Happy Holidays
from Catherine & Lars
Baby Riley, a couple of days old, resting in my lap. 🥰
This is "Gunilla," the ship on which students at Öckerö Gymnasieskola do frequent trips during their three years.
Catherine planned to retire in 2025, so in November '24, we downsized to one car, returning this leased fun-machine. She then accepted an offer to work for another year... I have been sans auto since and really miss this beauty 😬
On the 10th of December, Baby Riley arrives in a text-book perfect delivery 🥰
Our ever-alert guard cats, Bowie and Jagger, in front, takes a brief break from their vigil to wish you herring and ansjovies! 😸!
Nick, Anna, and Grandfather-to-be...

Ziggy wanted "real food" after a month of ship fare across the Atlantic, so we sampled "local food!" 🤣
Anna, December '24, very pregnant and ready to get this over with...
I surprised my grand niece Signe, "Ziggy," by showing up in Paramaribo, Surinam, when she and "Gunilla" arrived there for a three-day visit.
Happy Thanksgiving Anna, Riley, and Nick!
Lars, Riley, and son Lars 🥰
