For a few days, I join in on Christine's busy schedule...
It's crayfish party season. Sofia snaps a good shot of Cessie.
There's beer, liquor, bread, cheese, potatoes, salads...and crayfish and plenty of good mood!
Party organizer Marie, with me and Christine.
One afternoon, we board a ferry out to Donsö, one of the many islands outside Gothenburg.

On a Sunday, we drive down to Halmstad to visit Christine's maternal grandparents.
Where there's a visit in Sweden, there's always a "fika".
Granddad is giving the garden tour.
This is actually tobacco.

I also join Christine for her trip to the Electrolux headquartes in Stockholm.
They've been around for a very long time...
