The evenings in Stockholm were spent visiting, checking up on our internet friends, having tea together and enjoying Gisela's beautiful home in Stockholm. | |
Gisela's son, Torkel came for dinner one evening and it was my turn to cook an American dinner, Yankee Pot Roast. The most difficult part was conversing with the butcher to find a cut of meat that would be similar to something we might use to make a pot roast. It all worked out well and we had a fine evening together. | |

Marie-Louise,
Gisela's daughter, and her family live a short train ride away in a lovely
suburb of Stockholm. We went there to attend
a play at Grandson William's school. Gisela, Marie-Louise and Granddaughter, Martina are at the door to the school here. |
William was a delightful Merlin the magician. The play was a musical with much singing and dancing. Every child in the class participated. | |
|
One
of the songs was sung in English. I was delighted to hear that it was a
song that my
grandfather had sung to me as a child and that there was a finger game that went with it. After the play we went to the cafeteria for coffee and cookies and the children were fascinated to know that I knew the song and they enjoyed learning the finger game that went with it. |
