So no pictures in this blog posting. Sorry to disappoint. But a huge thank you to all our friends from Findlay and elsewhere who contributed to our care package. Especially to Michelle, the organizer and major contributor. Thank you all so much.
Home is where our family is and we always refer to where we currently live together as home. But Findlay was home for so long and was such a wonderful home for us. And being in Norway is such a great adventure and we are loving it. But that doesn't diminish how much we miss our friends. Your thoughtfulness is much appreciated. And for as much as we may have affected your lives, we can never express how much you have affected our lives.
On a lighter note, being that it is Wednesday, it was sail boat Regatta night. I sat and counted over fifty boats. It appears they must race in classes as they come out of the fjord opposite us in groups of ten to twenty. The groups all have similar sized boats with the largest coming first and the smallest last. And today at least they are racing one way and then the other.
Finally, one of the things we like about our apartment is the opportunity to participate in things like Waffle Thursday and some other special events. Last night, the office manager organized a dinner. It was a "Grill Night" and a chef that is apparently pretty famous in Norway came in a prepared the meal. There were various salads (one was a pineapple-avocado salad that was really good), grilled meats, bread and desserts. The meats were leg of lamb, beef loin, chicken and trout, all roasted on the grill. The desserts were fruit salad and chocolate mousse. It was delicious, especially he trout. It was also expensive, at about $100 for the two of us (no charge for Sidney), and we ended up eating on the floor. It was supposed to be served on the terrace patio, but it rained last night and the food was too good to get watered down by rain.
