A Little Beach Bungalow

myscandinavian home blog

I am moving to Uruguay

to live in this little beach bungalow...

it's perfect

no electricity

no problem

i love burning candles

no running water

might be a problem

since i cannot go without shaving my legs

everyday

but there is always the ocean

population

95

since i am a hermit

this would be perfect

atlantic ocean

not the indian ocean

which is where i have always wanted to go

did you see top gun?

indian ocean

it sounds so romantic...

of course,

my hubby is invited

i couldn't live without him

and his ability to make me laugh at everything...

and the kids are invited

we would build them their own bungalow

wink, wink

Happy Monday

wishing I was in Uruguay

wherever that is...

If I had

a money tree in my back yard

written all over it...

Happy Weekend...

Let the Games Begin

Gap

Gap

I am so excited for the Olympics this year.

Go USA...

I have one little confession to make,

I will be cheering for Roger Federer in tennis...

Please don't hate me

other than that,

it's all about the USA kicking butt

I love the vintage Olympic t shirts from Gap

and

I swore I would never make another sugar cookie in my life,

but how cute are these

Olympic cookies?

Petie

I want to...

grow these

moon and star watermelons

wear this maxi dress

from anthropology

 read this book

just because of the title

to visit this place

What do you want to do?

I Spy...

a window open

and its July in Arizona

this is why I live in the desert

the smell is intoxicating

Love it...

Abraham Lincoln was a Wise Man

You cannot bring about prosperity

 by discouraging thrift.

 You cannot strengthen the weak by

weakening the strong.

You cannot help the wage earner

by pulling down the wage payer.

You cannot further the brotherhood of man

 by encouraging class hatred.

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.

You cannot keep out of trouble

by spending more than you earn.

You cannot build character and courage

by taking away man's initiative and independence.

You cannot help men permanently

by doing for them what they

 could and should do for themselves.

Abraham Lincoln

Happy Independence Day!

I love this country that I was born and raised in,

now, more than ever.
