End of summer

We are well into September and many of us are longing for those sunny summer days of camp. Recently I received new pictures of the progress being made on our first cabin. I've posted these pictures under the 'Vi bygger' section of the website, and I invite you to go take a look.

Here in Saint Paul I still see many Swedish friends on a regular basis. On Sunday I met Magnus for breakfast at IKEA, and on Thursdays I sing with Sandra in the Swedish women's group The Cloudberries. Our Swedish preschool program, Barndalen, started up last week, and it's great to see so many young children learning Swedish. Did you know our teachers in that program are 2 former Sjölunden counselors?

A new young peoples group called På Gång has started up at the American Swedish Institute. Sandra, who leads the group, told me we had nearly 30 members! And most of them are Sjölunden villagers! Way to go!

Keep watching the Sjölunden website for some fall activities, including some fun Swedish tv shows you can watch on your computer. We'll keep updating the site throughout the year!
