OK... let's try it again!

The picture of the Red House may be recognized by most of you as the house in Sweden where the Hagbergs lived. (Of our last two years Christmas Cards) I'm talking about Robin's grandfather, Per Johan and his brothers and sisters.

When we were in Sweden a year and a half ago we got to stay in that area for two weeks and even spent the night in the "very" house. We walked all over the property and walked to the schoolhouse and church and along the Whisper River where the children would have played and fished.

Our trip back this year will be to share the experience with Robin's brother Lowell and sister Gay and their spouses. We are so excited to return and see many more places in our family history. I have been studying my research and maps so we can travel a bit farther out and see
more. We will rent a car so we will not be a burden on Cousin Lian who was so good to take time off her work to take us around to meet more cousins and visit "our" historical spots.
