Today was the reason for my trip to Sweden. Just as I chose what I wanted to do for my 85th birthday, my friend declared what she wanted to do for her 75th birthday.
She wanted to travel to Sweden to see the Carl & Karin Larsson home. I said I would come along.
This was the day.
It was a beautiful drive from the Green Hotel to the Larsson property.
A stop for kaffe along the journey was a delight.
Past fields
and tunnels.
We had time before the tour to wander the beautiful grounds.
At noon six of us were gathered for the tour of the home. It was simply beauty. We were not allowed to take photographs.
Instead, we spent the time listening to the story of Karin and Carl and their children. With time to stand in the rooms, climb the stairs to the upper floors, we experience the paintings. The furniture. The rugs. The words.
We were filled with the story of their stories. We were stunned over the vastness of color. Of words. Filled. Grateful.
Happy Birthday.
