Lock your doors. Shut your windows. Hide away the fine china and clear off everything you have on your lower bookshelves. Nothing is safe. Not anymore!
Last Friday was "Midsummer" here in Sweden, one of the highlights of the Swedish calendar. I believe it is a pagan tradition that was originally used to help ensure a fertile start to the summer. Today, it is a celebration of the year's longest day, during which Swedes gather around a flower-decked pole, sing and dance and generally have a good time. They then head off to celebrate into the wee hours of the morning, with more singing and dancing, having an even better time.
We spent Midsummer with our friends Eva and Stephen and their two lovely children.
Matthew and Lucas spent last week in tennis camp. Although neither of them had ever really played before, by the end of the week, I thought they handled the ball and their rackets well.
Last week Nicholas also had his very first swing....
Today's photo of the day truly demonstrates the old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words".

I was feeling out of sorts this evening and sat down to catch up on the internet. There you and your wonderful family were, pictures and all!
God Bless You, you and your group of Merry Men have cheered me.
