Norway, all things considered.
Welcome to my Norway web site!
Norsk Bunad
“You can take the girl out the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl.”
Isfjorden in winter.
Yes, at age 18, trying my wings, I left my home in Isfjorden, which is a small village in Romsdal, and came to the United States.
Breathtaking view from Romsdal Mountains.
After an experience-rich childhood in my country, full of beautiful, breathtaking nature, history and old Nordic 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 and mores, a bit of history; an informal peak at the arts, foods and flavors of Scandinavia and a way of life are some of the things I brought with me to the USA, the great melting pot of the international flavors of the world, called America.
The Scream/Skriket in Norwegian (1910)
One of four versons of this famous painting by the Norwegian artist,
Edward Munch displayed at the Munch Museum, Oslo.
Cruise Ship on the Fjord
When people ask me, "Where are you from?" (I still have an Norwegian accent.) I sing my answer back "All…the…way…from…Norway…"

Lean and tasty
Norwegian Jarlsberg Cheese
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.
Replica of a Viking house from the Iron Age
located in my hometown, Isfjorden, Romsdal
I didn’t want to ask for help — must be the Norwegian Viking spirit in me. It sound dumb, but I didn't go shopping for groceries at home.
That’s pretty much the way I still am — sassy, stubborn, independent and adventurous — wanting to do things my way. Most of the time I even land on my feet.
