Turne med Mormor: So I leanred how to ride a horse.

The next family member Mormor and I visited was my uncle John and aunt Eivor. They are dentists in a city called Söderhamn which lies on the coast due East of my great uncle Soren.

John and Eivor moved to a farm two years ago, and began riding horses. They now have two horses, Dino and Design, and enjoy their new lifestyle. While we were there, Mormor and I set to work raking the yard and helping with their wood for next season. The weather was 'halv dasit,' which translates to 'half outhouse,' which means that the weather was pretty bad.

During our visit, I got the chance to learn a little bit about horses. Uncle John and I went out on a ride one morning which resulted in a battering of my testicles and sore muscles for two days. I learned that horses are not like cars, they do not always make sense, and you have to take good care of them. The experience was great, and I would like to try riding again, but I have to figure out how to preserve my chances at giving Mormor great grandchildren.

Myself, Uncle John, Aunt Eivor, and Adorable Doris.

The two Johns and Dino. Uncle John and I have fun nicknames since we have the same name. He is called Många John (Many John) and I am called Enkelt John (Single John or Simple John depending on how you look at it).
