1a. Enjoying my fave songs from this band, Mr. Big. Here's one KEWL video, To Be With You. I LOVE Eric Martin's voice!!! MMMMMMMMMMMM...
1b. Watching a perfectly cloudless, starry sky and a crescent from our apt. window. SUCH a lovely, lovely night!
2. Watching thick fog in the early morning. It was breathtaking!!!
3. Having a chance to pick lingonberries on such a SUNNY day!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY!!!
4. My mother-in-law's thoughtfulness. She asked me if I got tired after berry picking and then she offered us food. Again!
5. My mother-in-law's delicious chicken curry. VERY spicy!!! YUM!!!
6. My mother-in-law gave us a KILO of reindeer/moose meat. It's marinaded already, so I don't have to slice up the meat or process it. Plus we can't really afford buying that much reindeer meat, so I TRULY appreciate it!!! HALLELUJAH for wonderful mother-in-laws!!! God bless her!
7. Saw two MOST BEAUTIFUL deer in the forest right after we finished picking up the berries. I'd seen other deer before, but those two made me feel like I was in a Fairy Tale land. As if I were Snow White who went to the forest to pick berries and play with the deer. I LOVE this lifeeeeeeeee!!! ^____________________________^
8. Receiving SMS from my future sister-in-law he he he he...
9. Having a chance to chat with two of my closest friends today via YM. YEEEESSSSSSSSSS!!!
10. Hubby drove me to the supermarket today to buy food plus ICE-CREAM!!! I'm going to eat it later tonight. And being grateful that there's a regular un-pricey supermarket which is open every Sundays in this little village. YIIIPPPPPPPPPPIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!! ;-D
WHOOPS!!! Almost forgot this one...
11. Hubby downloaded a movie I had wanted to download, so I could watch it already on Friday. That day was his gaming day at his cousin's house, but he spent a minute to send me a very sweet SMS. I LOVE that guy!!! ;-D

Lingonberry Picking
YYYYYYYEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS!!! I could finally do lingonberry picking yesterday with my mother-in-law. Gladly I had brought with me a pair of waterproof pants and a pair of warmer long john pants. Plus I also brought my digicam, though at first I wasn't going to bring it. Yesterday started off beautifully though it was only 9'C. Then the sun shone more brightly, so after a delicious lunch, we set off to the forest. It was around 12'C under the sun. This time I was sure I would pick the right berries since there were no other similar berries with similar colours in the forest. Here are some pics of the forest:
The above pic is a pic of my in-laws, hubby, and the tractor they used to bring the firewood home. They only cut the fallen trees to make firewood.
You'd better click on the above pic to see the bigger version. As you can see in the bigger version, there are lots of berries surrounding the stump. There are lots of stumps like this and usually there are LOADS of berries surrounding them. I wonder why he he he...That's why I LOVE coming near stumps like this one. I only needed to squat (I prefer to squat while picking the berries since bending down too long hurts my back) and move around and pick, pick, pick!!! ;-D It felt GOOODDDDD, baby, to pick SO many berries in a short time HE HE HE HE...LOL!!!
We were in the forest for about 1.5 hours and we've got 3 buckets full of lingonberries. YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!! My mother-in-law shrieked gleefully and said, "Good girl!" and then she said some other stuff in Finnish. I didn't get each word, but I thought she said, "Three buckets full!" Then she also told her husband gleefully that I got a bucket full of lingonberries hi hi hi hi hi...She must've been so proud of me HE HE HE HE...
Last but not least...two pics of moi!!! ;-D
The below pic was just taken for fun he he he...LOOK!!! The lingonberry could substitute my beauty spot!!! LOL!!! ;-D

Weekend Photos
Just wanna share some pics again in this post.
First pic: LINGONBERRIES!!! They're about the same size as blueberries. I tried one and it tasted sour. However, I found that lingonberry skin was actually a bit harder to chew than blueberry skin. Blueberry skin "melts" easily. You don't have to really chew it, but you have to chew lingonberry skin. It's not THAT hard, but still not as soft as blueberry skin. ----> I didn't get to the forest 'coz it was SO cold (8'C), but I saw a bucket of lingonberries, so I took a pic of them. ;-D
Second pic: Grinning me, right after sauna, about to eat the delicious sausage (with mustard) and ruisleipä (rye bread) with cheese. YUM, YUMMMMMMMMM!!!
More pics: Just some road trip pics I took.
I LOVEEEEEEEEEE passing by a wide open field like the one below.
Here're two more flower pics I took sometime ago:
