Guess who's coming to town? Obama WOW...the surprise that went around the world today. never mind politics, I am just excited that the President of the United States is coming to Oslo... I am excited for my children.. kinda like both of their worlds are meeting for the rest of the world to see & have already decided to take them down to Oslo for the big day... Are you wondering WHY the Nobel Peace prize is handed out in Oslo & not in Stockholm with the rest of the prizes? The reason why Norway distributes a part of the prize is that at the time of Alfred Nobel's death, Norway and Sweden were joined together in a personal union known as the Swedish-Norwegian Union . [3] [4] (ya, I totally had to look that up, but at least I am learning something everyday...) Gonna leave you with my Favorite Norwegian band at the moment... (they have some pretty good music over here...)- wondering if DONKEYBOY has made it over to the states? Enjoy...have a great weekend!
