Just a quick check in

Picking up my grandmother (mom) Wivan and aunt Ewa at the airport was an adventure, Wivan arrived with a full-on nose bleed, and when she has one of her famous nose bleeds she can bleed forever. So she was covered in blood... Jösses!

And then Ewa realized she lost her wallet on the plane, so I had to dash down to the air line counter to try and localize it before the plane left for it's next flight. Luckily, my aunt quickly realized that her wallet was not lost, just in her bag somewhere.

So far we have taken it pretty easy. Done some grocery shopping and just everyday kind of stuff. We did take mom to her first ever visit to a Thai restaurant. She is the kind of person who complains about everything, and she was going on about not being able to eat that kind of food, that this and everything...

Wivan really enjoyed her red curry dish!

When the food came in why had to pry the plate out of her hands, she loved her red curry chicken so much! :-)

Ewa has severe nickel allergy, and the silverware was all nickel plated, so she ended up having to eat with plastic utensils at the restaurant!

We went shopping for fresh herb plants at a local garden center

Yesterday we visited the South Florida Museum to get a dose of local history, and we also got to meet the resident manatee there. His name is Snooty, and he is well over 50 years old.

Snooty and his two other manatee friends enjoy feeding time (on the menu today: lettuce!)

We also enjoyed a planetary show at the museum's IMAX theater, and Sarah is here waiting for us to get let into the theater

Today is mostly going to be rest, they are still pretty jet lagged. We have to get to a store to get aunt Ewa a new memory card to her camera, her old one seem to have conked out.

The weather has all of a sudden decided to get "mild", which for Florida is not cold, but just a tad less humid. It is apparently only going to last through to Monday, so we better enjoy it while we can. Unfortunately this type of weather also affects my joints, and I had a very hard time this morning, mainly because the joints around my rib caged was hurting so bad. Now it is mostly my hands that are hurting.

My aunt likes to clean. I don't. She is obsessively scrubbing away in the kitchen every day, and it is odd to have everything so clean and in order. There is just no way I can have it like that when I am by myself, but I will enjoy it during their 3 week stay!

Oh, and I had pannbiff med lök, kokt potatis med brunsås och linogonsylt on Monday. YUM!
