It’s Been a Good Time to Read a Book!
I’ve had a very good time reading this book, Keeping Christmas, by Kathleen Stokker, and learning about the Christmas traditions in Norway! It fit in perfectly with my Norway series, which I am about to start up again, since we’re not through Norway just yet! The book begins with the link between Viking customs and…
A Book, The Revolution of Marina M
If you have been following my blog, you know I have been posting on the Baltic countries. We’ve traveled from Sweden to Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia and next on the horizon is Lithuania.

Good Morning!!!!! Ah! The sun is shining again! I was beginning to think I saw Noah and the Boat on the horizon! My poor plants have been drowning in water, but I know it will be hot, hot, hot now and within a few days time they will be thirsty again! So there won’t be…
WeekendCaféShare: Spring Has Sprung!
If we were having coffee this morning, I’d tell you the cottage painting is completed and everything looks pretty spiffy! Don’t you think so too? All done before spring! Well official Spring that is. Now I am really ready for spring, although I think we may skip spring, like we skipped winter, and just go…
Great Expectations
No this is not about the Charles Dicken’s classic novel. It’a about how I always have such “Great Expectations” before I set off on a new adventure (vacation)! My new adventure is Cornwall in the United Kingdom and I am really looking forward to it. So I have been doing some research (as always) and…
