Thank you to all the service men and women of our great country. My favorite is my Dad, though. He was a career military man, an Air Force fighter pilot. He then retired and enjoyed being a corporate pilot. He still works for the same company, in fact, but just a few hours a week.
We have had a rough week. I don’t know if you could tell that I was phoning in my posts last week. They were short and not well edited. This week if I go quiet, it is because he is in the hospital with a new cancer diagnosis as we are await a treatment plan. I may feel that I need this creative outlet, though – we will see.
I really don’t want to show outfits for wearing to the hospital and my clothes are the last thing on my mind. I haven’t had any cocktails and I haven’t cooked. I have kept the coffee coming, though.
I really appreciate you being my faithful readers.

I’m so sorry Amy. Ugh. And blogging is something that can be cathartic but can also seem like a false representation and the last thing you want to do in those situations.
Prayers!

I teach Swedish and English for kids between 13-15. Yes, Sweden is beautiful and great in many ways – but we love Florida! That’s where we spend our summer vacations!

No, we actually learn British English over here! I started coming to the US quite recently, my mother in law has a nice apartment in Florida. But I guess Florida isn’t really the “true picture” of America? (even though most people seem to origin from NY :-))

Haha! That’s true about Florida! You probably speak English better than us.
