Easing into Autumn

The Great Swedish Adventure
It took a lot of time and a few reminders from Anne of Green Gables (“It’s been my experience that you can nearly always enjoy things if you make up your mind firmly that you will,”) but we finally convinced my folks to make the trek to visit us in Sweden! They still think Lund…

History Day
We had delightful weather for Lunds historiedag, a cross between a mini Renaissance Festival and a historical recreation club, spanning 1,000 years in the history of Scania. This year is special because it is 900 years since the inauguration of Lund Cathedral in 1123. Andrea managed to get us registered for 3 guided tours in…
