Oh yes! Another Great Sign!

It’s kind of interesting that yesterday I journey to Sweden and today’s funny sign can be found on the front door of Ikea.

Really?  Weapon free environment?  How many stores are not weapon free!??!?!?!  Sure, you have pawn shops, gun stores, Wal-Mart…  but really Ikea??? 

BTW, the Swedish meatballs and mashed potatoes EXCELLENT!

Taking a Virtual Vacation

In a previous version of MagnusonHouse I was building a virtual vacation around the world. For different reasons I’ve abandoned that journey.  But I think now it’s time to start up my virtual vacation once again!!  Today we’re visiting Kristianstad, Sweden.  My husband’s family has direct ties back to Sweden as his grandfather came here to the United States as a young man.  By the time I moved to California Harry (Erwin’s Grandfather) had developed some dementia so I didn’t really know the amazing man I understand him to be.

Enjoy the view:

Remember Sweden is 9 hours later than SoCal
If you’re curious to where Kristianstad, Sweden is, it’s the red dot near the coast:
