Mormor came and went!

I hope we haven't lost any of you vivid readers in the long wait for a blog update. I've said it before - times just fly by! I hope to make up for the long wait in the days to come. It is already a few weeks ago that Mormor came and left. It did not take long for Maya to bond with Mormor and she clearly thrived on her company. It was during this time that Maya's amazing giggle got full throttle. It was so nice to have Mormor here and we missed Morfar, but he had to stay at home this time around. The 17 days flew by, though it has to be said, Mormor got an amazing amount of stuff done. When she wasn't hanging out with Maya, she was to be found outside - I think she worked up a bit of a tan! She worked very hard to give the yard a Spring look, which we greatly appreciate - I'm not sure we would ever have gotten to it. Now, of course, since Lee, Holly and also my mum were working on the yard, you probably think we would put you to work should you come and visit. This is not so, in fact most of it is 'self-inflicted', or at least I would like to think so. I was cooking up a storm while Mormor was visiting - hard work demands good food. Mormor worked all that good food off, though unfortunately the same cannot be said about me. Keith was working hard too, we hardly saw him, part of the reason why it was extra nice to have a visitor. Mormor did cook a few of the obligatory dishes. I am proud to say that Keith is very much on the 'rice and pork meat balls in curry' wagon. Uhmm so delicious, I truly feel like a kid when that dish is served. Maybe because there are no vegetables to be found - the onion in the meatballs doesn't count, right? She made us an extra 60 meatballs for the freezer, so we have been eating meatballs with pasta and tomato sauce, meatballs sandwiches, meatballs in pita with salad and so on. The top photo was taken on one of our walks - bushes and trees were in bloom and very beautiful. Maya is wearing her new rosa dress from Lisbeth and Hjalte in a few of the pictures. I couldn't resist including a few 'work hard in the yard' photos.
