If you don't have anything nice to say....

-
As my mamma always says..."If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all..."

Not that either of us have ever lived by that advice... but i thought today I would try....
(and keep my mouth shut...)

As you know.. this week I am in my mid winter blues... a funk....


trying to find things to life my spirit.... what makes me happy?
Hmmm... Taking pictures make me happy....
But I tend not to take pictures in the winter....not unless I have to.
I like natural light, and in Norway, good natural light in the winter, is hard to find...



My plan this month, is to get some of my favorite photos printed out & actually framed.. before I end up losing them all AGAIN...








I found these little diddies...(actually I found about 600 I would like to share.. but I will spare you...)

Which remind me of SUMMER & SUN & WARMTH & ICE CREAM & CORN ON THE COB....... YUM...



Summer is on its way....RIGHT?

Your babies have beautiful blue eyes! I've always been a fan of black and whites, but only color would do those beauties justice.

Man your kids have fantastic eyes! Thank you so much for the post on my blog and the words of encouragement. We are planning on seeing lots of the country when we come, so Fredrickstad is for sure on my list. It's a comfort knowing there's another American dealing with all the goods and bads of living in Norway.

Great pics- I do the whole winter funk thing too, that's why I moved to Florida when I left Alaska.

Are his eyes really that blue? Truly stunning.

I'm in a funk over here, too - something about cold dirty air and that burning coal smell. Just hang in - spring is coming.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
