Midsommar hemma i Djupeträsk nån gång på slutet av 60-talet!!! Många härliga minnen som dyker upp när jag tittar på kortet. En av tjejerna på kortet var faktiskt och hälsade på här i California för ett par år sedan, det är kul att vi fortfarande har kontakt efter alla desa år! Hoppas att ni har en God och Glad Midsommar!<br />
