My mom, Janne and I are on our way to Tällberg in Dalarna. On the way there we stopped in many cute towns, one of them was Sala where I took this picture.

This boat, "The East Indiaman" was built in Göteborg and made it's first trip to Stockholm today.

We had dinner at Djurgårdsterassen, one of my favourite places in Stockholm.

Carl-Gunnar & Aina

After spending the weekend with my parents they drove me to the train in Nässjö Monday morning. On our way there we stopped for coffee at Carl-Gunnar and Aina's house and here is a photo of them surronded by all their beautiful geraniums.

New kitten

My mom found this cat abandoned in the forest a couple of weeks ago and took care of her. Someone probably had her over the summer and then decided to get rid of her. What an awful thing to do! At least this adorable kitten has a great home at my parents house now! She still doesn't have a name so any suggestions are welcome!
