... Piano Accordian. For someone who hadn't played in 10 years she did amazingly well. Her brother also played an instrument. It was a violin cross piano cross guitar thing, weird but it sounded really good. It's called a .... Stina has a pet dog called Muchi (little cookie in Japanese) and she's a black labrador. She also has two cats one of which had kittens recently, a ginger and white one and the other was tortieshell. Again, damn customs!

... Along the way we stopped at Ikea for lunch. Sanja and i were going to order our ow meals but our attepmts at learning the Swedish failed miserably but much to the ammusement of the lady behind us in line and the guy who served us. Tiu kett bullar tack! ( 10 swedish meatballs thanks) Later that night we went out clubbing again with Maria, Stina, Louice, Albin and Sarah. This time to a club called Måndags klubben ( Monday's club) in Vadstena ( a small town in the middle of ...

... isolation, are very knowledgeable about what is happening in our Church world and have lots of things to talk about. Finally, we end our last night in Sweden and this trip. It's been a great trip. We go to sleep about the time the Super Bowl is about to begin. Be sure to come back and see each of the entries with photos....will add photos as soon as I get back to the USA.

Day 3 was our last day and we had to get up really early for a bus at around 5 in the morning. We then had hours to kill before our flight home. On the flight we were just leaving when someone was taking ill so we had to go back and unload them, they were taken off in an ambulance.

We spent the second day just chilling out and looking around the town (not much to see in winter) before heading to a sports bar for dinner and then to the concert.

The concert was amazing and afterwards we went to the stage door. After waiting ages we were told that Kerry and Mazz had gone out the front door so we ran round the front, highly embarassing as it was a glass building so Mazz saw us run round.

... playing random games. It was a bit of a worry that our bus had a huge crack down the windscreen though. However, when we got there Laura left her bag on the bus so we had to run after it. Thankfully someone on the bus saw us and got the driver to stop.

... one-year old daughter Erin Louise Viktoria Kira Spenser. It's going to be a family affair with Kira's parents two brother, their spouses and children present. All was set for the evening. The living/dining room area was set up with chairs. Kira's brother Markus brought over a keyboard and we had a few hymns before the blessing. We sang hymns whose melodies were familiar to the Swedes. About 6:00 we started by singing hymns "Praise Ye the Lord the Almighty" and "Seek Ye First." I ...

... Central train station. From there a train to Mjolby where Paul and Kira live. We were in Mjolby by 6:15 PM. It was great to see Paul, Kira, sons Isak and Aaron and daughter Viktoria! We had dinner and talked till midnight. This is my third visit to the Spenser's, the first in the winter. Solveig Hammar called from Stockholm and both Bev and I talked to her. She will be leaving for San Antonio, Texas in a few weeks where she normally winters. We ...

... cow was given a tissue to wipe up the tears of joy she cried from all the excitement. Competition was tough, with many cows enduring the parading around the ring to appropriate 'cow parading mood music'. The owners primped and primed their cows, making sure there weren't any extra 'spots' on the backside. Some observers even brought their own ...

... kids. I was a good guest by eating more crawfish than anyone else at the party. Stupid of me for bringing up the idea to count. Afterwards I learned that taking off the label from my kosta boda plate is considered taboo in Sweden. It was a hush hush discussion until Stacy mentioned this loud enough for the entire table to hear.
