17th Of May

17th of May is Norwegian Constitution Day and it is a big deal in Norway. The closest I can compare it to in the USA is a combination of 4th of July, Memorial Day and Veterans Day all mixed together. In Norway there are parades of school children and lots lots lots of flag waving. This year Kari decided to have a party and celebrate with 78 of our closest friends. Our house was decorated with our finest red/white blue party material. It was fun and I am pooped. I cooked 120 waffles of which most got eaten... along with "blotekake" (soft cake) and "rullekaka" (rolled cake)

img_4832At the party, 100% of the native born Norwegians, that live in Ridgecrest, were here... Kari, Lotte and Edlie. Kari came here 8 years ago when she married me...Lotte is an exchange student... and Edlie has been here 50 years.
