Steve Jobs: “You can’t connect the dots looking forward you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path.”

Lowlands 2014, ready to PARTYYYYY!!

August 15th, 2014 on 17:32

It is *that* time of year, the weekend of all weekends, Lowlands 2014 is here!!
We have followed a proven concept; started the day nice and sweet, feeling happy that last nights rain clouds have vanished and today the sun will be doing its best to warm us up, as always we are packed to travel light (and probably still have too much with us), had hardly any traffic on the way to the festival terrain and we are feeling secured with our ‘set-up-the-tent-within-10-minutes’ talent…Lowlands 2014; here we ARE and we are ready to PARTYYYYY!! 🙂

Sun, fun, music, friends, drinks and then some…rock on, HELL YEAHHHH!!!

 
PS. join us in some freaky sun dances and voodoo tricks to make sure that the predicted rain will not fall!! 🙂

Misha’s Birthday on September 29 is only 1,5 months away (ain’t time flying!!) and I have been planning to give him his first ‘real’ bicycle for his third Birthday. Summer though is a much better season for cycling than autumn, particularly in Norway as rainy days are high on the probability list in the few months before snow comes to town, so I gave him an early Birthday present last week. He was sooooo happy, ha even now, days after he got it, a ‘Look daddy what I got…beautiful eh?’ is the first thing he says when he enters the living room in the early morning! Feels good! 🙂

He didn’t have any problem mastering the bicycle, and I believe he will get rid of the extra side-wheels sooner than later, my little angel is on a mission haha! 🙂
