Hello everyone and welcome to my blog! I live far away from some of you (I miss you!) and it can be difficult to stay in touch at times. This blog is my attempt to keep you up-to-date with my life here in Oklahoma.

Here is a picture of the three of us in Lindsborg. The Dala horse is one of many on Main Street. There are 26 'wild dalas' of Lindsborg. Max is six weeks and two days old in this picture.

The Dala Horse is a popular Swedish handicraft and souvenir. The name comes from Dalarna (Dalecarlia) in central Sweden. Most popular are the red-orange horses from the little village of Nusnäs near Mora. The history of traditional handicrafts in Dalarna is rich and lively, with their characteristic and original kurbits style of floral paintings.
