In Sweden
We have been in Orsa, Sweden for 2 days now and I think we might have gained 10 pounds each...at least. Here is a family portrait...Lili, Ake, Kerstin, Don, Nils, Karen Alan. Ake is my cousin on my father's side & is married to Lili, a woman who cooks up a storm. We have had 3 squares plus "kaffe och bulle" (coffee and pastries) each day and now my pants fit a little more snugly. We have even had moose (hunted by Ake) and horse meat at some meals. Kerstin is another cousin who lived with Karen's family for a time in the 60's. We will really miss the delicious food when we move on. **Kerstin O. and Bibi - I am sending mesmor in a tube, and Salubrin spray, along with some Lackerol and one tube of Senaps mustard as soon as I can get to a post office. *** KRL - I missed sending the postcard from Ireland; maybe I can get it sent this week from Sweden or Amsterdam. Ake and Lili have been so good to us. We hope to find some Svensson family (Karen's moms side) tomorrow. I will hope to post from Stockholm next. It is so good to be with family here; I wish we could stay much longer. But now we are in touch and hope to have lots more visits in the future. Bye for now. ~K
P.S. Keep the comments coming - we really enjoy them!!

AW! tell Alan I miss him a whole lot, and I miss the rest of you a whole lot too. Glad you're all having a good time!
love,

Okay - what happened to my last comment?!! @#$% computers!
As I said yesterday - I should have warned you about the 'kaffe och bulle'. Makes a British high tea look like a Weight Watchers meeting. Whipped cream, pastries, cakes, etc. Yummmm...
Ingrid and I will look for your care package. My licking spoon is warmed up and ready. Can't wait!
Looks to be a bit friendlier setting than the rather imposing Irish castle! Happy to hear you all are having fun. Karen, I watched "N.L.'s European Vacation" in your honor the other day . . . glad you ended up with the correct relatives, at the correct house. :)
Forgot to have you ask Ake if he's seen any wolves.That is the area of Sweden that they've returned to and are eating moose.
Did you get a chance to see grandpa's place?Hope you got some pictures.
I'm now all done with treatments and just need to see docs.
