Since my little presentation of Los Angeles was such a success in my brothers kids classes, my sisters kids wanted me to come to their school and do the same. Again, the rattlesnake was very fascinating to the kids, and they also asked me what I was doing during the Second World War and why I don’t have any kids on my own.

My sister picked me up after school and we drove to Hökhultsstugan, where my great grandmother was born. How come I have never visited this place before? I think it’s owned by the city now and used for youth camps and such.

Lunch fika – because I can’t do this where I live.

So, the Swedish supermarket takes the “self checkout” to a whole new level! You get your own scanner, walk around the supermarket with it and get to put your groceries straight from the shelf and pack into your bag, how awesome!

It even greets you with your name! Brilliant!

Over the last couple of times I have visited Sweden, I have realized the different signage the supermarkets use in Sweden Vs America; In Sweden you see a huge price tag but it’s difficult to see what it is exactly that cost 18.95sek?

Yeah, I made it to my goal – the candy shelf!

About $100 later spent on candy (and a pack of coffee), we went home, picked up the kids and headed over to a fair. I have never really been a fan of these types of events as all you can get there is a bunch of rubbish, but sometimes you find interesting things, like huge boxes of lingonberry!

Got home and practiced with Musse the pony.

The fan club!

My dad had bought a bunch of fresh seafood so we drove down to the beach for a picnic in the sunset.

Jump in the ocean after dinner!
