Are you going to do it again? My brother in law is the coordinator at Green River College in Kent. :thumbup:

Sweden is like New England. The swedes speak good english. They are very much like us. Most towns there are small and it is a culture that appreciates arts and crafts
like quilting. They have interesting christmas customs.
You will appreciate their sense of humor....(Think Minnesota!)

or 18th. I hope to find out this week. Hopefully the 16th.
She did say her favorite holiday is Christmas so I'm hoping we'll both learn new ways. Also I read that Halloween they all dress as witches. Hmmm. So much for my dog costume this year. :shock: She did put she had a good sense of humor.
To put up with me that long she'll need it.
:mrgreen: I haven't been around to many Swedes. Or any at all for that matter that I know of. All this info is coming in handy. Thanks
