Midsummer
Cuckoo!
The days go by and yesterday it was time for our Swedish midsummer celebration!
The sun was shining, the day was warm and the birds were trying to sing their loudest.
Two of our missing family members arrived in the morning so my whole entire family was together again.
What could be better than that?!
Ill tell you, all my sisters with their families were suppose to come but only one made it.
The others flight got cancelled and the next available time would have been on Sunday.
Such a disappointment!!!
Of course we did our best to make it a positive day but I (we all) felt there were something missing.
We also missed the midsummer dance ( we were too late) but at least we saw the maypole, all the people and got the feeling for this special day.
Herrings, family, meatballs, sunshine, salmon, laughs, salads, strawberry cake, plays, chats, "schnapps" and everything else that would fit in the word midsummer we had.
And all of this sprinkled with that togetherness and security that comes with the gratitude of having a family.
But sister, you were missed!!!
