It’s been some time since I last wrote, but so much has happened, that I have been so very very busy with personal and business related items, that I just did not have enough time to write. No more excuses. First thing is first, as I am saddened by the loss of my grandfather on May 25th. I will miss him very much. =(
Work has been quite interesting as they have me creating training material. Interesting and at first did not like it too much, but now that I have been doing it for over a month now, it is quite a large challenge to create something that someone else will be using to read and understand how something works. I just hope that they do not ask me to start training people because that is something that I do not want to do, period. I am totally not interested in teaching others something I really know nothing about.
But now on to some kewl news as I will be going home to California for 3 weeks at the end of June and two weeks in July!. I am so looking forward to this trip. Nice weather, sunshine (that doesn’t come up at 4:30am and sets at 10pm – that is how it is in Helsinki during the main summer months here) and good friends and family. You can’t ask for much more than that.
Summer time here in Finland has hit us quite early, as there really wasn’t any spring time weather, with rain and wind. I am not complaining as the temperatures here have been climbing since the middle of May and have been averaging around 20* to 25* centigrade (around 70* f to 75* f). I think this summer will be a great one. I am also planning a trip to Prague with some friends here in August, so that should be an experience for sure. I will be the first SRAMEK to go back to Prague since my great, grandfather when he left to live in Russia. (little family history there.) So I will take plenty of pictures with the new digital camera for sure on both of my trips, and will try to post my California trip during those three weeks in June and July! Hopefully I will be able to write again before I leave for my summer holiday!

more to come soon…
