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...

Your opinion matters....American, Norwegian or just Me?

Your opinion matters... I want you to be honest...seriously... I would even like all of the lurkers to comment..because I really..R E A L L Y want to know... is it Norwegian, American or just me? For 12 years Bjørn and I have had a disagreement... which I doubt we will E V E R... E V E R..agree on... The problem with being a multi-cultural family is this... anytime there is something you don't like... it is very EASY to say that something is VERY NORWEGIAN... or AMERICAN... but then again it could be just me.... There have been a lot of things I have disliked here(in Norway) which I have muttered under my breath ... "that is sooo Norwegian..." when in all actuality... it is just " soooo my husbands family...." (I am sure he thinks the same about Americans/my family....) OK the question is this..... What are your thoughts on people dropping in on you unexpected? Bjørn thinks it's KOSELIG ... (nice)... I think, its.... RUDE ... & it pisses me off....

Wow... to say I am excited to have my SITSta's here today is an UNDERSTATEMENT... I am SOO EXCITED! I even threw a little leopard print under my welcome sign for y'all.. When I found out y'all were coming over today I thought I'd whip up some " Hors d'oeuvres " .. a little Norwegian Salmon, Caviar, a lovely Cream Cake... and some real Norwegian Aquavit to wash it down... But then I figured heck, this is going to be a one time deal right? I might as well go all out ..& SPLURGE .. nothing but the best for my SITStas .. So I grabbed the kiddies & made a "run for the border".... (Swedish border that is) & decided to pick up some real delicacies... Oh ya, after only a 30 min drive across the border, I am able to pick up favorites such as the $15 can of "Spray Cheese" umm , a $40 case of Mountain Dew... or & don't forget the HO HO's for a mere $25... (they are all IMPORTED=FANCY..) See...anything for you, my new...
