Out of time....

-
I have only known for about a year I was going "Home" to Texas...for my 20 year reunion.. (how is that possible?)

In 12 very short days I will be on the plane homeward bound... & I have a million things to do.

Not only do I have to get everything in my office ready... I need to get everything ready for Bjørn to take care of the kids for 10 days without me...: ) Can you say WOO HOO?

The detailed shopping list I was going to have ready before I went?...not even started... well except Dane's wish list... Sloppy Joe Mix & Cheez itz..???

I have 10 short days in the U.S to see E V E R Y O N E 5 days in Houston & 4 days Kansas City.
(I am going to need a vacation from my vacation!)

3 days doing reunion stuff... CAN NOT WAIT... 2 days with my older sister....
4 days with my mom & dad all to myself... (can not remember the last time THAT happened)

So now y'all know why I am M.I.A....

Take care of you and your crew. Then, enjoy your time alone no matter how crazy busy it is. Have a blast and if you want I'll be happy to help with your shopping list.

Is peanut butter something you need? How about pudding and jello? Ketchup? I know those were a few things that were difficult to get in Italy that were missed.

So when you come back to the states for a visit, do you have an empty bag just for the things you want to bring back that you can't get in Norway?

Cheez-it's and sloppy joe mix are SO worth the $30 checked bag fee (then again, that a lot of cheez-its and sloppy joe mix....) : )

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
