Hi Rp.
Sweden is indeed a constitutional monarchy.
But the royal family are basically promotional ambassadors for the country,
going all around the world and promoting Sweden and keeping connection open.
Some say that it is costing too much for what it is worth,
but at least the keep their business clean. No scandals so far.

I had an email today from Bob (Bolor to those who knew him here in the Shang, famous for his hot chocolate drink the Bolor Special) in Timmins. He and his wife are both doing well as he noted in the email which included some 'Maxine' cartoons for SAP which he still reads daily. I was glad to hear from him. We have not met again since that first visit In Penticton about five years ago.

Good to hear, Don. I was wondering about him, along with Lois (lotus) and a few others that have been silent here in The Shang for years.

Marc, the last email I had from Lois, she said she had cancer and did not expect to survive as it was discovered too late. That was right after she moved to Salt Spring Island. I have heard nothing since. I still have the photo she sent me to resize for a thread here many years ago.

Yes, I had a PM saying the same thing, but I still wonder whatever happened to her. C'est la vie.

Good night, Caman. Hopefully, one of us shall have a classic TGIF Breakfast ready when the rest of the Shang family falls out of bed.

Time for me to pull the pin. The doxies have a built-in alarm clock and they are up at 7AM sharp every morning. See you all tomorrow. Paix, mes amis.
