A long night that resulted in many hours sleep just not all
in a row. There was a middle of
the night hot chocolate and sandwich break at 2 am. I was lucky then to have a
chat on FB with Kim. Thanks KIM.
I fell back asleep and woke again at 6 am. At our
summerhouse it is pretty good when the dog has to go out. We have a lot of
forest around our house and I just go out with her and she does her business.
Awesome. I took her out and then went back to bed. All of us sleep a lot better
out here with all the fresh air.

Finally mid-morning and we eat our first breakfast, get
ready for the day and then it is time for our second breakfast (brunch). I am
feeling tired even though I have been in bed so many hours. But better to rest
so I can be in on the festivities in the afternoon.
Early afternoon and it is time to head to Farfar and Evy’s
house for Easter Eve Lunch. All of the cousins were gathered. All of the usual
Easter foods (Swedish style) were served. And everything tasted great as usual.
The kids love going there for the annual egg hunt. They have to eat lunch first and then they start together
and look for the hidden egg on the property with their name on it. They can’t
open their egg until everyone has found theirs. They are so happy when they can
open it and start eating the candy. Thanks Reinhold and Evy for a great day!

I got a chance to rest when the rest of the gang went down to admire the new dock. It felt good to rest after sitting out on the back deck in the sun for a couple of hours. I tried to tan my bald head. Not sure it made a difference.
We came home around dinnertime with Jenny, Patrik and Ulrica
who are sleeping over tonight. We whipped up some dinner while the kids and
Peter started a quick little fire to get rid of some small trees. Not so many
matches and fresh trees means not everything burned. The 5 ravenous children
ate up dinner quickly. It is so fun that the cousins can spend time together.
Tea and the rest of the girl scout cookies were enjoyed by
us adults. Now we are just going to relax and watch the Beatles special on TV.
I am tired but not overtired. Otherwise I feel good and I
appreciate every day that it is that way. Can’t wait to be done kicking
cancer’s ass but know that I need to take it one day at a time.
LOVED. FAMILY. FRIENDS. KICKING CANCER’S ASS. BALD HEAD.
GRATEFUL.
Vilken härlig dag ni verkar ha haft Teresa!
