Place a ribbon on your blog…

Thanks to our very own Nikkicrumpet at

<

I happened to discover a beautiful blog that made me very emotional!!

During our busy days we don’t always STOP and think of everyone that WISH they were at work today.. instead of in their bed, or at a hospital or some kind of clinic trying to recover from some kind of illness….

I have made a few stops in my life… I have lost family-members, and I fear loosing friends, it just doesn’t matter IF they are family OR friends OR strangers even… I just wish there was NO such thing as CANCER!! and of course other things that are life threatening…

ANYWAY

I happened to stumble upon

Elisabeth and Roy’s blog over at roy's progress!

Please go there.. Elisabeth must be one of the most generous people I have “met”.. she’s even having a GREAT give-away

After seeing these I hope you would really like to come to Norway ;-)

They are all from my area… You got to love the nature here…

 My people bought a new couch.. and I am not allowed on it no more… but they bought me my own.. I like it! :-)IM000086

Allright, outside and with no flash .. it’s ok..

I got a frame from my moms family in the USA, and I love it.. my people even had photos of me taken at the photographer.. they took me along when they had their picture taken last year.

But, I am still hoping ;-)

♥ cuddle-with-ME ♥

♥ LEXI ♥

SUSAN, I did it!!!! :-)

Hi Susan… and everybody else :-)

Susan - over at Susan's Colorful Life - in all her kindness sent me her recipe for chocolate chip cookies :-)

ccc 003

We don’t make those cookies over here… some claim they do, but they just don’t taste the same as the real deal from the USA.

ccc 006

I have tried many different recipes, but never found one that I really like…

ccc 009

TODAY.. YES, on a monday , I made cookies

ccc 010

I had the day off… this was not the plan, but some changes were made due to sick-leave at work… and rearranging of hours :-)

ccc 011

I am a happy camper because of it though… I had today off, and will work thursday instead..

ccc 012

I have been cleaning the house and doing the laundry (again)… made dinner and finally made some cookies

ccc 013

I just threw in some chocolate and nuts.. I think I should have put a little bit more in..

ccc 014

BUT, everybody just LOVED them Susan.. a huge success!!!

THANK YOU!

I bought spring!

Hi

During the winter months.. the sun is so low… that it disappears behind the mountains, and we are left in “darkness” for a while….

001

BUT now it’s back.. and boy did that feel good.. even if it’s just a few glimps of it per day…

002

Yesterday was sunny and COLD! Today we got warmer weather and wind (this makes the snow go away so quickly it’s amazing!)

BUT we have a storm coming.. and tonight I am sitting her listening to the wind

004

I have lit beautiful candles…with real fragrances in them.. aren’t they good looking??

008

AND I BOUGHT SPRING

012

Arent they lovely!?

011

If you ever feel down about the weather… light some candles and get the fireplace going… and buy yourself some spring flowers!!

aaangel155

It works….. it brings a little sunshine inside :-)

And as fast as time flies.. summer is upon us before we know it!
