Brother and sister act....

This is a photo of one of our very best friends Hans with his twin sister Marjo. They are Dutch-Hans lives in Stockholm. He was Neil's first employee at the bookshop. Marjo lives in Sassenheim, Holland - this pic was taken when celebrated their 50th birthdays last year.

Yikeees is it December 2 already?!

On 19 November, friends of mine helped me to "celebrate" my 36th year in Sweden - actually 16 November was my real arrival in Sweden day. We celebrated at a spa called "The Rose Island" (Rosenön) which is a short ride from the center of Stockholm and luckily it was the only sunny day we had in all of November this year.














Here we are - Marilyn (who took the pic) Joanie, Karin, Cecilia, Amy, Barbara, Carole and Denni. We started with lunch at poolside with a view of the archipelago and then on to the "Bath Ritual" with scrubs and masks and hair stuff. Cecilia with the long blonde hair (of course), is the only person here who was born in Sweden, everyone else is a transplant just like me.
