Checking in Day 46 Alcohol Free
The visit with my boyfriends dad and his dad’s wife is going well so far. They are all drinking and smoking but I’m doing my thing and we’re all having a good time and it’s fun to catch up. They love to party but just want everyone to have a good time, so if that means no smoking or drinking for me they don’t really care. I sometimes just have to remind them that I don’t…
They LOVED their present. Makes me happy. It’s called a Skogen Tomte (pronounced skoogen tomten) and it’s like a Scandinavian gnome kind of being. In Scandinavian countries they used to put them under the floorboards. It was believed they protected the home and watched over animals when you traveled. People would make offerings of butter and porridge when they returned. If you didn’t make an offering they would play tricks on you. The woman who makes them updated it so the idea is when you travel you get a pin and come back and add it to their hat. I love it so much!! They are soft and wonderful and cute. I need to get one for my home too but I just knew when I saw them it was the perfect gift.
