Thursday January 15th~

In family relationships love is really spelled t-i-m-e...

 Today we take Max and Kelsey to lunch.  Max's 

favorite place is Blue Moon Pizza, and that's exactly 

where we are we're going today. Looking forward

 to seeing them both.  Rain in the forecast, and 

Arvid is not that happy to be going out in it.

As mentioned before the temperature is slowly

 dropping.  For us it's cold.  All Arvid keeps 

saying is that he wishes that we could spend 

all January-February in Puerto Rico🌞 

As of right now still not cold, but don't ask

 Arvid.  He will say that it's too cold.  We have and

 are having a little rain.  Nothing that will make

 a dent to the drought, but everything helps.

Wishing everyone a very good day. No pretty sunrise 

this morning.  A bit on the grey and gloomy side, but at 

least it is not freezing cold like in many other places.

We are here to add what we can to

 life, not to get what we can from life...

Friday January 20th ~

 Happiness is having 'you are my sunshine' 

by my side. Life is always brighter with you...

Walking on sunshine... NOT so fast buddy, 

but coming around slowly.  Happy times😎

Yesterday was one of those very good times with family. 

 My sisters are loud happy women.  With them you cannot help but

 laugh all the time.  I would love one day if both of our families can 

be together like this.  I know my family already loves my Norwegian

 family💓  It would be interesting to see us all mingle together. 

We started out at my mom and dad's and from there we went 

to the bar for happy hour. I'm more the Sangria type.  My sisters 

like Margaritas.  We all loved the raspberry Cosmo, and the wine

 was not bad at all.  Arvid stuck to beer.  Not too adventurous at

all, but we had a blast.  Hopefully everyone remembers😂

Today we plan on doing more of the same,  Fun times. 

 Arvid to me, "I can't drink everyday you know." 

Here at home it's quiet.  Just Sniff and I in "our" room.  

This second bedroom or more like my office and Sniff's room

 is like a little sanctuary.  I am awake early every morning and

 this is where we retreat to.  I'm an early (maybe too early) riser.

Family unity is not about being on the same page 

at the same time, it's about being in the same 

book working toward the same ending...
