Weekend and a few thoughts.

Good morning Tuesday people!

Did the weekend treat you good?

I hope so.

We have had a good one. Yes, we did hang out on the deck for hours Friday night.

But, when it was time for dinner we had to go inside to eat. It was simply too hot outside. And I don’t know if you all agree, but I think it is kind of gross to eat outside when the heat and humidity are gruesome.

 

Saturday, we took a walk to a new restaurant, Toastique, yes they serve toasts.

I was not impressed in the slightest. So, there will be no more visits to that place. Nope and nope.

 

My toast, so not special.  And 17 bucks for a slice of bread.  PLEASE!!

Peter's avocade toast with a poached egg, not worth the price either.

In the evening, we celebrated the birthday boy, Pete, who turned 86.

What a guy! He’s really enjoying life, so vital and he’s is so interested in leaning more all the time. GOALS!

I made pulled pork and a beans salsa, the other “kids” brought cole slaw, buns, baked beans, potato salad and lemon meringue pie, so good.

Pete was very pleased with everything.

Peter’s and mine gift to him is an overnight stay at the island of Saint Michael’s in August. Saint Michael’s is located in the Chesapeake Bay, so it will be a fishing and seafood weekend.

No fishing for me, though. I have zero interest, haha!!

My brothers, Peter and my brother-in-law, Håkan, are CRAZY about fishing. Me? I could not care less. But I am glad that Peter and Pete will cast while we’re on the island. I can hang on the beach, works for me. 

And of course, it was The National Day of Sweden as well. Or Sweden Day.

Sweden, my beloved home country. Since this is a fairly new holiday I have no traditions surrounding it. But, I did put my Swedish flag on the table and I thought about how much I’ll miss not seeing this lovely country this summer.

 

The weeks are flying by. It is only about three weeks left until Karolina gets here for her first fitting.

But right now Karolina and Mike are in London.

Tomorrow, they are heading to Scotland for a wedding.

One of Karolina’s best friends from Middle and High school, Sophie, is getting married. No, not to a Scottish fella, she’s marrying a guy from Boston. But, Sophie’s dad is from Scotland. So the couple choose to get married there. And sooo many of Karolina’s friends from high school are attending this wedding.

It’ll be so fun for all of them. Like a true reunion.

A destination wedding if it ever was one, 130 guests. THAT is pretty damn good for a wedding that people have to cross the Atlantic Ocean for. I cannot wait to see the pics.

I know Sophie so well, she’ll make a beautiful bride.

Well, have a good Tuesday y’all!!
