July 20th~

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a morning walk...

 As long as it does not rain in the mornings I manage
 to get a little walk in.  Happy for that because it then rains for
 the rest of the day on and off.  The other day no rain was predicted,
 yet it rained most of the day.  Here in Norway I have learnt that
 you need to check the weather constantly before planning
 anything.  I always see interesting things on my walks.


And no, there is no Dunkin Donut in Norway, 
but I have my little Dunkin cup.  makes me feel as if I'm
 having cafe at home.  Coffee no matter where is good.

Yesterday was one of those absolutely beautiful Norwegian 
summer days.  The sun was out and the skies were blue, 
unlike most of the days we have had so far. Made for a 
beautiful morning walk, and Horten just looked better.


What a difference a day with sunshine makes.


The temperature was on the cooler side which made it even 
better when walking.  My best morning so far this summer.


When we went to Oslo I took a lot of pictures of the smiling 
boat as I called it, and to my surprise later that evening as 
Arvid and I were sitting relaxing in the apartment in Horten
 the same boat passed by.  Pretty cool I might say 😍


My Sniff is home in Florida waiting patiently for me. 
 I am happy because his pet-sitter sends me a picture of him
 everyday.  After I hear from her, I can relax and go to sleep.


With the good weather comes happy campers.
  Finally they can also enjoy their summer vacation. 
 Norwegians have a strong affinity for the outdoors and
 are known for their love of hiking, skiing, picking berries and
 embracing nature in any possible way. ⛺ People try to be as
 close to nature as possible and therefore it's very common to
 own or rent a hut, boat, RV or campervan in Norway.


Yesterday was a beautiful day here sun was shining so 
Arvid and I made it to our favorite summer spot when in Horten. 
 Fishland.  Though the sun was shining, as soon as it disappeared, 
it was cold.  Aside from me being cold, we had a good time.


Later this evening we go listening to Reggae music 
right here in Horten with Victoria and Michael.  We always have
 a good time together and I know tonight won't be any different.


I'm still smiling when I think of our day at Victoria
 and Michaels and what a beautiful time I had with everyone. 
 Especially with our granddaughters.  I'm sill overwhelmed by 
them calling me bestemor.  I don't think I can stop smiling.


Do the best you can until you know better. 
Then when you know better, do better...
