Elwood's grandfather, Sven Elof Petterson (aka Sam Molberg)
was born in Markaryd on August 24,1869
We met with our relatives here for a lovely salmon dinner at
Grâddhyllan Landcafé Gårdsbutik, Ryd-Tånneryd Markaryd
Birgit, Elwood, Lorraine, Ingemar, Ingrid, Erik, Margareta
They served us the cake very typical for the Småland area
Delicious!
Outside in the garden
The three Swedes
Then we traveled to Ingemar's home in Sjöaryd for coffee
Their homes are in the forests and surrounded by beautiful flowers!
The table was set for coffee
The house was built in the 1850's and
they have retained the incredible character of the home.
We did not go hungry!
Incredible cakes and cinnamon rolls!
The original wood burning stove where the family would bake bread
Elwood's great grandparent's picture was hanging on the wall.
Of course, that is Ingemar's great grandparents too!
The piano room
Lots of visiting in this room in English & Swedish!
Ingemar on violin, Lorraine on piano, others singing.
A great time of making music
Erik looks so much like Elwood's Uncle Ed
Ingemar played the saw for us. Beautiful!
The Småland area
Our great hotel
Stora Hotellet
with the typical, incredible Swedish breakfast!
