What a nice surprise! In the morning, on Dec. 13th, along came Ruth Noren with a beautiful white “dress” (her mommy’s blouse, I think!) and a candle and some yummy sweet bread and butter to share! In the photo is Ruth and her mom, Mary, and her brother, Michael. They are at Gamboula with us, waiting for a new member of the family to show up!
In years past here at Gamboula, we had EARLY morning visitors, like sometimes 4:30 am early! The Swedelets would come, with coffee and pepparkak0r (crisp gingerbread cookies) and the girls would be in white and the boys in red, complete with Santa (tomte) hats. They would sing the Santa Lucia song in Swedish, giggling all the while at the biggest girl in the bunch with candles in her hair! Don’t you just love the holidays!
