Couldn’t get Mom to update my blog yesterday, and she really had a lot of time because it was raining almost all day. She left me alone in Adrienne for several hours and that’s not fun, I get nervous when it rains because sometimes thunder starts and that’s very scary.She had to go in to town (without me ? ) to take care of lots of important business ............bank, and some offices I ‘m not allowed in to ...........what’s up with that ? I know how to behave and never make a fuzz where ever we go.
Mom came home with a new comforter and new duvet ? I didn’t notice anything wrong with the old one, but she claims these are warmer and much prettier..............guess I couldn’t argue about that.
Today Mom got the TV going, for the first time, why didn’t she do that yesterday when it was raining all day??? I would have felt less lonley while she was out .................oh well
Sunday we went to a nice mansion for "FIKA" ( a very important Swedish word I've learned which means coffee and a sweet )
the place was almost deserted because it was raining, but that didn't stop us, it was very quaint.........
there was self serve, hard to choose among all these old fashion stuff. As usual Mom think everything is too small............like itty bitty cups and spoons.....
We decided to sit outside on the patio despite the rain. We squeezed in under an umbrella and blankets were provided.
Mom sure enjoyed this cinnamon bun
found a stone cold squirrel,
It turned out to a great day after all, and very evening we are invited for supper that Lotta makes, she’s a fabulous cook, and Mom can’t help herself from eating too much. I steal cat food as often as I get a chance .............Mom has an eagle eye so I have to be real sneaky, but I manage to get a mouthful now and than.
This is Freyja, and she was married to a god named Ode, whom she loved deeply, but he left for long journeys, so Freyja cried golden tears for him...
There was small sheds where the people kept their bicycles, ( EVERYBODY rides bikes here ) MOm loved the plantings on the roof.
Cats on the window sill does not have anything to do with the theme, at least Mom don't think so,
it's real neat though.
Don't know anything about this bird either, any of my readers know ?
It's almost 2 PM, and we haven't had lunch yet.....................
se you later ..................wet nose kisses to you all..

This morning Mom spent several hours cleaning Adrienne. The entire inside was covered in yellow pollen, and for you that know Mom that drove her insane. It doesn;t matter one way or another to me, but when she comes with that big loud machine that sucks all the dust................That's what I want no part of.
It looks good inside now, and Mom is happy.
Last night we went for a bikeride into town, and there was a rock and roll band playing really loud. I HATED it, and lucky for me, Mom wasn't crazy about it either. We walked away and looked at the boats .....
After leaving Sigges town, we drove to a place at the East coast called Oxelösund, from pictures it looked real cozy, and Mom had found a place on internet to park Adrienne that looked nice. When we got there it was dirty and windy, and the view not exactly what we were looking for. We also tried to figure out what that statue was supposed to be ?
Mom made supper, we ate and than moved on to a place closer to town and a harbor for small boats, (and billions of seagulls) She spotted a seal, quickly out with the camera before he dives.............he didn’t move ? as it turns out he never moves. It was a statue.....hahaha
Mom still insists on getting up waaaay to early in the morning, usually around 6 AM............I refuse to get up and stay in bed.
this past Wednesday we both got up in a hurry at 4.30 AM............there was a seagull invasion............you should have heard the noise they made, we sat quiet and looked out the window, no point talking,we couldn’t hear each other anyway. Mom was so stunned she didn’t even pick up the camera...................it didn’t last long so I went back to bed, but Mom stayed up and made coffee..............why I said ? nobody else is up...............well there was a Brittish guy in a sailboat.....
This town was nothing like we thought, we walked around the harbour. We spotted pink bicycles that was for rent, but found out it was only for boaters...........how silly............guess Moms money aren't good enough ?
Maybe it's too early in the season ? the flowers in the welcome sign at the town entrance hasn't been planted ? and nothing in the boat pots ? Maybe town is short of money for not renting bicycles to everyone ?
I did run into a cute girl, but she didn't want anything to do with me..................too bad, we could have had a great time.
We started up real early and headed south towards Moms puppy friends house, you know Lotta that came and visited us a while back. Now Mom is getting comfortable piloting Adrienne so here goes the camera shooting while driving again.
Notice our president who came along and nods his head approving of everything we do......
What on earth is this ? looks scary ...............like from some sience fiction movie or .........
at Lottas house there was little kittens everywhere, but unfortunately not very friendly. Reminded me of my own cat I used to have at home..............spitting and hissing even if just look at them, still very cute...........too bad we couldn't make friends.
this guy was hissing just to see a picture of me.............or maybe he was laughing at Mom ?
So many pretty flowers and bushes in Lottas garden, I can tell Moms fingers were itching to start working.
Think she's having gardening abstinence....
Yesterday was Swedens 4th of july, which they celebrate June 6 ?.....................strange .
I'll write about that a little later, it's time for my morning walk..........
kisses to you all....................Buttons
Once again mom was too tired to update my blog last night, so here we are...........in a small village called Malmköping.
The campsite is very nice, but expensive, and most people here stay all summer and set up their trailers with tents, and plant a garden and so on........it felt like they looked at us with suspicion ?
Who cares anyway, we had great company, Sigge mushroom dog and his Mom, and Lady M and her Mom. Lady M's Mom had baked cinnamon buns and that's my Moms favorite...........how did she know ?
On our way here we passed under an aerial tramway that was built in 1939 to transport limestone from the mine. At the time they found it the most economic way, but now it’s under immediate threat of demolition since it’s not profitable anymore. Hopefully they’ll keep it as a historic site, and maybe let tourist ride it to watch wildlife in a slow quiet way. They do that at a different tramway up north close to Moms birthplace... ( I’ll get back to that later )
We are now very close to a winding path were you can go hiking in the wilderness for over 1000 kilometers, it’s called Sörmlandsleden, and Sigge and his Mom is responsible for parts of it.
Both me and Mom loves this, but unfortunately I had 4 ticks on me when we got back. Mom couldn’t believe it since I was wearing Frontline ?? Lady M’s Mom who’s a dog doctor explained for Mom that it DID work since they never attached to suck blood.......... yyeeessh sometimes Mom isn’t using her brain.
First thing I did when Mom took the collar off, was to run like a bat outta hell down to the beach...............where no dogs allowed sign is. Mom got mad, but I told her I can't read, and I wanted to go swimming just like Sigge did......oh well...............
When our visitors came we walked into town and had "fika" ( a very important Swedish word ) tea and cookie at a cafe where we four legged were welcome.
wonder what it was Sigge didn't like ...................
we strolled in town and window shopped a little, this is very small so that was done in a snap.....
Sigge got to swim in the fountain !!!!!!
Again Mom and her lilacs
Anyone read he novel "The 100 year old man who climbed out the window and disappeared " written by Jonas Jonasson ? Anyway, this is the senior home it all started at............and there's a movie planned scripted from the book.............................great publicity for the little town
we walked home on the historic railroad tracks, and Mom was quite proud of me, being able to keep up with the longer legged dogs................but boy was I pooped.
this is strange looking dude I've never seen before, he hissed at me and Mom didn't let me sniff him
wonder why __?
today we'll be on our way, don't know where yet................
We’re now at a campsite in a small town called Malmköping, Mom was supposed to update my blog last night, but we got some very special visitors Mr. Sigge mushroom dog himself, and his Mom. We received his book and a candle and sap-cream to keep the pesky mosquitos away. We will see them again later today .....so right now I’m resting to save energy for the meeting.
Sigge is a real good swimmer and totally crazy about chasing sticks
We are driving along the beautiful countryside, trying to avoid the highways, (not that there are too many in Sweden) In this area it’s mostly farmland, and many windmills, the modern kind that generates electricity for the farm.
I truly enjoy the wiev from this high seat
Another beautiful morning by the lake, birds chirping, Mom getting up waaaay to early, I'm sleeping in at least another hour..................you hear !! get that damm camera away..............
Yesterday we were invited to Sandras birthday and had lots of cake..............in other words, MOM had a lot of cake, I got nothing again............STEPH !!! tell her again
I kept busy with dogs and kitties that lived there.........
This is the dog at the harbor we're staying...........he looks a little mean, and Mom didn't let me go find out.
This is a chestnut tree, but not the kind we're roasting, couldn't eat the fruit, but it's still very pretty
This is aunt Ellys porch, very comfortable and where
snacks sometimes fall from the table......when Mom isn't watching
It was raining yesterday, so I got to ride in my new stroller for the first time, much to the Swedes amusement..............but what do they know anyway ..............
Gorgous walk with trees lining the dirtroad...................keywords, dirtroad, rain, white coat, stroller...
In this little village there's a papermill, (guess that's the biggest reason the village is here ) and sometimes I cold detect a strange odor, that comes from the chimeny.........
This was the scenery we woke up to this morning, can;t complain
Think bigfoot has been here.....................good thing I slept ....
this must be a pretty old boat, Mom don't think they make them like this anymore...
Mom is crazy about flowers, and these she found in aunt Ellys oldest daughter Birgittes house. Guess what the purple ball is called ..
and dandelines everywhere, which is a weed...................but pretty enough to keep I think
MOM, for crying out loud, is this really nessecary !!!!!! I really prefer privacy when I take care of this business, and that's why I need the stupid lead gone...............and Mom comply most of the time.
OK, since my business is taken care of , (and Moms I think ) it's time to empty Adrienne of her dirty water and fill her with fresh, and than we'll be on our way.....................where to ???? not sure yet, but probably to the east.........................I'll let you know later tonight..,,,,,,
