Finally some rain!

Yesterday was the first day of rain since two months back. Today more rain came. The garden loves it. It was kind of nice too after months of pure sunshine- I just got back home when the sky opened up. Not a good day to sit outside and read a good book, but for snuggling on the couch with a hot chocolate though!


 One of my many books... awesome inspiration!

Father's Day 2012

The first Sunday in September we celebrated Father's Day. Can't believe it's taken me over two weeks to upload photos and write about it... Well, life has been a bit VERY stressful lately. First our computer hard drive decided to stop working and we had to send it away for the documents, photos and home movies to be recovered. Now I hear you all say, didn't you backup everything? Yes, we did... up until last November 2011, when our external hard drive gave up. Just the thought of loosing everything important gave me nightmares and panic attacks. Now I just have to think positive that it's all going to come back and not cost an arm and a leg!

So if these computer issues weren't enough, our beloved Volvo V40T decided to break down on us when we were on our way to pick up Jonah from school in the afternoon. The turbo blew up, white smoke was pouring out of the exhaust and we had no power at all entering the highway. We were crawling! Heaps of cars behind us. They were probably wondering what was happening to such a lovely looking car... We were able to drive very slowly to my in-laws and borrow their car. Finally we ended up at school where Jonah was waiting patiently in the office. He was excited to go in his grandparents car. I was just happy that we hadn't been stranded anywhere and not able to get him.

Anyway, here are some Father's Days pics for everyone to enjoy:





Here's a little preview of my post about Prince Jonah's birthday.
Make sure you come and visit soon!

On the dining room table


Yummy citrus fruit




My favourite transferware!!


My Swedish horses on the window sill 


Old world pink


This is the area we spend most time.
It's close to the TV and close to the kitchen.
I really like that I can easily change runners and other decor
- and instantly get a new look.
Here we have an old pink runner I bought a long, long time ago at a local
flea market in Sweden in the mid 90s, some faux greenery in a pretend milk bottle
and my grandmother's wooden bowl with some citrus fruit.  
A lovely collection of things I like.

Fancy frames

I was around ten when I first noticed I had problems with my eye sight. I had given my big brother a hard time about having to wear glasses, and his reply was... You just wait, you'll have to wear glasses too some day. O'boy, was he right... The normal squinting while watching TV was the first sign. I remember watching a movie and I was lying under the coffee table having huge troubles seeing the subtitles...

My 6 year old son has complained about blurry vision lately. Maybe it's time for him to check his eye sight and get a cool pair of prescription glasses!

When I look back at my first pair of eyeglasses I remember that I sat on them by accident one day and they couldn't be fixed and we had to pay for a new pair.  Back in the 80s when this happened, the choices of eyewear weren't... well, not like today's range of trendy glasses. My new pair had some hot pink on them and I thought they looked fabulous. Thinking back, they were quite hideous lol It was the 80s!! May the fashion never come back - I know, it already has... ;)

Over the years I have had numbers of eyewear. Some have been really cheap eyeglasses and other have been more expensive. It's so much more fun with affordable glasses, don't you think? I love it when you can treat yourself to a few fabulous pairs which you can mix and match with your clothing!

Beautiful light in the night

I'm finally online again thanks to FIL's laptop!
 
Last night I spent three hours catching up on blog parties...
When it was midnight I decided to go to bed!
 
So nice to be back in bloglandia again - felt lost without my computer and internet lol






A cozy spot where I like to sit and relax after a long day with the kids☺
