Gottne, Ångermanland, Sweden

 
Me in Marie's old house

Kitties need a coffe break too

Old pocket watches found in a dresser drawer

This is an old notebook I found in the same bureau. It says "Nils Julius Söderström is the rightful owner of this book, 1894" He was my Great Great Grandfather, my Mom's Mom's Dad's Dad!
 

From my Great Grandfathers highschool grades.
"Rules för school youths.
1. Behavior in the home.
Help your parents! Be nice to your brothers and sisters! Make your parents happy!
2. Behavior in the school.
Show respect and obedience to your teachers! Observe the school rules! Carry out all your school work meticulously! Do not destroy or write on the schools belongings! Confess your offense, and never let someone else be punished in your place! Be polite and friendly with your school mates! Do not show malice during play! Do not laugh at your school mates and do not give them nicknames!"
