Only in Norway....

-
Only in Norway could my front door stand
W.I.D.E. O P E N the entire night
& nothing BAD happen... nothing gone missing.. the 3 of us are still alive & kicking.... lucky we didn't get any animals in the house...

then again ONLY in Norway... would your neighbors let your door stand
W.I.D.E. O P E N the entire night NOT come over to tell you... hrmpf...
They were probably wonding what the crazy American was doing... airing my house out?

I thought it was a little chilly in the house last night.... that's what I get for sending my 10 year old down to check things out.... my bad...

Hope y'all have a SUPER weekend...

I say the same thing about our little town. We have left the garage door up over night. We have left keys in the door over night. You name it, we've done it. And like you...nothing happened. : )

Our little town is still that way.When we bought our old house it didn't have any locks on the doors or windows,still doesn't on the windows!Almost everyone in our town will tell you they hardly ever lock their doors!Sigh.. I hope it stays this way.

I used to live in the Bootheel of Missouri and we never locked our front door. I never locked my car either. And nothing ever happened.

With all of the rattlers that are out right now not to mention the bobcat my neighbors saw on their property last week, I think my hair just got a little grayer.

Wow!

We don't even have a deadbolt on our front door - that shocks me. You need to get Dane a guitar or drum set. Es plays guitar and trumpet and we have neighbors dropping by all the time to tell us to close our back door and windows!

It can be safe even in the 'burbs. Many a time I have left the house. With the front door wide open. Just the storm door there. Or the sliding glass doors open, with just the screen. Not on purpose, mind you...

Oh we have so done that before...I've waken in the morning to find the front door open or the back door...but we live in the middle of the woods with no neighbours looking into our house...but I was surprised too we didn't have a mouse family move in...or deer...or badgers..or something...probably didn't like the odor from the tennis shoes in the entry way..hahahahaha..

Oh wow... that would make me a tad nervous to have it open all night... though I'm sure the same thing would happen here - that is NOTHING!

You really can put a price on safety... :)

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...
