  14. Hello Kathryn,
    Am back for the second time around. I am happy to join once again and will see if I can found new meme friend in your participants.

    Funny joining memes and stroll to each and everyone and luckily 2 of your meme players came and visit Stockholm. I guess, they are too scare to travel abroad, LoL* Anyhow, I try my best shot this time.

    Hope you have an enjoyable Monday and week ahead.

    P.S.
    Sweden will celebrate it's National Day on the 6th June, so I am pretty sure to post a typical Swedish day & don't forget, an American will marry our princess of Sweden on the 8th June.

    Greetings,
    /CC girl
