popnea Went to Snow Summit, just a few hours east of Los Angeles for a day of skiing!
The morning was beautiful!
The clouds started to roll in over us in the afternoon.
A good day!
We did the M*A*S*H hike today.
It did not take us long before we came to a Y fork and had to decide which way to go.
We picked the one to the right.
Arriving at the M*A*S*H scene, where they used to film for the TV series.
They had left an old truck and an ambulance behind.
You are here!
Cookie break
Slowly making our way back
Stopped by a lake on the way, beautiful!
We like shortcuts!
Martin Hsu has a contribution to Gallery 1988LA’s exhibition “He-man and the Masters of the Universe!” We wanted to check it out at the show opening last night.
The Gallery open at 7pm, we were there at 7:30pm and it was a huge line to get in.
We decided to go grab dinner first, but by the time we got back it was still crowded inside the gallery and the line was even longer.
Luckily though, his painting was hanging right by the window so we could see it from outside!
Since we still had not gotten inside 30 minutes before the gallery was supposed to close for the night, we decided to come back another night and go drink beers instead.
Went to Air Conditioned Lounge in Santa Monica last night to watch DJ Panman spin some records.
Back to work and announcing the relaunch of our online magazine. There’s still some tweaks to be done, some pages that needs to be updated and some optimizing for different browsers, but it’s already way better than the old one. Check it out at www.cbnaturalliving.com
Since there were no delays, canceled flights or lost luggage on my way to Sweden, I should have expected a not so smooth return trip.
The flight from Helsinki, Finland to New York was delayed because of the extra security they had put in after the dude was trying to blow himself up on the KLM flight. They managed to make up some time in the air but it wasn’t quite enough. We landed at 4:40pm and my flight out was at 5:15pm, I was still in hope that I would be able to get my bags and clear customs in time, but when they at 5:15pm announced that they couldn’t open the department in the plane which my bags were in I realized I had a long night in front of me. I missed the flight.
I was put on the next flight that was supposed to leave at 7:10pm, it departed at 7:40pm and I fell asleep right away. I woke up a couple of hours later by the pilot announcing there were something wrong with the plane and we were to return to JFK where a new plane was waiting for us. We took off from New York at midnight, one hour after I was supposed to have been back in Los Angeles.
I was home by 4am, about 33 hours door to door.
Had a chill day today, went to an outlet and got reminded of how expensive it is in Sweden!
Got back home and had to snap a photo of the sunset.
We started off the day with some sledge riding.
The hill was not so steep, but the kids loved it anyway!
It was not as cold so it was more pleasant to hang out with Musse today.
Back inside to celebrate a late Christmas and the New Years Eve.
I woke up this morning and the thermometer showed -22.1 C, which is -7.8 F!
With 4 kids between the age of 2 and 5 you dont really have a choice but to keep them occupied and pretend it is not cold at all when they are complaining.
They proudly showed me their new horse, Musse the Welsh Mountain Stallion.
This is my parents place, where I grew up;
I had to run some errands in the “big city” and when I got back home, the kids had decorated the Christmas Tree, we are celebrating Christmas tomorrow, one week after everyone else.
I woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland, this was the view from my sisters kitchen window this morning;
The kids put me to work right away and we kept ourselves busy all morning baking bread.
My mom made a fire in snow in the backyard and we had hot dogs for lunch.
The sun sets really early so by the 3:30 evening walk it is already turning dark.
