Hi

A lot going on right know, not a heck of a whole lot to my liking but if you're there please stick around.

9 years old

Hipp Hipp Hurray! Our little Milu is now 9 years old.













She likes to thank everyone for her birthday wishes. Her rear hips are a little better, she takes glycosamine twice daily and she hoovers down the Eukanuuba organic dry food for senior adult large breed dogs like never seen before.

She still loves a good night story read to her accompanied by her younger siblings, Alex and Fia. After that it's their bedtime which she best supervise by jumping into bed with each one of them until they are asleep. After that she does her bedtime routine outside and despite her hip issues crawl under moms side of the bed.

She is also very pleased that this year dad bought a car to her liking, there is nothing better than to sit up front in the passenger seat with a window rolled down, she sure missed my old pickup truck.

As always she is a blessing and we are so fortunate that she is a part of our family. Happy Birthday Milu, we love you!

Golf and gators

All four of us went out to hit the greatest round ever known to man by a foursome playing golf. We were right on track until we had to yield for this fellow.













He/she jinxed us and we stumbled across the whole family after that.














Alex has one piece of advice to give you, if you play #4 at Charleston national favor the right side of the fairway, left might be unplayable at times.













But that didn't put a damper on the great shots we made. The ball landed in the sand trap, so what? All it is to switch out the club and make yet another awesome shot. Piece of cake.













Sundays are family days, little did I know that I was to spend them on a golf course together with a few gators. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Please lights out

In our family it turns out that I'm the only person that knows how a light switch work and I've tried to spread the knowledge around by gathering the whole family around me in hands on lectures. What a waste of time. Either they are slow learners or I'm a lousy teacher. They all seem to think that the switch only work one way and that's to the on position. To threat with them having to pay the electric bill doesn't even make them flinch. If I have to come home to an empty house one more day and the lights are left on.....

Wait a minute.................my god, I've become my dad.

Fall

This morning when I let Milu out I started shivering, it was really chilly outside a mere 55 degrees (12 Celsius). I had to rush back inside and dig up a sweater, last time I wore one was in early April.

Fall is here with oyster roasts, bon fires and not to forget Halloween. Tonight will likely consist of to cut my grass and plan this years Halloween decoration, we have added a few new ones but the 8 foot skull is still the ornament anchor.

He's got game

I don't know if you know much about golf but Alex, our 5 year old sure has got the hang of it. First tee up.














Second, look down the fairway and line your self up.













Focus on the ball.













Swing all the way back, remember your left arm is guiding keep it straight and shoulders parallel, bend wrists for maximum power.













And then simply swing through and watch your ball fly down the fair way. Easy peasy lemon squeeze.

Sunday golf

On Sunday afternoons we try to get some golf in the kids and I, mostly Alex and I but once in awhile the little Fia likes to join us.














Just look at how far Alex tees off, about 100 yards each time and straight at that.














Concentrate.













Oh yes, in the hole.













Two kids on #5 a sunny afternoon in SC, we had a blast.

For my wife

So that you easily can listen to one of your favorite songs.

I love you!

Superstar

Alex has started this falls soccer reason with a bang. He is the top scorer to our delight.















He managed to score seven goals in one game. If he continuous we will live in Barcelona before long.
















Alex " superstar" as he humbly introduce himself these days.

I wave at random people

I've known for a long time that Harley Davidson drivers wave at each other on the road, a cool discreet hands low signal of recognition.

I know that there are some serious car aficionados, I once was a member of Alfa Romeo Club Sweden ( I would trade Gustav for an Alfa in a skinny minute if they sold them here in the US) and that club had some interesting members.

So here I am in Charleston, SC and random people wave at me driving down the road and I of course wave back at them.

Random people might be a bit unjust, these are some good folks that I respect.

Why? They drive Mini's.
