Well, I have been theree, Monday - Hardanger, also!

The news is very focused on Hardanger and power lines, which will cross the region. Many will have turned the decision that the power lines to be added in the subsea cable, instead of air-span, which would spoil the nature. Well, I was actually in Hardanger Monday, when I drove from Haugesund and home to Saltdal. I took the air down to Haugesund, after a visit to Bjørnar's at the cabin close to Bodø. Then airplane, SAS, to Haugesund. The government should also build new roads, and few practice on transportation through the region. I am glad that we live in Central / North of Norway, with good roads. GPS in the car, wanted me to take a ferry trip when I drove up route 13 along Sørfjorden, a side fjord of Hardangerfjord. I defied the decree and had the lady in the box to protest wildly, turn, turn about, about 150 meters, turn around! Then I did not follow the advice, and instead continued to Eidfjord, resigned the lady in the box and said, "Continue as you have chosen!" I ran into the mountains and out of the mountains, the corkscrews in the mountains, and long tunnels ... When I finally came to E6, the rate was raised to 2000 rpm and 110 km on the gear! This was great! The "New car" went like a bullet, and I was home by 2:30 p.m. time on Tuesday. Now the car is cleaned and filters are changed, it appears to be a good thing. I want my old as donor for many important parts to come ... I could say "Ha det" to Liecel, who returned home to San Francisco on Wednesday morning. My job requires me to be active until Sunday morning. Happy hour! The pictures is from the trip, the powerlines are actually already there....

Besøk på en lørdag

Vi var på konsert - Rock all over i går - først gressklipping - så mat. Trivelig med besøk

Baking of "møsbrømlefse" today - a popular event!

There is a tradition in Saltdal, that you invite neighbors and relatives on "møsbrømlefse" when you have baking day. Today started Elisabeth and Liecel baking bread and it smelled good when cooking got started, and when it was announced that "møsbrømlefsene" were ready, it quickly became more life on the balcony. They had done a good job, and we invited the neighbors on lefse-tasting. Birger-Jan and Britt got a taste as well. A little try, also for Hilde. It will probably be a baking day later in the autumn? Very tasty food!

Friday - the day after the funeral. We had visitors and all went mountain hiking

Today we were visited by two Skaftnes, Paal and Terje. They were here in Saltdal due Mor Jorunn's  funeral yesterday. Jorunn died 22. July, and was buried from Saltdal Church, Rognan. We had a large collection of relatives on the balcony with Knut last night, and then Paal suggested that we should have a family reunion. It was designated as "2012", and event committee was appointed and the committee has already held its two meetings, and we are well underway. Domains are registered www.vollen.org and website are out already from last night. There are descendants of Hulda & Hans Pedersen Drageid. Today we went as a trip to the cabin at Lena and Svein, after we had drunk coffee here at Skavmoen. After this the Brothers returned to their homeplace, and we went to Storjord, where we visited the National Park Center, and we ate dinner at Saltdal Turistsenterr. A hot summer day!
Later that evening we visited Turid & Bengt at Evensgård, Tjuaen were in bloom. Then saturday we had visitors, great!

Today, things continued to happen, we delivered my Nissan into the hospital, and it was market in Åsele, the largest in Northern Sweden!

Sorry but I'm not very good in repairing fuel pumps, so had my Nissan into the workshop today. The car stopped on E4, and it was fortunate that Marcus could drag us to Trollstigen. It was a tragic morning, but improved considerably after we went on Åsele Market, the largest in Northern Sweden! We met Elsy and Lasse there, and  there were many activities we could participate in, including. I had be on the stage in a magic show, then the magician, stole my phone. I got it back. Otherwise, we were only 7 of 150 000 visitors, and there was plenty of food to taste. I tipped the size of the salmon Tyko, I have not heard anything yet, so the odds were probably not very close, or so my ticket was not pulled out. We shopped a little, so much, I got me a chat with VildHasse, participating also this year, with several stands on the market. We took a long detour home, and now we have also visited the hotel in Fredrika, we had coffee for everyone, and then we visited Buddha Temple Place - where we saw two huge statues at least 15 meters high, and an exhibition showing the history of the site.
