Sunday...

One small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day...

The day we came for in Norway is finally here.  Yayy!  Today is Vanessa's baptism.

Lots of preparation has gone into this day by her parents of course, and fortunately, Arvid 

and I were able to help out the last 2 days with some stuff.  Made us happy.

Baby girls need pink everywhere and little Vanessa has it.   From the cake to the cakes 

decorations, everything was made by Michelle.  I look at her and I see an amazing person.

Yesterday I talked to my mom for quite some time so that made me happy.

I tried calling all my sisters, but none of them picked up.  That made me MAD!  Haha!

For the baptism I will be wearing a long dress.  Not something I usually do.  I will also be

 wearing high heels.  Definitely 2 things I am not used to,, so hopefully I will not trip and

 fall on my face.  That would be a little too embarrassing.  Not for me so much, but maybe Arvid

Love the color of my dress.

Arvid and I had an evening out to Fishland and we visited a pub in town.

Horten is a very small town.  Everywhere we go we meet some of Arvid's old friends.
Always interesting for them to catch up a little on each others lives.

Well here in Norway it is very early.  Back home it's not even 4am.  Little Brutus is still asleep
 as is all my family and friends in the USA. We are about to go to Vanessa's baptism now.
Happy Sunday all and remember, it is the little things that make a difference.

Let all that you do be done in love.  Happy Sunday...

Sunday...

Sunday, for me, is all about being home with the family with no plans...

So far a very relaxing day.  No traumas happening here today.  Brutus is fast asleep and did well

 with medicines this morning.  Today he decided to be good and eat a little foodies

 and drink some water even after he had is pills.  Makes for a good day for me.

Everywhere from Fort Lauderdale to Norway Christmas is in the air.  I "talk" with my 

step-daughter Victoria all the time via Whats App and we keep each other "informed" 

of what's happening in our side of the world.  I really enjoy these conversations

 with her.  I have also started to do messenger with Michelle, so happy happy 

to be a part of their world even when we are so far apart. Makes me feel 

closer to them.  Both are very good girls.

I love the fact that Victoria makes even the mundane seem glamorous.

For instance this is her setting the table.  Her heading is Autum Setting.

Try as I may, I could never replicate this.  It is always fun to see what she comes up with next.

We Skyped with our grand-daughter and it has made the day even better just 

"seeing" them.  Sundays are good days.  Now to go and do some house cleaning.  Not

Sunday unless there is a little cleaning to do.  For a change I have to iron a couple of shirts.

Arvid says he does not like them when they come from the dry cleaners because they are too stiff.

He is SPECIAL.  Take that any which way and you will still be right.

To all a good day and hope the Christmas spirit is already in you.  I have it and I'm happy.

Happy Sunday everyone,

It's the last day of the weekend so let's make sure it's a good one...
