Happy Anniversary to Leya!

Happy Anniversary with WordPress.com!

Today I got this celebration badge sent to me because it is exactly 3 years since I registered on WordPress.com. I didn’t know it was today, but I knew it was about 3 years…

Three interesting, adventurous, exciting years that have brought me new, valuable knowledge and many friends all over the world! (There are things good with the Internet…) So much I have learned from you, so much fun and so many useful things! Hopefully we will have many more discussions, reflections, likes (and dislikes…) to share. And, bits and pieces of our lives will fit together in this great Big Puzzle. Intriguing!

To celebrate this – my way – I have created another blog, because…well, I will put the link under my photo blog faialflores,( created last year, right column) but for now…you can find my New blog Here. What it’s about? Be my guest, click and find out!

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Free and Easy

Den här dagen är nog en av de mera lyckliga och sköna i livet. Du har gått din sista dag i skolan – nu är du helt fri och framtiden är ett oskrivet blad. Du bestämmer själv vart du vill gå och om du vill jobba eller plugga eller kanske resa och se världen. Även om framtiden är osäker så är känslan den här dagen obetalbar – du är fri! Jag minns fortfarande när jag själv sprang ut på gården viftande med den vita mössan – världen låg öppen!

This day – I think belongs to the happiest free-and easy-days in your life. The last day in school, the world is an open book with unwritten pages and you are free to do whatever you want. You feel grown up and from now on you make your own decisions about what steps to take from here. I can still remember my day…there is no comparison to that feeling. Even if the future seems uncertain, this day is totally – your own!

Travel theme: Play

Introduktionsdagar! Ailsas tema är Play – och vad kan passa bättre?

Now there’s only hard work to look forward to  –  school is here again! The two first days are always dedicated to getting to know each other, old students and new ones. So, playing games is only one of the things we do…

Weekly photo challenge: Fresh

Last week my two children, son and daughter, both got positive answers to their applies for university. Both got what they wanted and their first rated universities – my son will study to become a graphic designer and my daughter to become a dentist.

Fresh, wonderful news – and cheers were made in fresh, sparkling champagne, of course!
