Just some random thoughts about different things + a weekend update!

Good morning Tuesday!


I hope you all had a good weekend.

My weekend was good.
AND, warm!
Let me tell you, the weather we are having right now is UN-believable. I don’t even know what to say?
Or what to think about it.
As usual I try to play the cards to my favor.
If you get almost a week of spring like weather (20C/ 68F) you might as well enjoy it. It is what it is anyway, right?
So, why not sit on your deck? Or take a long walk?
Or not use a jacket. At all?
Spring in February, that is what we are experiencing in my neck of the woods as I write this.


Yesterday was a federal holiday here in the US, President’s Day. Historically we’ve been slammed by big snow storms around Prez Day. This is not the case this year.

Pretty soon it is time for the daffodils to bloom!

Blue February skies.

Peter and I went to a luncheon on Saturday. The hostess had all her doors opened so a nice cross wind blew thru the house. It felt like April.
Sunday, I went to an Instagram-meet- up here in Reston. It was SO warm. We were all sitting outside enjoying our coffee and small talk as we introduced ourselves to one another. A very fun meet-up.
We have already decided to get together again soon.

Reston instagrammers!

A fantastic afternoon by Lake Anne.

@funinfairfax is photographing.  

Yes, it is a strange winter in my corner of the world.
A strange, strange,  strange one.
But, as I stated above, you have to play your cards right and just deal with the hand you have been given.

A golf course selfie yesterday!

Spring is almost here.

And, how about The POTUS? Also known as Don-John Trumpster …
Did you Swedes wonder about the terror attack that apparently happened on Friday in Sweden?
What a joke of a dangerous president we have in this great country. I am just flabbergasted over the words he tweets, and the words that come out of his mouth. And, I am just “taken aback” of his entire admininstration.
Sorry, one can not keep quiet when it comes to this man, and his cabinet.
Where is this going to end for the US?
One will have to see.
We were joking about the Swedish terror attack at the Insta-get-together, too. One of the participants used to be high up in the CIA, and another one works for another big security agency. They both said that they had never experienced anything like this (This kind of cabinet, that is) during all their years “in the government”. Yup, I totally believe them.

As I just said, yesterday was President’s Day, It was also a day when many, many went out to demonstrate in marches all over the US, those marches were called “NOT my president”. I did not go. I did not even know about them until yesterday. I guess I must have been blind and deaf, or something, but this movement went right over my head ... But A LOT of people DID demonstrate  against the new administration. I applaud them all. I wish I had known.
I found some great pics on Instagram.



You have got to watch this funny, funny video!!

Yes, and then I stumbled upon this online!!  HAHAHA!

My Instagram friend (and fellow Swede) @newyorkbo went to the demonstration in New York City yesterday.  I think these pics ARE priceless.  Thanks Viktoria for letting me show your pics!!

Well, it is another warm day in my neck of the woods.
February? Naaah.
Try April instead.

Have a good one.
