I is for IKEA... ICE Cream & INDIA...

-
I ... lets see.. You can't live in Scandinavia .. and come up with a list of  I word's that wouldn't include
IKEA...
pretty sure they would deport me.. if I didn't mention
IKEA
(even though it has NOTHING to do with NORWAY.)
Norwegians love IKEA as much as you!

What is it about this SWEDISH Superstore..??

ICE CREAM-- 
and not just any ice cream.. NORWEGIAN ICE CREAM
it is FAN TAS TIC..
Norway has awesome dairy products..!
& Norwegians LOVE their ICE CREAM..
FOR REAL..


It is NOT unusual for the Ice Cream truck to be driving up and down the streets in the middle of
WINTER..

and finally...

I is for INDIA..
Back in the day... hubby and I really got around..
(although - he didn't make it to India with me..)
What a FASCINATING country..
It was everything- and nothing like I imagined..
We were lucky enough to have a private guide who took us through Mumbai
for 2 days...

someday.. I will get around to blogging to all of the amazing places I have been blessed to see..


Sari shopping...

I've never been to Ikea. Or India for that matter. I would love a sari, to hide the hips and butt.

Funny, when in Norway last summer we went to Ikea, not once, but twice! And it felt like a little betrayal to all things Norwegian! And, we LOVED, LOVED, LOVED the ice cream in Southern Norway (Henig Olsen?) It was better than the other major brand up North. My daughter ate the "friskis" flavor every.single.day. and sometimes twice!
Love your posts, as usual.

confession... I have never ever stepped foot inside of an Ikea! There wasn't one near me when I lived in Texas and the one in Dublin opened about a week after I moved to France and somehow my husband has kept me away from one here... but not for long... I need a new couch and it's the perfect excuse!

Glad my snapshot has gotten some more love. ;)
Enjoying the tour of the ABCs. Wish I had thought to join in on the fun myself. I might just do it later on my own for the fun of it.

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...
