Looking for the SUN...

-
During a Scandinavian winter.... you take the sun.. any chance you can get...
Seriously... if the sun starts to peak out.. from under the heavy winter clouds...
 I feel the urge to run outside.. regardless of what I am doing...
 I am not even joking...
It doesn't even have to be a full on, grab your sunglasses kind of sun ray... at this point..
beggars can not be choosers..
I was on my way on home from a meeting this afternoon.. and I saw a ray peaking out..
my first thought.. where can I stop and get as close as possible...
drove right past my neighborhood to a dock..
I was soo worried I might miss said sun.. I took some pictures on the road...
 through my dirty windshield - nice effect no?
This is HIGH NOON here in Norway... 
 You can understand why we appreciate light this time of year...

It was so quiet and peaceful out at the dock...
& I couldn't help thinking that the heavy winter clouds are like most of our HEARTS these days...
hopefully, very soon.. we will see that one ray of sunshine - which will help us feel better about the world where we are raising our children .

There is trouble in the world, but your beautiful photos bring pleasure and hope in the midst of it. Thank you for finding a way to snap that photo of the sunshine peeking through. Love the boats in the water, too.

I lived six years in Dublin and always dreaded winter... it was light from 9am - 3pm, but not even sunny, just a white, grey sky. It was horrible.
I hope the sun shines for you soon :)

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...
