The holidays are here! California - great place in the winter.

We are finally here - the flight over from Europe went fine with Lufthansa, and it was a good choice to take a direct flight from Frankfurt. It went faster than expected, and when we arrived in Los Angeles, Veronica, Joseph and Otelia were greeting us at the airport  - we got us quickly back to Burbank. It's fun to be back here, and now we can celebrate Otelia's 5 year Birthday, and Haloween, we will travel to San Francisco and have some days with Liecel & Matt and his family. We have visited The school here in Burbank, and there has been many activities in connection with Haloween, the neighbors had a party last night, with the carving of pumpkins. Grandmother baking and make cakes, we'll fix the garden furniture, everything is ok in a summer vacation in the winter! Tomorrow Otelia turns 5, and it is going to be a great day!

This weekend we visited Emil and family in Bodø, a lot of activities...

This weekend we went to visit Emil and his family. We started with a party in kindergarten, (job for Emil), and there was much singing and music, with the kids, and coffee with cakes.  Then Saturday it was the distribution of 4 yrs book in Rønvik Church, where Emil got his book, and while we participated in baptism - Elvira were baptized during family worship. Then after, Emil really wanted to go skiing, and he did, just before the snow disappeared in the rain, in front of the house on green grass and a little snow!

The winter is on the way - we had visitors, Emil and Marielle

Emil and Marielle visited us from Tuesday to Wednesday and then it was some work out with nails and saw. Emil thrive in the environment carpenter, and he is also keen to plant berry bushes along with the grandmother. He even found the "Swedish worms" in the soil. (Also a big fat normal fishingworm). They all got buried again, even if emil should have them with him to Bodø...

 

Klar ferdig GÅ!"

The weekend - carpenter work - Guidance - Elisabeth

This project is ok - building without drawing - we must figure out as we go on..... Do you really believe it? Well sometimes one must figure out how the best use of my material. It is great to use the material, then it will be more space for other stuff - it is soon winter, and it will soon snow as well. Last year, we had a lot of snow this weekend. Tomorrow I will get the roof - steel seems to be the material.

Elk is great for dinner made by Elisabeth

Hunting trip today Klettkovfjellet

Today I had to try hunting grouse at my home place, Klettkovfjellet. It was glorious weather with bright sunshine, but maybe too much wind. The grouse was easy on the wings, and flew at 300 meters, but it was fun nonetheless. There are still dinner here before we go to California later this month. I found that there was a lot of spam that originates from the plant in the mountains. The Armed Forces are doing a great litter, without the cleaning up after themselves. The landowners, we, recently won a court case, where the military was guilty of having gone beyond the lease they have on the mountain to its facilities. The present rent ever illegal to about 20 companies, as they are unable to. It is tragic that they are not able to clean up after themselves.

This is an example of many litter all over the mountain

Støvset my homeplace

Per Arne got more sheep down from the mountain also today
