Feeling Blessed
Hello beloved reader!
I appreciate you being here and thank you for being so patient about my absence since my last post. It's now Tuesday and I'm so excited to share with you the events of the past week. Here come some exciting big life events and moments of joy to catch you up on.
A day in Kungshamn, where I visited the agent to the farm house I was telling you about in previous posts. The seller agreed to sell to me so now I signed the contract for the old 19th century farmhouse! I have goosebumps just writing this. I'm so excited and overjoyed. After the paperwork I went to the local coffee shop to celebrate with a Swedish fika.
In a previous post I wrote about a wildlife restoration project that is happening on the island. Here my Dad is placing fishing nets to remove invasive species from the pond who are harming the amphibian life here.

It was a very windy day of fishing only to find we caught an eel! Yikes! Now we will have to re-evaluate what is threatening the toad population in the local ponds. If you wish to learn more about this restoration project feel free to check out my previous post called Be Amphibious and visit the local municipality website.
Later we went home to enjoy a typical West coast lunch.
Dad tried on my hair extensions. I bought these because I lost a lot of hair after I had coronavirus. I also had a lot of hair loss towards the end of 2023. It's been a tough time.
One day we went to the Smögen hotel to enjoy a buffet. I had never been there before. The food was fantastic. I highly recommend the buffet lunch.
More celebrating this week with a fantastic bottle wine. My Dad has collected wine over the years and inspired me to start a collection of my own.
The evenings are lighter now and I spent a beautiful evening out among the dancing seagulls in the wind.
