Yesterday we visited the French bulldog puppies. And OH-MI-GAWD. How can anyone NOT think these are the stinking cutest creatures eh-vah? I promise not to become a crazy dog lady or let this blog become all about French bulldogs but I could not resist posting these pics of them at a week old….The critters are [...]

Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone, but we know a guy who has a cousin who knows someone else who got us into this A.M.A.Z.I.N.G warehouse (read: not open to the public and or for sale in this country) stuffed to the gills with gorgeous antiques.
Now, those who know me and have been to any of my [...]

Seriously. How could anyone think this looks attractive enough to stick in your mouth?
I snapped this prized winning pic the other day while out running errands. The country is littered with these hot dog stands. They are in supermarkets, malls, gas stations, street corners, and pedestrian shopping streets. I just can’t believe someone in their [...]
Sunday Night

Even though it was a busy Sunday (Fattie’s grandmother turned 98 and we had a very yummy family dinner at my in-laws in her honor) I managed to sneak in a quick jaunt this evening.
Luckily for me, one of the grocery stores I frequent is located directly on the lake, so a shopping trip to [...]

I noticed this joker on my way to the grocery store today.
He was hanging out with some of his friends and I thought it was some sort of bison - yeah, I know – shows my country ignorance, huh? Later in the evening chewing on a tasty dinner at Fattie’s parents place, I mentioned I had run into [...]

We had an amazing time in Costa del Sol…..
We were able to soak up some rays but now back in Sweden I feel my tan fading by the minute. Here are some pictures from the girls trip last week over the Easter break combined with a holiday in July ‘07 where Fattie and I also [...]

The air here is filled with the aroma of spring and the landscape is diligently following right along as it loyally does each and every season.
Apparently, the trusted Swedes inform me, it’s rare to see these gorgeous sights of spring cropping up in these parts of Sweden so early in the year.
In March of [...]

Wow….What an amazing trip!
Italy for Valentines Day? Yup. A ski holiday I would have only dreamt about last year. Truly a one of a kind gift. Thanks Fattie!
Obviously, one of the great benefits of living in Europe is how easily you can hop from country to country. So a quick flight to Milan along [...]

How lucky am I? A trip to Italy!
It was supposed to be a surprise combo Valentines/birthday gift from Fattie but he just couldn’t keep his lips sealed. He spilled it. And I’m thrilled. What a good boy.
Wearing stilettos on the farm
A city girl from the states falls in love while working her 9-5 in Holland and wakes up to find herself living on a golf course in the Swedish countryside.
