Smatterings of the recent 10 days

The Swedish cousins returned from Aroostook County last Tuesday so there was a dinner get together at Elaine's that evening. Enjoyable time. We downloaded Laila's trip photos to Lois' laptop and had an impromptu slide show (902 pictures) which included photo's of a Scout trip Laila went on to Iceland. As the evening came to a close Anders, Laila, Elin, Anders and Gunnar passed out thank you gifts. Laila gave Carol and I Swedish Scouting T shirts and Gunnar gave us a book on Swedish Elk (moose). From all the pictures and activities I think they had a great time. We'll be talking about their visit for a long time.

Elaine, Laila, Elin, Anders, Gunnar, Anders and myself.

Gunnar explaining something about the Elk book to Carol.

If being out on one weeknight wasn't enough we were invited for Thursday night to Bev's Aunt Sevee's for a supper get together as Bev and son Jonathan had arrived from Texas on their way to visit family up to Stockholm. There were other guests as well, another good time indeed.

Another slow week at the office but on Thursday our new computers came in and I had mine Friday. Didn't get it totally setup until yesterday morning. It's a Dell workstation, extra processing power, upper end video card and 2 gigs of RAM. If it was a car I'd say it was a sweet ride (desktop photo from Ian's New Zealand photos).

Another Saturday working on the dog pen relocation. With some help from Ian, Carol and I finished setting it up. Just about ready to start the deck, phew.

Hey, careful how you take the corners!
