Sitting here with my freshly brewed cup of coffee -
...here's to you and here's to 40 years of conversations unfolding, stories being shared and ideas being hatched - all over a cup of coffe... from Starbucks Tribute Blend 40 years togheter - Congratulation!
- and a freshly baked cupcake
...I found this blog - Passion 4 Baking - and I just had to try to make some cupcakes - I did not have the absolute ingredients - so I used maple syrup instead of corn syrup and cane sugar insted of sugar - Delicious!
...have a nice day - and enjoy...it's fantastic!
Hello - when did January end - and when did February come? Time runs too fast, nowadays! I'm not in the mood for scrapping or card making or any handcrafts - and thats annoying me!
Well I have been doing some genealogy - we got this Folketelling 1910 / National Census 1910 last month. So I have been checking all my ancestors born in January towards this census...fun! Try it!
This is a beautiful picture of my oldest cousin - Ole Andreas born in 1952. He is a farmer and he loves sport. Last week he made Femundløpet - a "dogsledgerace" - Congratulations!!
It was like this when I started this Sunday! Grrr...
Have a wonderful February - and do not forget to enjoy life!

It's snowing today - the world are just white in hundred of shades!!
Some years ago I got a text in my e-mailbox - I read it and saved it. It came from this site - MADD Drunk Driving. So with MADD's "permision" - here's the text.
I went to a party, And rememered what you said
You told me not to drink, Mum, So I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself, The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive, Though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice, And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended, And the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car, Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mum, Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement, And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Mum, his voice seems far away.
My own blood's all around me, As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say, This girl is going to die.
I'm sure the guy had no idea, While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive, Now I would have to die.
So why do people do it, Mum, Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me, Like a hundred stabbing knives.
Someone should have taught him, That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had, I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mum I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments, And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mum, As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, 'I love you, Mum!' So I love you and good-bye.
MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) IS HOPING TO GET 5,000 SIGNATURES ON THIS
Have a safe and drunk driving free Christmas everyone...and do not forget to enjoy life!
