Road To NC...

I was surprised, as always, be how easy the act of leaving was, and how 
good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility...

On the way to North Carolina to see my parents and sister.  Could not be any happier.

As we drive, Arvid keeps telling me that Norway looks exactly the same. The drive 

at times is very scenic and the colors of the trees even in winter is pretty.

As you can see from the above picture, winter came to my parents' home.  Not usual for 

them to have so much snow, but there was nothing "usual" about this year.  This was

 earlier inn the winter, now the snow has all been cleared away.  We hope so.

Neither Arvid nor I are too crazy about the cold. That's what we live in 

The Sunshine State.  The cold is the main reason we never go to Norway in the winter.  

We both will probably get the cold again.  Fingers crossed that's not going to happen.

We are both looking forward to seeing my parents again.  Arvid and my dad have a very

 special bond and I do enjoy seeing them together.  My dad tells stories of when he 

was a little boy, and Arvid does the same.  They both share quite a lot of memories

 of time long gone by.  Every time we go, I learn a little something more about 

my dad and about Arvid.  I love these times together around the table.

Happy Friday everyone!  If you don't know 
where you are going, any road will get you there.

Girls are like country roads.  The best ones got curves.
It's a long road to NC, but it's worth it...
