Home sweet hjem

Where to start? We’re in, for one thing. In our apartment, in the right time zone, in the system (Karel got his own personal ID number in the mail the other day.  I, on the other hand, am still blatantly an immigrant.) Things are slowly falling into place, e.g.,  while sitting on a Turkmen rug supported by pillows  in African made cases felt kind of exotic, it’s nice to have a couch (thanks to a kind co-worker of Bjørn’s). And I think our days of rationing out underwear are over, now that our washing machine is in place.

‘Up North’

Thanks for your patience with us –hoping to post pics and such a bit more regularly now that things have settled down. ‘Settled down’ meaning we safely landed in Norway about 2 weeks ago, after a rather dramatic exit. Many, many thanks to everyone who helped get things sorted out before we left and cleaned up our mess after we left. Room and board is always available and free Chez Lyngstad!

Holiday Highlights (Jula 2009)

Some highlights from the festive season at the Leyrer’s in Milwaukee.

Karel the Farmer

Off the bucket list…

….Oh wait, a half-marathon was never ON the bucket list.  Somehow Bionic Bjørn talked/challenged me into this running madness.
