Hello all!
It is time for me to get back to my old routine: writing a bit in English every Tuesday.
However, today it will be mostly pics. I will give a so called "picture bomb". The pictures I am about to show you are all taken around our summerhouse in Närpes, Finland.
Yes, you probably all know by now that I think of that place as the best place on earth.
Skären- "the skerries"- is a place where you can REALLY kick back, be yourself, be with family. The laughs are plentiful, since we all love to joke around. The food is top notch, since we like to cook. The drinks are good. The card games are fantastic, since we all like to play cards!
The NIGHTS are light!
Actually, it never really gets dark in May, June and July.
Come along and have a look yourself!
July 19 is the name day (Sweden) for all the girls named Sara, so naturally we are celebrating my sister! She got a cake, some gifts and later on that day her hubby Håkan cooked dinner for all of us.
My mom and my grandma, Signhild.
Sara, the nameday girl herself.
Håkan's home made ice cream, the blueberries are from our own back yard.
Ebba and Karolina, cousins and best friends.
This is how it looks.
Out on a boat ride.
The eastern side of the island of Grytskär. Grytskär is a big island that is located very close to us. We took a little day trip to said island.
Grytskär is quite wide and it takes about 30-40 minutes to walk over to its western side and the open sea. This day it was SUPER HOT, I would think around 31 degrees C, around 90 F.
After a HOT, long walk we finally had reached Krok-huset, the Krok house. The house is a house that is open for all, and you can go in there, write in the guest book. If you want to you can even spend the night there...
But we continued west, and got to this...
...The western side of Grytskär, next stop if you were to take a boat over is Sweden...
The gang is arriving!
And, it felt so incredible good to swim in the water after the long, and hot walk, over...
Ah, but now I will end this little "bomb". I will continue the story about Grytskär later on this week...

Har du kant av jordbavningen? Jag ar lite orolig nu. :o(
STORA KRAMAR!
Skriver om detta imorrn. Men, jag kan säga att det är bland det otäckaste jag varit med om. DOCK, inga skador på hus, och ingen människa är skadad, vad jag vet...
Mineral ligger ca 2-3 h söderut från oss..
Kram och tack!! Gissa vad morgondagens blogg kommer at handla om!
Sen säger jag om dina bilder. De utstrålar sommar gemenskap kärlek och värme.
Åhh sån tur du skrivit jag tänkte ropa" Annika hur är det med er". SÅ hemskt att bara läsa om. Uppleva det så som hos er. NEJTACK. Minns ett skalv som skrämde mig mycket och då låg det ändå i havet. Ljudet. Underifrån. Me not like.
Stor Kram

Nu har jag skrivit om skalvet... Kunde inte vänta tills imorrn.

Känner mig helt skakad fortfarande.
Tack, ja nog var det en fin sommar.
Tackar å min mammas vägnar!!
Kramar!!!
Och huggies!
Men vad glad jag blir!!
Jättestort tack, Anna!!
Massor av huggies från mig som fortfarande är uppskakad till max...
Jag förstår att du är skakad...det är verkligen märligt att det hände, här på östkusten!
Hoppas det blir en lugn kväll.
Kramar!
TACK min snälla vän!!
BLIR så glad!!
Ja, nog var det en egendomlig upplevelse, och en stark sådan. VILL aldrig vara med om detta igen.
Kvällen var lugn, de eferskalv som kommit har ännu inte känts av här.
Kramar!!
ja, jättemysigt med bägge!!
