Well, back from Sweden and raring to go. This trip was.........to say in a very few......or.....ONE WORD...............AWESOME. My luncheon was........as always, the thrilling part of the trip.....but......this year I added a few other ..........."days to remember" I met and was pictured lip singing a song with Deri Rowlands, a singer from Wales and his band........the Dream Team!!!!!
(even though a few of the words happened to..........slip out).
Visited a real castle, the summer home of one of the members of our group
but also having a coffee with a SAS colleague and friend that I met ........oh......perhaps 50 or so years ago and haven't seen in perhaps the last 43 years..........but it was that moment when we each looked at the person we were facing and instantly remembered not only the name of that person but how we met. We then spent the next two and a half hours just talking, sipping a latte and reminiscing about days gone by. Thanks Barbro for waking the Cob webs from days gone by.
Anyway, the trip to Sweden is always fascinating and I must say.......I do look forward ......to those few days each year to be with..........DFG (der four gang) and this group of amazing guys.
Now, Sweden also features another really fun day during the month of June, usually on ..........the longest day of the year........but always celebrated on the closest Saturday, to give you some needed rest before starting back to work. The day is called MIDSOMMAR......(mid-summer) and includes eating, drinking, joking, dancing and lots of friends. I hope this little video will better explain what I mean. We usually attend ........our midsommar party at a good friends house, located on a lake in Federal Way............but does not lack anything from those parties in Sweden. Lots of herring, aquavit, singing and the little surprises one might get for having a blue paper cup or sitting on a green chair with a red dot painted on one leg. Lynn, you do one helleva job with this celebration , Thanks for including us!!!! (CLICK ON THE NAV. POINT)

Just wanted to bring a little bit of Sweden to you and hope that ..............just because one advances in age..................Don't stop having fun..............or friends, two ingedients I think you need for a longer life.
See you next week.
