I'm in Colorado. Born and raised here. That said, I'm not sure what to say about it...
The mountains are absolutely beautiful. It's a place that has all four seasons.
Ummm...I guess you'll have to read up if you want to know much about it! Sorry, I suck at info...that, and I'm too lazy to type much.

And an old house in Hallunda, the suburb in which i live. It is closed during winter but works as a cafe during summer. It lies about 10 minutes walk from where i live, in a little forest. It was built during the early 1800-hundreds. Except for letting it have running water it is much as it was then. Originally it was a farmer working for the big landowner who lived in the nearby mansion that lived there. Myself live in a rather boring 8-storey building built during the 70-ties.

Yeah - didn't you get that memo? You're hosting the party!

:m_bigwink::m_cheeks:with our luck I won't be able to get the time off next summer!
You must. My brother has hinted that he might pay my fare next summer. Right now cant afford an america trip... but if that comes through i might be able to make the dates coincide. Wouldn't that be great!!!!

Yes - I hope the other girls don't take the dates for vacation I am hoping for - of course it is still not sure when in the summer it will take place.

(I have 3 coworkers who have more seniority and get to pick first!)

Neese, both Kon's have been on my birthday... (July 20th) so maybe this one will be too?
You (Kon) guys should work it out early so you can get in first with your leave.

Wow! If you can make it all the way from Sweden, I should be ashamed if I can't figure out an 11-12 hour drive, huh?! :)

The House of Refuge was built in 1876 and is the only one of 10 sailors' sanctuaries still standing along Florida's southeast coast. When cargo ships from South America, Portugal and other places crashed onto rows of reefs offshore, their crews showed up on the beaches looking for food and a place to sleep.
Keepers living in these "lifesaving stations" -- built every 26 miles from Miami to Daytona Beach -- gave them shelter.
