  • At a Scandinavian club

    How did you meet your significant other?

    I met my husband at a Scandinavian club in Seattle in the early 2000’s. I was a volunteer there & he was a patron. I volunteered there for several years. For their pancake breakfast.

    We started dating in early 2002 but things were not firm between us until 2007. 5 years later. The Scandinavian club was a large part of my life & I really enjoyed being there for breakfast. The club looked out over Lake Union & the city. However, we didn’t get married there. We got married above the Artic Circle in 2010.

  • Flekkies

    It’s with a heavy heart I write this post. Yesterday our beloved 12 year old Lundehund went over the rainbow bridge. He was a sweetheart & so kind. Although he was big for the breed, he was a gentle giant. We recently took a trip to Northern Norway & he really loved riding in the car & hiking with my husband. Even in complete downpour, he’d go for a walk with my husband. Flekk was a wonderful companion & very sweet. He will be missed.

    How do you deal with uncertainty?

    Trollstigen down to Geiranger. I got so scared of the other drivers on the road that I cried. I try breathing exercises & focusing on the present no matter how hard it may be.

    I focus on one day/thing at a time when my anxiety creeps in. By doing that I don’t feel overwhelmed. We made it down to Geiranger & made the choice to take the ferry out. It was a tourist trap & the 30 minutes we spent there was more than adequate.

    I take uncertainty by breathing through it. There isn’t much else I can do. By staying in the present & being grateful for it. I feel I can tackle whatever comes my way.
