Shopping and Landlords

I finally have an appointment!  Thanks to David.  He had a Swedish speaking friend get him through the phone system to a human.  After that he had no problem, making the appointment.  I am so excited to know that I will be in the system soon.  The appointment  is Monday October 18^th. 

Today Ellie and I met up with Angie.  Her husband will be working at Electrolux also and today was his first day.  We decided we would go exploring.  We found the mall at T-Centralen.  We had a fun time browsing the stores.  In one of the shops, we met a puppy that Ellie really liked.  She wanted to know if the puppy’s name was Maggie.  I think she is really missing the animals.  We stopped for lunch at McDonalds.

After McDonalds, we decided to wander through Gamla Stan, the historic part of town but the water.  Not the best plan ever.  It was so windy and cold.  We did find some neat buildings and doorways.  Since it was time for Ellie’s nap we all headed back to our apartment to rest.  Angie hung out until David arrived home. 

Our landlord, who we had not yet met, called in the afternoon and wanted to stop by for a visit.  He and his wife stopped by about 5:30.  They were the neatest couple.  We really enjoyed talking with them.  They are both retired but have renovated a windmill site to be a location for weddings.  She coordinates all the weddings and he helps with the set-up and maintenance among other business interests.  David enjoyed talking to him about the history of the building.  She made the comment that she loves looking at American furniture because it is so different than Swedish furniture.  Ellie, of course, charmed them.  They also brought us a thoughtful gift of two orchids for our windows.  They are beautiful.
