re-learning how to count... i svenskt!
I'm doing some research for the novel and got to re-learn my long-lost Svenskt counting skills.
Here's 1-10:
Ett! Två! Tre! Fyra! Fem! Sex! Sju! Åtta! Nio! Tio!
Pronounciations are harder than I remember when I was a kid... and the online guides I was listening to just don't sound like Grandpa. Who to go with? I suppose it doesn't really matter how I pronounce them, though, since novels are read, not an oral dissertation. Sometimes, though, I wish everyone who reads my stuff reads it as I do. I would love to read it to them with the proper inflections and some beefy storytelling skills. I don't know if I could bear someone butchering the parts I love.
In the spirit of posting more pictures rather than less, I thought these six eggs from my mother country would be inspiring to a new generation of Swedes. Am I right?

well since my phone decided to stop working for who knows long, I'll just leave you another message on here. By the way, I am still thankful that Blue Laws still exist in Indiana...haha. It's 11:42 and my folks are already asleep, the joys of roadtripping with the family. Hopefully my phone works tomorrow, and I pray that you make it safely home tonight. I'll talk to you later, take care.
