Resurrection Day Weekend

It is the first day of spring today!
Well, no one is really sure if it is, but today the little machine came and cleaned the street. They removed all the little stones from the street. These stones have been there since late November when the first heavy snow came. They make it more difficult to slip and hurt oneself on the ice covered roads, though it is still very possible.

We have had some beautiful days recently. Lots of wonderful sunshine and warmer temperatures during the day, althought the nights are still quite chilly.


 I was blessed to be able to spend the Easter weekend with some friends-like-family in another city called Örebro. It was a lovely time of rest, food, and good chats.

Here is a photo of Uncle G walking on the water after lunch at the Nature Reserve. We needed the walk after that fantastic lunch.


 

I even had the opportunity to walk on water! Well the water was frozen and covered with snow, but that is not the point. It was still a first time experience. We went to a place called Kilsberg and walked across the lake and sat on mats in the snow and the sun and ate Fika.
This was certainly a different thing for a barbarian in Sweden to do. My other first that weekend was using the carpooling web group successfully. I was able to travel by train to one place, meet someone there and then get a ride to Örebro. It was kinda cool actually. Meeting new people and seeing slightly different parts of the country.
  

There were some ladies from Hong Kong visiting OM Sweden for an outreach last week who taught me to say 'The Lord' in cantonese.



Now I am back at the office. Many people are either taking time off or travelling for work.
I am looking forward to warmer days and the beauty of Spring.
Bye, bye Winter!
