From Canada to Sweden

[kralingen]

Moving day went smoothly. Gerda had worked hard and I had done a bit so most things were already packed by the time Monday morning came. My sister, my Dad's brother and my Mom's brother's son came to help at 9 (they hadn't seen each other in over 20 years I think) and Dad came a bit after 10 with the truck

Interesting note: Today is my Swedish name day! Every (common) name in Sweden has a name day - and every day is someone's name day. Today is technically Kristina/Kerstin but its the closest one to my name so I've adopted it. You name day is sort of like a mini birthday - you get phone calls/cards from relatives and maybe a special dessert at dinner - we're making rhubarb crisp :)
