Paulus and I went to Lund this afternoon after we had separate outings in Malmo for breakfast....Paulus played his Hero Clicks and I met up with a bunch of other Expats for a yummy American brunch here in Malmo!

It was nice to see everyone and meet some new people....We were a big group of 22 and we all stayed a few hours...Lots of fun and very noisy. Looks like this might be a monthly thing..Lots of us don't see each other very much because of school,jobs and life. But it sure was fun:)
When we left at 1:30 the place was filling up with people....I heard a lady say in Swedish....Where did all these American come from? :)
Here are some pictures I took of the leaves in the city park in Lund...Hope you enjoy:)

My Favorite Season!!
I love Autumn...The leaves,the crisp cold air and the colors.I remember as a child in California waiting for the leaves to change and wondering why it happened so quick. Because we really never had a fall like you see in New England.
Well here in Malmo Fall has come slowly and now all the leaves are turning red,orange,pink and all the colors of fall....In some parts it looks like someone just painted the landscape. Its very nice. Plus its getting cold and crisp. Soon the leaves will be replaced with ice and snow...Until then I'm going to enjoy it while its last....The wind will do away with the leaves shortly...So Ive taken a few pictures for my 3 blog reader to enjoy!

School Daze!
Hello my 5 blog readers! I know Ive been away for a bit but Ive been busy trying to get on a schedule with school and stuff!
Well I like my school. Its a different atmosphere then the adult school I was going to in Malmo. Its a more like a JC collage and there are more serious students. I will say that we are not challenged as much and its a very laid back type of feel Which is great but I must improve my Swedish....especially with my speaking!
The program I'm in is for adults with ADHD and dyslexia...There are only 3 of us that are leaning Swedish as a second language! ME, a women from Iraq who was just diagnosed with Dyslexia over the summer and a man from Jamaica. We work in a group and since the other 2 have lived here for many years they speak very good and inspire me to do better.
I'm going to school all day from 8:20-2:10 M,Tues and Friday and from 10:10-3:50 on wed and thurs!
I'm taking Swedish
Math...which I HATE WITH A PASSION!!!!
Swedish government
A writing class
and High School English which is quite fun and well I got a good laugh when I didn't know what a adverb was!!!
Paulus and I are now speaking a bit of Swedish at home and trying to do it more and more! My goal is to be speaking Swedish together all the time by next year!
For those of you that understand svenska here is the link to my school

Have a great Sunday!

Our Summer in pictures:)
Well summer is over for us..Its getting cold and soon the leaves will change. But we had a good summer.
We spent time with friends, spent time together and even got a new family member added to our clan. We went to Denmark for the day and spent many nights watching movies and staying up way past our bedtime:)
There was some sad news. I lost my Aunt Rita to brain cancer and my MIL lost her mother this summer also....My FIL spent a few days in the hospital with Pneumonia and our little niece was born with a heart condition which she had surgery for last week and is doing good.
But for the most part it was fun. We even have planned our summer vacation for next summer. USA here we come:)
Here are some pictures Ive taken over the summer. Hope you enjoy them:)

Its one hot summer!
My whole 5 readers.
Its HOT....This morning it was almost 80 at 9am. Ive found that home if the best place to be with the sea breeze and the windows open. We took a short drive inland to Lund this afternoon and It was so warm we came home. Paulus dad is sick and is in the hospital. He has been doing to much at home and just wore his self out but he will be fine and home on friday. But I found it strange that the hospital room had no AC and that you have to eat in a dining room with the other patience's. You only get a tray of food sent to your room if your unable to walk or such.
Paulus is on vacation after having to work most of the 1st week of it and yesterday. We have a few day trips planned but nothing big. With it being so hot and the sun being my new enemy. We are not going to Denmark as planned and well the zoo is out because the skåne animals don't like the heat either.
Tonight we BBQ steak for the first time and it was perfect and yummy. My swede is a great BBQ chef even though he is a novice:)
We also went out and bought a Nentiodno Wii.....Its our new toy and well worth it. Its given us many hours of supermario kart and Im sure we have wasted many brain cells in the process.
Have a great day
Maggie
