Catching up

It's been a challenging few days with an off and on fever, cough and headache though I couldn't be better cared for than I am here. We went on a short but picturesque hike on Thursday and ended at Per and Karin's fabod where we picked wild flowers for the maypole and had a nice lunch and relaxing afternoon. I decided to skip the maypole preparations at the museum that evening and instead got to see a new calf that was born on Thursday. Seeing Mats with his cattle is so sweet as they run to him. The new calf hadn't started nursing so he bottle fed her and eventually got her started nursing.









I slept about 18 hours Thursday into Friday but I felt good to go to the village midsommer celebration where Roger helped to raise the maypole. If you know Roger at all, this was a surprise as he doesn't Iike being the center of attention but he had a great time and has a new appreciation for the effort that goes into raising the pole. It takes about 45 minutes.















We ended the evening with pizza at the bagarstuga (bake house). It's a wonderful non-traditional midsommer dinner with delicious pizza.










Today Roger went to the church boat races where Magnus is competing followed by dinner at Sara and Lars' home. I opted out of the races due to the cold windy weather.

More special memories. :-)
