I am so excited this week to introduce you to an international blogger.  Her name is Elzie and her blog is Essemia Blog and she lives in Sweden.  I love when I find international bloggers that want to share their culture and life with all of us.  

Enjoy getting to know Elzie.  She is a sweet blogger and then hop over to check out her blog.

Hi! Some time ago I got a note on my blog from Kris that she wanted me to be the blogger of the week in her Spotlight Feature. I really got thrilled!! It had not been on my mind at all, but I must say I was really thrilled about it. And after I said yes, I began to wonder what should I write???? Had no idea, but here I am and you'll have to take me for what I am, lol.

My name is Elzie and I live in Rottne, a small Town in the South of Sweden. Our county is Småland. I'm 60 years old (oh, that sounds SO OLD!) and I'm married to the man of my Life. His name is Ingvar and he's 66. Actually he's retired now, but got back to work for some Days a week. I Think he had a dull time as I'm still working, haha. It's better for him to have something to do cause he's such a energic person.

Here he is with our dog Fia. She's a Welsh Springer Spaniel and she's almost 5 years now. A very spoiled Little dog, haha. She also helps out as soon as there is  food in the kitchen!

Another Picture of our baby.

As we both were a bit older when we met, we have both kids and grandkids on separate sides. I have one daughter that has two daughters, and a son that has one son and one daughter. My DH has a son that's married but have no kids and a daughter that has a son and a daughter. It's only my son that lives nearbye. The others are living both to the North, West  and the South.

This is our house from the garden side. I just love to be in the garden and work and next year will be perfect for that. We've been camping on the same spot for seven years now and to tell the truth, I was very bored the last two years. It was the same people all the time and it can be rather irritating hearing the same things over and over again. But now we've decided we shall go with our Caravan to the North of Sweden and drive around there and look at things. It'll give me more time in the garden and that I love!!

If you wonder why I don't show any Pictures of my family, apart from my DH, I can tell you they don't like to be on blogs or FB. So I just have to accept that I'm afraid.

I work as a staff nurse at a home for the elderly 20 kms from here. I've done that for many years now and I like it, even if it can be rather Heavy from time to time, both for the head and body.

My favorite things to do when I'm free is to work in the garden, as I mentioned, do different kinds of handicraft, take photos, read books, write letters, play with my grandchildren and much more.

I don't know what more to tell you about me, it's Always difficult to talk about one self I Think. Maybe I'll meet you one day on either yours or my blog. Take care everyone and have a great Christmas.

Love Elzie

Thank you Elzie for sharing about yourself and your life in Sweden.
