THEN, I'd drive down to the bank and pay off the mortgage, then I'd get first class tickets for all my swedish family to come over here! I would Spa myself silly... and shop until I dropped!

Susan Point and Kelly Cannell- My Favorite artists

2009-10-13T23:16:00.000-07:00

"Memory"

"Transformation"

This is one of my Favorite artworks, It's called "memory", and is made by a native Canadian called Kelly Cannell. Kelly is a Coast Salish artist who from birth has been exposed to the endeavors and teachings of her mother Susan A. Point. Kelly has often helped her mother with painting and woodcarving and as a result is becoming fluent with the use of Coast Salish traditional elements. In 1999 Kelly was commissioned by Canadian Air to create an original logo for their team’s t-shirts in the annual international world airline road race. In recent years Kelly has created several collaborative screen prints with Susan and has worked on a number of her own private commissions. She was most recently selected as one of the successful entrants (along with Susan) in a competition to design new storm sewer covers for the City of Vancouver.

Brad gave me "Memory" for my 31st birthday, and I have it front and centre in my livingroom. If you look close it's tiny eggs in the middle who turns into tadpoles that turns into frogs. I LOVE it! Thanks Brad for making me smile everyday when I look at it!

I will try to one day get my other Favorite ,"Transformation",

which is a caterpillar turning into a butterfly

Så Här Svenska är vi, även i Kanada!!

2009-10-13T12:42:00.000-07:00

Detta är Jack och Molly utanför Svenska skolan i Vancouver, där vi åker varje Lördag för att hålla uppe med Svenskan och traditionerna.

Alla tycker det är ganska skoj, för Jack har en Reeeedig Skånsk dialekt, och har ju aldrig ens bott i Sverige!!

Men... Svenska e vi.. ända ut i fingetopparna!!

Jag vill Känna att jag Lever!

2009-10-02T23:28:00.000-07:00

åååhhhh, vad fin denna sång är...

Det är nu som livet är mitt jag har fått en stund här på jorden och min längtan har fört mig hit det jag saknat och det jag fått Det är ändå vägen jag valt min förtröstan långt bortom orden som har visat en liten bit av den himmel jag aldrig nått Jag vill känna att jag lever all den tid jag har ska jag leva som jag vill jag vill känna att jag lever veta att jag räcker till Jag har aldrig glömt vem jag var jag har bara låtit det sova kanske jag hade jag inget val bara viljan att finnas kvar Jag vill leva lycklig för att jag är jag kunna vara stark och fri se hur natten går mot dag Jag är här och mitt liv är bara mitt och den himmel jag trodde fanns ska jag hitta där nånstans Jag vill känna att jag levt mitt liv!

Sorry!!

Viva La france!

2009-03-04T05:03:00.000-08:00

We are here and settled in.. now the blogg can start up again. After 30 hours of flying and traveling, we arrived to a filthy house where someone obviously had slept in the bed before me. I was so upset, and wanted to turn around and go back home again. The internets add we had responded to was a modern apartment in the old port of Marseille. Cable and wii-fi, and all the above. Anna and I woke up early and cleaned the place out for 8 hours. Not really the thing you want to do after a long trip, and when you are paying nearly $350/night. No clean sheets and towels, No internet, no cable, dryer didn’t work, and if you had 1 cooker on the stove on, while the TV was running the whole place shut down... and you had to restart the power again. Brad is meeting with the owner later this month to try and get some of our money back.
But after rain comes sunshine....
And we found a LOVELY French little house with shutters on the windows and a big garden for the kids to play in, 700 meters away from the beach... ahhhh, this is nice.
Jack and Molly have already made friends with the neighbours and language is NO problem... just giggles and laughs and a LOT of hand gestures. Brad is working lots, but we are very happy to have him home every night! We have LOTS of room, so if you want to come for a visit, you are MORE than welcome! well, better go make myself a nice espresso, and play with Jack as Molly is having a little siesta, and will be back for trouble making in a little bit... so see you soon, and Au revior!

Sorry for the lack of blogging!

2009-02-01T12:12:00.000-08:00

But we are packin packin packin'
and heading to France. were we will be spending the next 5 months.
weeee, getting a little excited!
but still much to do before getting too excited!
I know... come visit!

There was food, kids, music, dance and a few good cold ones. it wasn't sweden, but it was close... you do what you can in this country of the maple leafs. Thanks to IKEA we had sill (Herring)and knackebrod(crispbread) I if we have those two components, we have the key to a succesfull midsommar! and we did...summer is here, and we are enlighted... now we're just waiting for the sun. :-)
