It sometimes doesn’t take a lot……

to make us happy!! Most of you know that we went home to Sweden for a couple of weeks visiting family and friends a month ago or so. Some of the things we looked forward to while being home were the Red Pölse on the ferry between Denmark and Sweden (we flew in to Copenhagen) and the licorice, can you tell???!!!!

This is how happy we turned after we found all the licorice on the ferry and it just went downhill from here, two weeks of overdosing on licorice and små godis, lol!!

fun fact, chairs are made back home in Sweden and one seat has this label underneath.....Made in Rosenfors for a customer in Vimmerby, the town we lived in before moving to Californa and the label is printed in Oskarshamn, the town I'm born in........

We were fortune to visit Hjorteds Moped Museum when we were back home in Sweden last month. Bosse the owner, opened up his museum just for us! It was so much fun to walk around and look at the huge collections of mopeds, bicycles and all the vintage things that Bosse and his wife Pam collected over the years.

If you are ever in Småland, Sweden you have to take the drive to Hjorted, just make sure you have plenty of time as it is a lot to look at and you notice more and more things as you walk around. Thanks Bosse and Pam for a couple of very fun and informative hours!!
