Barcelona. I knew as I watched the city go by from the windows of the bus coming from the airport that I was going to like it. Beautiful architecture, many people bustling about, shops everywhere, warm sunny weather. By the end of the first evening, I loved the city.

We got up early one day to drive up to St. Peter-Ordling, a seaside town on the North Sea where many people go for vacation or to relax.

Arriving in Hamburg, Germany
After the long flight over to Germany, and the months of looking forward to this trip, I waited for my luggage at the baggage claim in the Hamburg airport, while watching a BMW commercial on the TV.

The Classic Cold After the Holidays
I’ve been so busy the past few weeks, going to so many get-togethers. It was all fun but tiring! So I got the classic cold a few days after Christmas.

I like Christmas. I like the Christmas lights, Christmas trees with ornaments, snow (except for the shoveling), cookies, treats, parties, etc. It is all fun, but it goes by so quickly and can be so exhausting sometimes! I had a little Christmas gathering this weekend, making my Swedish rice pudding, BBQ meatballs, Christmas cookies, andContinue reading “Almost Christmas”
