My cousins, older sister and I are traveling to Sweden this summer. We are reaching beyond our immaginations and seeking out our Grandpa's relatives and we will stand on Grandpa's homeland.
I have written letters, sent some emails and made
some connections. Our adventure is sketched out on a map that my cousin from Sweden gave me. We have names of certain people written on their home towns. I finger the folded map book and trace our destinations. How will I really get from here to there?
There is a small band of us sisters approaching the motherland!! I hope my emails haven't come as warnings but are being received with great anticipation. Do they wonder about their loved ones that left Sweden for America?
I have many of these postcards! What does this card say? A treasured word from back home.
Ragunda, My Grandpa's home. I can't wait to see Ragunda!
In my heart, I hope to return to Sweden even before I get there once.
Remi loves to have his picture taken but he only promised me 1 1/2 shots!! Yikes!! I need practice and that's not enough. So I got a few of him and now he can FB more cute pictures of himself!!
My sweet neice, Dani! She is a natural in front of the camera and tolerates all I ask of her. She is sitting under a tree in prickly pine needles. She is texting while I fuss with my camera settings. I still am doing things the hardway. Reading the manual is on my "should do" list.
Joan and I hiked along county road 37. This barn must of been a beauty in it's day!
Forsythia!
