Yes! Not really... Isn't that funny?  We at DaBox (what I call my home), always celebrate both dates. I used to celebrate these dates, so, I carry the traditions, both Mother's and Father's Day.  While the rest of the world celebrated Father's Day, Swedes fathers waits until November 8. We always gathered in my cottage, as both kiddos are back. Big One and his girls just came back from their 6 weeks vacation and the Big Missy came home from her dormitory. What brings us JOY? I always put my family in the hi-prio list. Aren't we? So, joined our gathering... Our granddaughter is 9months old and tanned... isn't she adorable?   My Princesses... Big Missy teaches the Lil Missy to love shoes, LoL* I prepared  the simple table with touch of blue... Not much blings. You know "men"... Sweden love Rosé wine during Summer, so, they get some... Ohhh! bear with my forgetfulness. I forgot to buy baby chair, but she know how...

 Vacay, Guests, Work and Etc.. It was hectic weeks I had. I was just wishing I have 42 hours a day to cope up all the things and those MUST. We have friends came over, stayed over, vacay over and it was one nice time being with them (again). They are my GH childhood friends, whom we visited in Harare, Zimbabwe. They were here for 4 weeks to visit friends and family. Big Kiddo, celebrated his 30th birthday, my cousins came over and celebrated the Swedish Mother's Day, graduation cake orders and I have to tackle the tasks that I am concern. Lots of our summer interns came. More mentorship and blah---blah--- LoL* Never ending tasks. I never complained coz I love what I am doing. I have several group of shots to be posted but never happened. BUT, here I go... I managed!!! This time... These are the mini-cakes made to order... It was a bit of "H...L" baking these cuties as my over strikes! Anyway... it ended peacefully... ********************...

I am baking mini apple bread/cake loaves in sardine's tins ...    When I was diagnose of osteros arthritis & fybromiyalgia, I seldom eat meat. So fish is cool alternative. Sardines is fine enough. That thought and idea begun. Baking in a sardines tin ! And of course, those perfect shadows around. Always fun to join and play with my SSS2 party...

Firstly, " No ,  I am not quitting".  I love and enjoying blogging. Sometimes, there are things that we have to priorities, right? And there are so much happenings in my life, i.e life was Upside-down. But, everything has a meaning. Embraced the faith. Secondly, long adventure and my work also plays, it all.
