Brothers Spending Time ~

Life's value is found in shared 
moments, not material things...

We took Vidar to one of the many rooftop bars 

here in Fort Myers.  My favorite is Luminary.

We were fortunate that the skies were clear and 

the sunset was as always amazing.  At sunset hour the

 rooftop is packed.  Everyone, except Arvid of course,

 wants to be there and get a selfie, me no exception.

We enjoyed the view, the sunset and each others company.

The brothers are spending a lot of time together.  

They look so happy in each others company.  It's really 

good to see.  I am sure they are both a bit tired, but the time 

they have spent together so far will forever be special.

I have enjoyed seeing Arvid and Vidar together.

We are enjoying our time with Vidar.  Yesterday 

we even saw a bit of the Artemis II, mainly the 

flash, blast off to the moon from the restaurant

 in Fort Myers Beach yesterday.  Pretty cool.

Wishing everyone a happy day. Your brother is always 

the first male friend you will have in your life.

Once a brother, always a brother, 

no matter the distance, no matter the

 difference, and no matter the issue...

Wednesday April 1st~

All women are created equal, 

but only the best are born in April...

 April-born women are often described as fierce, 

confident, and natural leaders, characterized as

 "storms" rather than those who simply withstand 

them.  I will not contradict this because I am an 

April woman and this holds true.  "April girl, they 

whispered , 'You cannot withstand the storm.'

 She whispered back, 'I am the damm storm."

A new month begins. Definitely one of my favorites.  

I you see was born in April.  Nobody is perfect, but if 

you were born in April, you're pretty damn close.

Arvid continues doing the tour guide thing.  He's 

very good and patient at it.  With everyone.  More so 

than I am.  I see him with my parents and I smile.  He's

 so patient.  So kind.  I sure got lucky with him. 

Yesterday we took Vidar to mom and dad's.

  Of course they wanted to cook and have us over 

for dinner, but we said not this time.  They just got 

back from their cruise and I know they are tired, but 

I also know they would have gladly done it.

Yesterday we also had lunch at home.  Vidar

 and I were the cooks.  Arvid a not so interested 

observer.  Vidar made the salmon with a very 

delicious sauce.  I made the shrimp scampi, and

 the accompaniments.  Everything was good.  

Best was the time spent together.  Relaxed. 

Yesterday was a very good day.  Vidar and my

 parents got along very well. They asked him how he

 liked Branson and his response was, "it was fantastic." 

 He told them he would like to go back there another time

 and maybe spend two weeks.  He said there was so much 

to do in Branson.  To that there was another toast/ skål.

 To all a very good day and may April be

 good to all of us.  Many say April is a promise

 of what's to come. Happy New Month.

In family relationships love is really 

spelled t-i-m-e. Gratitude turns what we have into 

enough, transforming ordinary days into blessings

 and unlocking the fullness of life....
