Swedish nurse lost and found in Norway

About yhe life at "Granlund" and in Norway

Grey sky today.....

, , ,

Yes, today the sky is grey agian and there is some snow and rain in the air. But I can still feel the spring!:yes: And the bird has gone mad and sings like maniacs.
A long walk with the dogs inte the morning(by the way, the bostonterrier was`t very happy in that weather) and shopping for the weekend after that. And some housework like baking and doing loundry after that. I have been a good girl today and is satisfied white myself. Thats important!
And between all that I take care of my plants. I can`t understand where I got my passion for everything that growes. My parants where citypeople and there where some pots in the windows but thats all there was.
I see a wonder of perfection in every plant and flower.And feel a great satisfaction when I can produce my own food without poison. And it is all therapy for the soul! Get a garden for inner peace!
I also have been fascinated by all animals and the posibility to breed. I have a cat, it had kittens, My dogs had puppies( i Had a kennel for many years)My horses had fools, my cows had calves, my sheep had lambs and so on and on. I think I have had every kind of animals thats possible for ordinary people. My mother has called my a complete idiot more than one time!awww She is not a very nice person.
Now when i am a little bit older and maybe a little bit wiser we have come to some understanding and can have some peace.Probebly she thinks that my plants dont make any trouble and ruin in my life. And they dont make a mess in the house!And they dont looses hair!!:yuck:
But I have two dogs and there will be puppies, two cats and there will be kittens!I just love wonders!!!:love:
My crazy Norwegian understands me and suports me always! When we met he said -No dogs in the bedroom!!! Look what I found yesterday in my bed in the night!!! I love him!! I just do!:heart:

Monday windy Monday...

, , , ...



It is a full moon out tonight. And the wind, or should I say the storm blows with same intensity as yesterday.And if I will turn this to something good i must be that where absolutly impossible to take the carpets out so I could clean the house today! p: The crazy Norwegien went to work and will bee gone until tomorrow night and the dogs does not care. I will clean tomorrow, maybe...
Instead I spent the days with my friends and have good talks and lots of big laughs! Really good friends are one of the most important things in life! They will always love you even if they don`t love all the things you do! :love: I don`t know where I would be today without my friends! We all know that life is not easy and there times when you will give it all up. I have been there and i am sure that who ever reads this feel the same sometimes!But we make it thru and often it is our freinds who makes the difference! So thank you all!

But how do you find them or how do they find you?? Is it destiny? Or does it just happends? I don`t think so! I belive that there is a meaning in every meeting in your life!I belive that someone is in charge and make our feet go the right way and find them! Sometimes we just know that the person we just met will be a important part of our life for ever! We just know!
I will give some examples: Many years from now I was following a women to a shelter after a rape, there I met another women while I was waiting. We began to talk and never stop. We have had some breaks but she became one of my best friends. We have shared happines and sorrows,hopes and disapointments.She is a wonderful person and she never looses her humor and braveness. She is the reason that I found Opera and for the first time wright someting that other people can read!And gave me the currage to show people my photos. Thank you Eva, my friend the artist!

And my friend Lena her in Norway, she saves my life time after time. She never gives up on me! She listens for hours and she always says what she means and stand up for it! what ever it will cost.The crazy Noewegien thing she sometimes get scary....:no: We havent stop talking since the day we met!

And there is Samuel, and thats a long story. Some day I will write a book I think, because someone should tell his story. When I met him I looked in his eyes and saw someting that I knew. I can not explain it.I could not talk for minutes.If we have moore than one life I am sure that we met before!He is a soulmate and I know whenever I need help he will be there!And he is one of the reasons I am sure that someone have a plan for everyone of us. We met in a terrible time in our lives and someone sent us to the same place to get help.I beleved in God before I met Samuel, but it made me even moore sure.

Think of your friends for a while and how you met them. I am sure you vill see that the right person walked into your life in exactly the right time!

That will be almost everthing for today, or should I say tonight.Me and the dogs will see some english crime on tv and have a nice night before the fire. The Bostonterrier "Lisbet" Likes the fire, she can never get enough of the heat in front of it.She is a complete terrorist but have fallen to sleep at last. I will take her in my arms very carefully and take place in my favorite chair. The crazy Norwegien are driving his train the whole night and I will see him in my dreams!

I wish everyone a good night and sweet dreams!

A windy Sunday in Norway


The storm here continues.I like beeing outdoors, but not today! It is a strange feeling wheen the wind goes on and on and on so many days as it does here. You get awfully tired and your head feels lik e it is full of cotton. I live in an old house and you heare the sounds of the wind the whole time. Sometimes it will give you comfort and peace and somtimes i ripps your soul apart.Sometimes you feel safe in the house and somtimes you belive that the big trees in the garden will fall down on the roof. I will have a peacefull day inside. I will read a good book and enjoy the heat from the fire. It is Sunday and we all need a days rest! Of course i will take a moment or two here in cyberspace. No long walks with the dogs and my camera today. I think the dogs are happy with that to!

Yesterday I planted a lots of seeds and the house are full of Gods wonder who is growing. It is really a passion!!! I never get tired of the perfektion in all the little things that comes up i my pots! It is wonder every time! And it will prowide us with food at least until Christmas. And with beauty!It makes me humble and greatful!We must never forget to thank fore the good things in life!

This is the first time that I have a blog.I have always wonder why I should have one... But it feels good to write some thoughts down and know that someone maybe reads them. And maybe get reflektions from people all over the world.Or not. Of course you can write it down in a ordinary dairy,but then you loose the chance to meet people and get new friends. Since I moved to Norway a lot of my time and powers has been used to get a life and a network here. And it is not so easy to start over when you are 48 years and have your whole life in another country. It is exiting and you will growe as a person, I like that!But sometimes you feel rather lonely.
Now my life begins to feel like a life and I got friends, job and family here to. And now it is time to se a little longer.

I wish everyone a lovely Sunday and don`t forget to thank someone fore the good things in life! :up:

Saturday at "Granlund"


It is just an ordinary Saturday At Granlund. It is snowing, the sky are totally grey and the spring seems to be ages away!Help!:cry: Give my some hopes for spring! I am going to plant seeds the whole day to keep my hope for a warmer season to come! A lot of seeds!!!!
Even the dogs refused to go outdoors this morning, i had to use a little bit of mild force to get them trough the door. No long walk to day!!:lol:
And it is blowing like hell out there!:devil: Storm on the Norwegien coust! YIPPIE!!:ko:
But, life is good anyway! Fire in the stove, coffie in my cup and the seeds who is waiting to grow!The dogs sleeps before the fire and the cats are joing them. It is peace in my home and I am lucky woman!:love:
The crazy Norwegien are cutting wood i the forrest and will return dirty, hungry and tired in the evening. That is something to look foreward to!!:heart:
