Norway, all things considered.





Welcome to my Norway web site!

“You can take the girl out the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.”



Yes, at age 18, trying my wings, I left my home in Isfjorden and came to the United States.

After an experience-rich childhood in my country, full of beautiful, breathtaking nature, history and old Norse customs still sings in my soul.

Sometimes I "go back" to my fun-filled days of hiking in our mountains; picking wild strawberries and catching brook trout with my bare hands.

Norwegian traditions, foods and the way of life are what I brought with me to the USA, the melting pot; the mixture of international flavors that makes America so great.

When people ask me, "Where are you from?" (I still have an accent.) I sing my answer back "All…the…way…from…Norway…"

Now, a few years later...I want to share many stories, facts and photos from my Nordic country.

When I arrived in the United States, I couldn’t wait to take a trip to a store, so "right off the boat", I went to the corner market to buy a head of lettuce. It was all green and round--I came back with cabbage. I didn’t want to ask for help — must be the Norwegian Viking spirit in me. That may sound kind of dumb, but I didn't really go grocery shopping in
Norway - mom did all that.

That’s pretty much the way I still am — stubborn, independent and adventurous — wanting to do things my way. Sometimes I even land on my feet.

Oh, in case you want to know what "hei" means - it is hello or hi.

So, hang on to your hats…here we go to Norge.   Hei!
