I have my Dad’s burial flag, dog tags, hat, and medals in a display case on top of a bookcase beside me! He is long gone now, but I will never forget what he sacrificed for our country, and the rest of the free world…
When I lived in Germany and needed something, the answer was commonly “Morgen”, which I soon realised was the German equivalent of “mañana”, but without mañana’s connotations of urgency…
Well, you did pick up some bits and pieces. Remember, I said “I grew up with a bunch of Swedes trying to keep secrets from the kids. Little did they know…”
So, “Egentligen är jag mestadels svenska och min brud 44 plus år är irländsk / tysk med en liten American Indian…” translates from Swedish to English as “Actually, I’m mostly Swedish and my bride of 44 plus years is Irish/German with a bit of American Indian…”

<>Gee, I wish I could understand what is being presented. Am I missing-out on “something” very important?
Ha ha, are you wishing you paid a little more attention when you took that foreign language class in high school?
I took Spanish and German and wish I could recall just a small portion of what I was taught some 50 plus years ago!
Also, I grew up with a bunch of Swedes trying to keep secrets from the kids. Little did they know…
