Whewwwww!! Let me take off my shoes, get comfy and tell ya,,,,10,316 posts ( insert every crazy smily face here ). It has been one heck of a few crazy months, and am I glad to be back home. Here at home and back at the Stew!!
Well KB and I moved to Tønsberg, after a few trips back and forth from Lofoten to here, then my voyage across the big bad pond to America for a month, I am back and not going anywhere for a very long while!
I got to see my grandchildren, and one i had never met! Ohhhh I am so in love with them. (but ya know its good to be back home to,,,um,,,quiet again,,lol)
KB told me I am never to leave again, because he didn't know the first thing to do with out me, (that was our first vacation apart) lol, gotta teach him a few things i guess,,,lol. Balder was lost as well, and sulked and cried. I had to talk to him on the phone just to calm him,,,,,ohhh geez,,,poor dog.
But anyways,,,,,,,,
HI EVERYONE!!! I MISS ALL OF YOU SO MUCH AND SO, SO GLAD TO BE BACK HOME ON THE STEW!!!

'Bout time you got home and back on here. Been just too quiet without you.
Strange  but this morning I was out pulling up some Dandelions before they went to seed and found myself thinking "Biita is home"
Hope you have lots of pictures of your stay here in the states and also of your new home. Off to look for a map of Norway to see where you are now.

**hugs** Glendann, its good to be back! I do have a bad habit of taking off and not letting all my moms at the stew know where i am,,,lol. but when we moved we didn't have internet for a while and with the holidays it took longer. then i left to visit family so no time for the net. but i am so glad to be back!
I forgot to say above that my son is back from Iraq and he also came to visit me and his sister in America, so it was a very nice family get together.

Lol,,,Toni, the dandelions get me everytime. I acually got my granddaughters to help me harvest some and we put in the salad. they loved it!
As far as being to quiet on here,,,lol, give a sec, I'll be back to normal in a few,,,,(then running for cover as usual)
Thank you Playtime, i sure did miss everyone, and it has been a huge adventure. (after living a quiet life in the Arctic, to not sitting still) but i loved every minute of it!

But no more 'being at the end of the driveway when darkness falls' adventures to read about from the frozen arctic now.
Will you be gardening like before? Does KB like his new job?
10,316 posts to catch up on, never realized we talked that much in just a little less than 4 months.

**sigh** ohh i know Toni, I am going to miss the uniqueness of the Arctic. Now I'll be just like Droopy....(ducking already and ready to run)
But you know, now that i live in the south of Norway, i know nothing about warm to hot weather gardening. (warm to hot? Norway? Alabama heat baked my brain i think,,,lol) you know anything over 15 C or 60 F is hot to me. but i will need help, its basically a open yard here, with little or few plants. And since i have never been a gardener in the flower department of gardening, thank goodness the stew is here.

Geez,,,lol, i am trying to type with a 150 lb rottweiler in my lap. (its not working to well)
KB loves his new job. A friend of his who is in the music business is teaching him how to mix and produce CD's. KB did this yrs ago, so its kind of old hat to him. BUT!! He is also involved with the Viking group here as a hobby not a job now.

I was going to ask how the 'old Viking' was doing, glad he was able to keep connected to what he enjoyed doing so much before.
Balder really missed you and is just making sure you don't go anywhere without him again. And he won't fall for that snacks by his bed so you can sneak out while he is sleeping again

 Biita  Soooo pleased you're back with us all again.  Things just haven't been the same without you here at The Stew.
I was watching a programme on TV the other night where Joanna Lumley was doing a programme about the North of Norway and the Northern Lights. She was in Lofoten and I couldn't help thinking about you while I was seeing it.
WELCOME HOME!!!
