Summer In Norway Coming to an End ~ August 25th

To say it was a beautiful summer

 would not begin to explain it. It was that

 day when the end of summer intersects

 perfectly with the start of fall...

 Summer in Norway has come is

 soon over of us.  I will not lie, I am

 so happy to be going back home to

 Sniff and back to the USA.  At the same

 time, I will definitely miss everyone. 

 Especially our 3 granddaughters.

Tonight we all gather at Michelle's

 and Emil's.  Always a good time. We

 are looking forward to that. They

 make one good looking family.

I arrived to Norway and was greeted 

at the airport by Arvid and Vanessa, 

our second granddaughter, holding

 up a big sign with a huge smile on

 her face.  I will never forget that

 moment.  It was the best welcome.

We have spent a lot of time with 

family.  The whole point of summer

 in Norway, at the same time it was 

very nice when we had a few moments

 on our own.  Just the two of us. 

The time spent with family has

 been more than what I could have

 hoped for.  I loved every moment.

Last night we enjoyed dinner at Vidar

 (brother) and Siv's home. It was delicious,

 but always the bet times are those when

 we just sit and chat.  Share stories.

Arvid's brother and Siv live in the 

condo that was once their mothers. 

The best location in Horten.

If you want to see one of

 the most scenic places in the

 world, Norway is a must.

I met Arvid in 2000.  When we

 met his routine was to go to Norway

 in May and in the summer.  That year

 he asked me to go with him, but I

 said no.  Too soon. But from 2001,

 I have been coming to Norway 

with him  I have been fortunate

 in so many ways.  Grateful.

Morning is here.  A good day 

awaits us with everyone together. 

Time spent with family is good.

Another summer has come 

and gone, leaving behind 

some sweet memories...
