  • The paw print of our dog

    If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be and why?

    We recently lost our eldest dog, Flekkies. He was a Lundehund & became 12 years old. One of the things we did when we said good bye was to take a picture of his paw print.

    I’d like to have his paw print along with our living dog Ozzy on me. Both dogs mean very much to us, & are & were wonderful companions.

    Flekkies is a legend as I announced his passing we got almost 300 condolences on the group that we’re in. Flekk was a kind & gentle soul that I miss every day. Hence, it’s important to me to have his paw print so I can remember him. Who do you want a tattoo of?

  • We say goodbye to our beloved King.

    This morning our beloved King passed away today. I’m in sorrow as he was everyone’s grandfather. He meant very much to the people of Norway. His Majesty was the people’s king.

    I’ve been watching the telly all morning & am touched by how we as a nation are grieving him. The king that brought us together after the terror attack of 22 of July.

    Our King was loved by many & wanted to include everyone. He loved his country fiercely & had a motto that was “everything for Norway” alt for Norge. Something that was shown during the World cup this year.

    May you rest in peace, your Majesty.

  • 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.
