Fika and Hammarberg

We have made a wonderful discovery and it is called fika (pronounced feeka) and it is a coffee break, it is a break from work. A time to sit down with family and friends to drink coffee and have a bun. Kris, Mom and I have decided that we love fika and are going to make time for it every day.

While we're on the subject of good things, I want to share with you another wonderful dinner that we had on our little porch at our stuga (cottage). This is a pretty typical meal, usually served at breakfast but we like it best in the evening with beer or wine. The jar is pickled herring with mustard......really delicious!

Falun is known for its mines, particularly copper mines. They have produced 2/3 of the copper for the world. Anyway, Mom picked up this brochure at the copper museum on iron mining and looked who she found inside.....
Lars Erik Hammarberg. He is second from the left. Is he a relative???? I know that Hammarberg is the former spelling of Hammerberg. Does he look like a relative???? Let me know what you think.
