I got a lot of firewood from my lovely neighbours today, so now I have this huge pile in my garage & a nice & toasty house.  I take my hat off to him, that has worked a lifetime doing that…chopping down trees, tending to the woodland. Hard work...& think, he’s way over 80 & still does it with a smile.  Then there’s her, gosh, her kindness radiates. I can’t even explain it, but she somehow teaches me gratitude on a whole different level - & grace. She reminds me that there’s a lot to be thankful for, it’s just a matter of perspective…  Guess what I’m most thankful for at the moment is that this hollow space in my heart’s slowly being filled again…through kindness & the simple thing of being seen, & opening my own eyes to the little things in life - that actually is life itself. ~Linn. Absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and fans the bonfire.  ~François Duc de La Rochefoucauld.

Do I agree with what the nurse said at the end of this article , that we should focus on the good that happened that night, absolutely. But ignoring who did it & why, no, absolutely not. Not this time around. As Norwegians we met our own extremist with a sea of flowers & candlelight. I just got numb back then, all those young lives lost...it was just unfathomable. But now I'm just plain

Claudia & Ralph. S o, my mum's aunt Claudia was the first of many children in my great grandmothers womb. ;) But I do think she was their favorite. Cause she got permission to do a great deal more than my grandmother ever did. ;) Anyway, she did get to travel a lot...& she took quite a few pictures when she was out 'n about.  Claudia in the middle. This is supposed to be where she learned to sew. :) I love this picture.  Haven't a clue where this is, but it's lovely! They knew how to have fun way back when too... ;) "Have no clue what we where doing here." -Claudia on climbing tree's on Jeløy. "Me with my tush up in the air." -Claudia. Out with the girls. This pic is just priceless.  B ut I mentioned a couple of posts ago that she had this heartbreaking story. Gonna give you the short version... Well, if I remember correctly she was engaged, or was going to get engaged to this gentleman from
