Visit from the US

Monday evening

we had our first visitor from the US.

 

She left her cruise ship in Copenhagen

and spent a few hours with us

touring downtown Malmö.

 

 

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.

Moving

Thursday 08/09

was the day for our departure.

William's friends came to the airport to say goodbye,

but they looked as happy as ever

until I mentioned the smile on their faces. 

Emily and Spöket were waiting in their new bags

and were very calm and quite in the cabin
during the entire journey.

My brother picked us up at the airport in Denmark

and drove us over the bridge to Sweden.

He drove us to the apartment that we are sub-renting and

Charlene was waiting for us.

Emily found a nice spot in the windowsill.
