Pumpkins

We drove to Edens Farm & Nursery Garden, about 7 minutes away from our apartment. We expected a lot of cute pumpkin stuff, but we had no idea that this place went all in. There were sheep, a hay maze, a haunted house thing, a hot dog stand, a hay ride and lots of pumpkins. A fun thing for families for sure. And the lady who I guess owns it actually remembered us:)
We didn’t find any good big pumpkins, but they had great medium size ones, so we got three plus two small ones. One of the small ones I bought a few weeks ago is kinda dead, so it was nice to find two new ones for decorations in the apartment (I do that every year). After the farm visit, we drove to the shopping area near our home and bought pumpkin carving tools and some stuff for our Halloween costumes. I’m exited for pumpkin caving. I have done it once before, like two-three years ago, and it’s really fun. Maybe we’ll do it tomorrow.

Yesterday was Friday the 13th

Two pics from Disney World last year. Cute Halloween stuff:)

Good Morning! Did anything happen to you yesterday? Is Friday the 13th an unlucky day for you? Nothing happened here, it was just another day. J came home kinda late from work. I served dinner and then we spent our evening playing yahtzee (and I kept getting yathzee’s so I won every time) and then watched some tv.
Today we are going on a pumpkin hunt. The normal stores here has absolute terrible looking pumpkins so I think we are going to drive to a farm/garden where we bought some plants for our terrace earlier in the summer. It’s cute out there so I will bring my camera.
Have a wonderful day!

Throwback; Disney World

Last year, Sept 30 – Oct 4, my dream of going to Disney World came true. It meant so much to me and even if it’s a year later, I can still not believe that I, Fanny, a small town girl from Sweden, got to experience this. Might not seem like a big deal to anyone else, but it is to me.

A lot that I was dreaming of as a kid was things that I could see myself be doing or visiting in the future, I just needed to become a grownup:) Big Dreams that I knew could come true if I just believed and worked hard enough. Like, I was dreaming that some day I would get to swim in a pool surrounded by palm trees. Yes, that was a big dream of mine, cause I had friends who went on vacations in other countries who sent me pretty postcards and when they came home they told me about the pools and beaches they had been to, and I was jealous. So I started to picture myself being a grownup who got to spend my life by palm trees…teaching artists like Madonna to dance (yup, I had one of those dreams).

But then some things on my list, like going to Disney World, were things that I really thought would be impossible. Ya, impossible. I don’t think I knew where it was, but I knew it was far away and back then people didn’t travel as we do now. To travel didn’t seem impossible, cause I had relatives in several different countries, but to visit Disney seemed like an expensive dream plus far away. I am so grateful that I got to experience this. I can’t thank my husband enough. This dream may not seem like a big deal to anyone else, especially not to some Americans who gets to visit it several times growing up, some kids even go every year. To them it’s probably just another amusement park. It’s not just another amusement park to me, it was an impossible dream.

Check out Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom.

Columbus Day

Fanny Sura9 October, 201710 October, 2017Leave a comment

Always feels so weird and off when Monday is part of the weekend. It was Columbus Day yesterday, or whatever they wanna call that day, and Jim was off work. I took a morning yoga class. I haven’t been there in awhile so it felt really good! J picked me up after class and we drove to Costco. We needed more salmon and coffee, but we ended up with a lot more than this though, as always. We were both hungry which is bad when shopping haha. It was raining yesterday, so we didn’t do much more fun than this. In the evening before dinner, we drove to a store to get stuff for me to create Thor’s Halloween costume, that’s about it.
We had a nice and easy three-day-weekend with a concert, yoga and shopping trips. How was your weekend?

Today it’s warm and sunny again. It looks like fall outside but the temperatures are not there yet, and I love it! Fall is a really nice season. Never liked it until I moved to New York.

3EB at Capitol Theater

Last night we took a taxi to Port Chester, NY, to see Third Eye Blind play at the Capitol Theater. No pre-band, just them, which was kinda nice. The place was cute too, had a lot of nice details. They played a lot of old songs that I don’t really know, so I couldn’t sing along much, but we had a great time. Afterwards, we walked over to Village Beer Garden to kill some time (everybody was trying to get taxis at the same time) before we ordered an uber to go home. This was the third time I saw 3EB (plus we saw Stephen Jenkins’s solo thing in the beginning of the year). It’s fun every time. Everybody in the audience sings along which is fun.

Sunday has been pretty slow. I really want to recover from feeling mushy. We walked over to the mall around lunch time, but we didn’t really find anything we were looking for so we walked to a bar for some food instead. We are just gonna take it easy the rest of today. Watch football, maybe eat dinner if we feel like it and relax. Tomorrow is Columbus Day, we’ll see if that turns into something more exciting:)
