‘more to come’….
www.vox.com will no longer be around nor will http://kemars.vox.com after September 30th.
But the good news is that http://www.robertandlily.com has now been born, a tribute site for my children, Robert and Lily. =)
Well, it has been too long for my regular posts to my blog and I have to appologize for that. With so many mini projects ongoing around the house, apartment(s), and now future summer retreat, I have lost focus on what i should be doing.
Where to begin?
My 20th high school reunion happens at the end of this month. Man oh man, 20 years.. I am getting that old already? Too bad timing wise it didn’t work out for me to attend as I would have loved to join in and meet up with old friends. Perhaps at the 25th reunion or 30th reunion if they have something. At least I have frequent conversations on Facebook.. Thank goodness for Google, the internet, and email. I think the whole planet would be lost without at least two of the three.
Work Front: I have now done it, left NSN and begun my new job July 1st. It has been an important 3 years working for NSN as i have learned a lot about business practices and their way of doing the “job”. My new job is great. It has been a warm welcome “back” from old friends from the past (only in Finland would this ever happen) and have already made new friends these past 8 days, so I know its a great start for sure!
Home Front: We have been loving the weather lately here in Finland, avg. +28 – +30 degree’s Celsius (between 80-88 degree’s Fahrenheit ) now for the past รค one and half weeks. According to the weather person on the news here there is no site for this to stop for the time being. So lots of A/C on at the house, and enjoying late afternoon swims in the lake to cool off. (And no sun bumps on my arms or legs so hopefully my skin has gotten used to the sun now. Not like a few years ago, that’s for sure. Lots of sunscreen 50 block and i am still tanning.. he he he he..minus the blisters.
Family Stuff: Lily and Robert are doing great. Lily is already 4 months going on 5 on the 20th of July. Robert will be 4 in August.. Man where does the time go by? Gotta take more picutres and post them to the net to capture both of them at their young age. Before i know it, they will be heading to college somewhere in the USA.
Summer month ahead and toward the fall: Work work and more work for me till at least mid September where I will then most likely take time off and head state side once again to visit family and friends. Will know more around August as there will be myself, Hanna, Lily, Robert and Tiia coming this time.. 5 persons.. uuugh already.
Promises, promises, promises.. I will write more.. just when is another story. =)
