Anya was feeling better this morning, and Donna made us a classic farm breakfast of bacon and eggs with the addition of more of her wonderful lefse. Deanna came by with her fiancé to introduce us. Boomer (the first, as Anya’s dog was named Boomer after this one) snuck inside the house and was spoiled with petting and scratching from Anya.
Jim and Sue hung around to help get us sent off with one last opportunity for Anya to drive Jim’s four-wheeler.
We made arrangements to be back next summer, because I’m now on the Mount Carmel schedule for July 1-7. Anya is eager to have more time here, and especially time when she isn’t sick. Jim will put her to work on the farm, so it would be a great experience.
So, we hope to see some of these folks in Sweden, but at least we’ll be back again soon for more of Donna’s amazing hospitality.
Rallying Help for July 8 & 9
The next 12 days will be very full. Fortunately, there are some local folks who have offered to help with some of the tasks. If you’re in our neck of the woods and available to help with some moving furniture, painting, cleaning, and general tasks, I’ll be rallying helpers for July 8, Friday afternoon and/or evening 1:00 – 8:00 pm); and July 9, Saturday, from 9:00 am and beyond. Send me an email at mamaanya [at] gmail.com and let me know when you can come and if you have specific skills (painting, cleaning, etc.). This will be a great help!
With blessings,
Beth
