Driving USA!

 

Where to go and what to do if you have 4 weeks in the US and wanna drive. There are some long distancesthat we're not used to here - so what do to?

Our rough plan so far is somewhat like this (of course with stops in between):

Chicago - Minneapolis - New Orleans - then all the way to Florida - ending with a 9 days round-trip including the Keys and ending in Miami.

Hints - tips - suggestions - places to see - places to stay - PLEASE - give them to us as we need all the help we can get!

 

The last day of june - half way through the year

Where did the first 6 months go? I have no idea, but atleast there are 6 months left - right? This are some of this years first strawberries - from our own garden! YUMMY! I usually freeze strawberries with a bit of sugar and use it during the winter for the ultimate taste of summer :D If you add home made waffles... *drool*

 

As well as strawberries we had a beautiful sunset - though the pics are not the best but you get the idea.

Have a great rest of the year - let the next 6 months don't pass us by like the first 6 did!

 

 

A few minutes later the sky was on fire! 

Gratulerer med dagen Sara!

GRATULERER MED DAGEN!!! 

  

It's your birthday! 67 - time to relax and enjoy life.... though I'm not so sure you're the one to sit in a chair doing nothing ;)

We're looking forward to our trip to Denmark later this year so you better take care - don't break a leg while dancing on the table or something ;)

 

Just a funny thing about what happened in Norway the day you were born (sorry - in Norwegian only):

Mesteparten av Nationalteaterets styre arresteres etter å ha avvist et krav om lisens fra Quisling-regjeringen.

 

 

 

 

It's Friday - time for a few stories

My stories today are both about moral, but don't think they're not funny.

I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream!

There was only one thing bothering me, very much indeed, and that one thing was her younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, wore tight mini skirts and low cut blouses. She would regularly bend down when near me and I got many a pleasant view of her underwear. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else.

One day little sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived. She whispered to me that soon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome and didn't really want to overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it just come up and get me." I was stunned. I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top she pulled down her panties and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house. I walked straight towards my car.

My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family.

"The moral of this story is:"

"Always keep your condoms in your car."

== == == == == == 

Far, far away lived a beautiful Queen with voluptuous breasts, but Nick the Dragon slayer knew
the penalty for this desire would be death should he try and touch them.

One day he revealed his secret desire to his colleague, Horatio, the Physician, who was the King's chief doctor.
Horatio the Physician exclaimed that he could arrange for Nick the Dragon Slayer to satisfy his desire, but it
would cost him 1,000 gold coins to arrange it.Without pause, Nick the Dragon Slayer readily agreed to the scheme.

The next day, Horatio the Physician made a batch of itching powder and poured a little bit into the Queen's brassiere
while she bathed. Soon after she dressed, the itching commenced and grew intense. Upon being summoned to the Royal
Chambers to address this incident, Horatio the Physician informed the King and Queen that only a special saliva, if applied
for four hours, would cure this type of itch, and that tests had shown that only the saliva of Nick the Dragon Slayer would
work as the antidote to cure the itch.

The King quickly summoned Nick the Dragon Slayer. Horatio the Physician then slipped Nick the Dragon Slayer the antidote for
the itching powder, which he quickly put into his mouth, and for the next four hours, Nick worked passionately on the Queen's
voluptuous and magnificent breasts.

The Queen's itching was eventually relieved, and Nick the Dragon Slayer left satisfied and touted as a hero. Upon returning
to his chamber, Nick the Dragon Slayer found Horatio the Physician demanding his payment of 1,000 gold coins.
With his obsession now satisfied, Nick the Dragon Slayer couldn't have cared less and, knowing that Horatio the Physician could
never report this matter to the King, with a laugh just told him to get lost.
The next day, Horatio the Physician slipped a massive dose of the same itching powder into the King's underwear. The King
immediately summoned Nick the Dragon Slayer...

"The moral of the story is:" 

"Pay Your Bills!"

 

Watch the budgie!

One of our two budgies like to play peekaboo with us (in Norwegian - TITTEI!!! Der er du jo... ). We once spent about 1 hour looking for this bird... and it was sitting on a branch in one of my green plants - saying nothing (just thinking.. haha.. you cant find me!!!)

Well today it did the same - but my better half found it.  Our budgies are not at all tame, but as you can see from the pictures - it got on the finger and was given the grand tour of our kitchen. Looking out.. wondering what's out there. Isn't this just too cute?

 

My latest humming

I sometimes find myself humming on a certain tune that I've heard on the radio. This one's been circling in my head for a few weeks and I never figured out who the singer was - until yesterday! Here I was - thinking it was some American guy, but it turns out it's a Norwegian guy called Espen Lind - what a surprise :D

So with this tune I wish you all a great weekend. Temperatures will be even higher this weekend (turning 30C or 86F) - I guess it's time to find myself a good book and spend the weekend in the sun!

"Der er et yndigt land"

These are the first word in the national anthem of Denmark - and I guess you understand it's the Danish constitution day.

Since my better half is Danish I feel like celebrating the day. We tried buying a Danish flag when we were in Denmark, but of course the shop was closed the day we were there! (total Murphy's law...) - so we'll have to do without.

Instead I show you this picture of poppies that I pass every day on my way to work. The poppies reminds me of summers in Denmark - with poppy fields!

   

 

 

Come June - sunny and warm!

The whole weekend has been sunny and warm - almost too warm (just almost). Unfortunately I spent most of yesterday inside as I was on call and two of our customers had computer problems. They called me at am 8:30 - it was solved at pm 5.... (and I had to get help from two more ppl. which meant there was a total of 3 pp. spending a perfect day inside *sigh*)

Anyway - today has  - again - been sunny and warm - and no phone calls. I managed to buy some new flowers - the two large ones you'll see in the following pictures are last years flowers. I hope they'll come back as the blue hydragenas they were last year. Friday night and this evening was spent painting the fence - hard to see from the picture though ;) Hope you all had a nice weekend. This one is soon at its end, but I'll manage to knit a bit one the 2nd sock for my hubby :)

 

 

 

Last day of May - time for a joke

Let's just hope the nurse in the joke looked somewhat like this one ;)

 

 

A motorcycle patrolman was rushed to the hospital with an
inflamed appendix.  

 

The doctors operated and advised him that all
was well.
 
However, the patrolman kept feeling something pulling at the hairs in his crotch.  Worried that it might be a second surgery the
doctors hadn't told him about, he finally got enough energy to pull his hospital gown up enough so he could look at what was making him so uncomfortable.
 
Taped firmly across his pubic hair were three wide strips of
adhesive tape, the kind that doesn't come off easily.  Written in
large black letters was the sentence:
 
'Get well soon....from the nurse in the Jeep you pulled over last week...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

God helg, Sara! Have a great weekend, Sara!

This is a picture of my mother-in-law, Sara. She lives far away so we don't see her that often, but I know she reads my blog - and since my hubby got this picture yesterday I found it suitable to put it on my blog!
