Nice

I am amazed how the new floors have really transformed the entire house. It is so easy to keep it clean now! Finally I don't have to feel embarrassed to have people over...

We are having a dinner party tonight, as well as another one next Saturday! I love to entertain, but it hasn't really been a possibility with the disgusting old floors, not that our friends minded, but I did!

I am grilling some marinaded pork tenderloin as kebabs (grillspett), and serving that with some Swedish potato casserole (potatisgratäng), a nice, crisp green salad and some yogurt sauce with garlic and pepper on the side. For dessert it is Swedish blueberry crumble pie (smulpaj), hot, with vanilla ice cream. Yummy!

Tomorrow the beach is calling! I am thinking about packing the family up and going down to Siesta Beach on Siesta Key. It was actually voted best beach overall in 2004 of ALL beaches in the US, so you can imagine it is pretty awesome... The sand is just like baby powder, soft and white. And the water is an amazing turquoise. Last time we were there we actually saw an entire school of dolphins just a few feet away. Amazing!

Kul att ni inviger det nya golvet med middagsbjudning!
Vi kom precis tillbaka från stranden - stora mörka moln... :-( Hoppas att ni får bättre väder imorgon!

Den där stranden ser underbart vacker ut. Dit skulle jag gärna tillbringa en söndag. Toppen att du är så nöjd över de nya golven. Men jag trodde nog att du skulle bli det. Det är ju en enorm skillnad att få bort heltäckningsmattan och ha kaklade golv.

Mumsig meny. Jag blir hungrig och sugen bara att läsa om den maten. Blåbärspaj var det länge sen. Hmmm, kanske man skulle....
Den där stranden verkar inte gå av för hackor.
