Time to light the first candle. And to have the family over for a
celebration of my husband. I had prepared an advent-theme coffee with saffron buns, gingerbread sponge cake, gingerbread cookies and of course- a princess cake with the traditional green marzipan cover. And a selection of “glögg” to enjoy with the coffee. We had a nice couple of hours with our guests.
Tonight I have been visiting with old friends. It was really great to see them again – we used to spend a lot of time together when we were kids since our mothers are best friends. Now one of the sisters is getting married so her friends had a organized bridal shower for her. It was really nice to be able to take part of that for a couple of hours. Wish we could see each other more often and I guess the only thing keeping that from happening is a bit of better planning and effort. Need to work on that.
– as I see it..
