Hi
I have finally figured out how to add a couple of photos. My daughter Virginia booked a wonderful Air B&B in old Stockholm. The below photo was taken from the top of the building we stayed in, at sunset.
The below photo is from left to right, Galina Sonnergren, my son Dain, me, my son-in-law Dave, and my daughter Virginia. The photo was taken in St. Petersburg
A photo of Lars during fika in St. Petersburg. Note the bread beverage. It tasted like yeast, but was not alcoholic.
The Nordic Museum in Stockholm.
Below: Lena Palmqvist, Head of Department, and myself at the Nordic museum. We discussed her studies of Swedish farms in Minnesota. The discussion was very helpful to determining the time frame for Peterson and determining when he started using American techniques, and methods. Despite a long tiring week, and looking as tired as I felt, the conversation and information gleened was fabulous, and the time given me, greatly appreciate. She suggested several books, which I was able to purchase on line from Amazon, and have sent directly to the musuem. She also gave me two books, one I took with and the other she would be mailing to me. All the books disuss construction of the farm buildings.
Next time, photos of Skansen!
From Uppsala, my best,
Wendy
Hi Wendy!
Nice photos!
I am now in Sweden again.
Did you get my mobile number some days ago?
Yours
Lars

Thanks for sharing the photos–I have never been to Scandinavia. Glad to hear things are going well. I have been using Southwest Prime but it doesn’t go far enough west to reach Waconia. So although I miss my work at the Museum, I have been busying my self with St Louis Park student yearbooks brought to my house to digitize.

I think about you every time I work with or look at photos in our collection. Please stop out if you have the opportunity.
I am very impressed how much you have done to restore Andrew´s farm and preserve the memory of him. 2006 is now long ago. Then my friends and I began to repair the granary. A small job compared to your work. I am glad you restore carefully and with delicacy. I would very very much like to make visit again.
Kindest regards Olle
