Time is really flying, it’s hard to believe we’ve been here two months. June was as busy as advertised. We started the month at Marcia and Rutger's for a celebration for Camille’s graduation, and then an extra day in Stockholm to visit Margaret and Janne.
In preparation for Midsummer, Sooz made an enormous order with the food delivery service MatHem. Ordering heavy and bulky stuff to be delivered to our dock makes our subsequent grocery bus trips much easier to handle. I did the same with our Systembolaget delivery; we had our summer booze sent to Guns Livs on neighboring Nämdö, and all I had to do was to drive it over on our boat.
Speaking of deliveries, I made a big order from our local lumberyard on Djurö. My big project this summer is to extend our roof overhang. When I built the house, I made the long deck two meters wide, which was a great idea. However, I left the roof overhang at one meter, which was not a great idea. I spoke to Wille about extending our roof another meter to provide more cover. He advised me on the supplies I needed, and I made an order from Djurö. Wille is coming out at the end of the month for a few days to get this done. Lots more on that as we complete the work.
The biggest delivery, though, was Marcia and Rutger arriving on midsummer along with Grant and his girlfriend Kelley! They made the trip all the way from Boston to spend both the holiday and my 60thbirthday together.
We had a fantastic time. The weather cooperated wonderfully and I had a multi-day birthday celebration with my family and friends.
To end the month, Sooz and I saw Bob Dylan at the Globe arena in Stockholm a few days after. Quite the fun and celebratory month!
