to thank my readers for following me. A few days ago, I received the 1000+ followers logo. Six years ago, when I started blogging, I saw that bloggers celebrated that achievement.
