We had a fun Halloween Those of you who know me, know that I don’t really like Halloween, but last year and this year I allowed them to go trick or treating but we only did our neighborhood, which ended up taking 2.5hrs and they got GOOD candy! ha ha Sonja crocheted a hat for …
We ended up having a birthday WEEKEND for Solveig! Of course we made Danish Layer Cake and we actually made another one because her sculpture teacher at Meredith has the same birthday, so Solveig wanted to bring her a cake too and share with the class, then she also brought a quilt for her and …
My oldest daughter Solveig is 20 today, she’s artsy fartsy and a great big sister, a good student- a senior at Meredith College. She’s majoring in Psychology and Minoring in Studio arts at Meredith, and next semester it’s going to be all art classes! She’s really done some soul searching and found that she doesn’t …
Last weekend we went to the beach for a few days to get some vitamin SEA and some nice rest and relaxation! The weather was nice, in the afternoon we were actually able to go into the water, we didn’t expect that in October and hadn’t packed swimsuits, but Dan, Bjorn and I went in …
Grandpa passed away Wednesday morning, 11 days after Grandma….He was right, when they lived at our house back in May and she was not well, he told her, she lived a good long life and whenever she’d die, he’d die soon after that… and he did! It was kind of odd this time, Monday morning …

And with grandpa …

What a week, my in laws are not doing well at all. Grandma is near the end for sure, she hasn’t eaten or drank anything since last Sunday, she can’t sit up in bed or get out of it, she isn’t even whining or crying anymore, no sounds at all except maybe a slight murmur! …
Sickness is still lingering in the house! Grandparents are still somewhat ok, thanks for those of you reaching out to me/us! I’ve kind of taken a backseat on all of this, Dan is there on weekends and Renee our CNA is there Monday afternoon to Friday afternoon. One tells me everything, the other tells me …
