Johny's big party

There was a big party Friday evening

when Johny celebrated his 50th birthday

with many of his friends

 

That many of his friends shared his interest

in whisky and Scotland

was obvious.

 

Four glasses of whisky from 1963 were presented

 and the color, smell, taste and feel were discussed.

 

Lots of good food

 

was served by the men of the young generation.

 

My nephew's girlfriend played and sang songs

that she has composed herself

 

and William played a fanfare

every time the toastmaster wanted attention.

Birthday for a 7 year old friend

Eyja slept almost the whole time

but here she is smiling.

All of Elias' presents were Star Wars stuff.

I have been so busy ...

I have been really busy last week
so I haven't posted in a while.

Last Saturday we went to a
surprise birthday party

for a 30 year old friend of the family.

We played games in the yard

before we celebrated inside.

Monday we had another birthday party.
Charlene turned 22.

We had a delicious dinner with appetizer, main course,
dessert and coffee with cakes,

that Atli and William had prepared.

Tuesday it was finally time for our things to arrive.

It was terrible, much worse than the days when everything was packed down in Dallas.

I tried to separate out what was going to be stored

and what we should take to the rented apartment,

like this sofa that William and Atli are putting into a small trailer.

The small apartment got so stuffed

ta it felt like I was actually living in the storage.

But the cats thought they had been given a really nice playground.

Today we managed to get the apartment almost straightened up.

I didn't unpack the boxes with paintings

so the walls looked pretty empty,

until William suggested

that I should hang up one of my Stars jerseys

with autographs on a nail that was on the wall over the sofa.
