...no scrapping no more...?

It's been a long time since I posted in my blog.  Times change...will I ever scrap again?  I hope so...but not just now!  That I know for sure.  I know that my house, my home will take a lot of my hours the next few years...I lived here since 1992...so some new paint and other adjustments are needed!


This is Evja...one of the most peaceful places on earth.  No wonder why so many left the Nordre Osdalen to find happiness and joy other places...in other countries...with other people!
Still, it's my place...a place that's - for me - represent freedom and health.  A place where I can sit still and do my genealogy.  A place we siblings inherited from my mother.  I am so grateful to her for letting us bring this wonderful place to the next generation.  Thank you.

 


Happy Birthday you our Crown Princ Haakon Magnus...yesterday he had a party at Skaugum...his residence.  I had one too.  A party...my mother and my brother for supper.  Enjoy...
 

This is some of my porch...I have too much flowers this year...but last year and the year before that again...all my flowers drowned...it was just too much rain...but now it's warm and sunny...I love it!


You see the "saltbalje"...salttub?  It belonged to my grandmother Mimi Martinsdaughter.  She had hams in the tub...covered the ham with salt...then it became smoked ham.  I rememer her doing this...that's a very long time ago...before 1965...she died that year.


I hope Jan-Nichlas will come home soon...I know his a clever big boy...working and earning money...then he can lay down - Kit; is that right? - and read all his sience fiction books on my day bed...looking foreward to seeing him soon.
 
Have a wonderful day...enjoy every minute of it...it will not come back...
