The Norwegian Independence Day.
We celebrated the day at
the Norwegian Seamen's Church in Houston.
This year there was a lot of people celebrating,
Most Norwegians or people of Norwegian heritage,
also other Scandinavians.
It was a great day,
not as hot as it normally gets here this time of the year,
and we also got what they called "liquid sun",
small rain showers. Refreshing!
I always have a hard time when the brass band play
"Ja vi elsker,"
our national hymn.
My thoughts goes to family in Norway.
The local Police Force was helping out with traffic.

Gratulerer med dagen som var!
Vel overstått. Dere har hatt det riktig fint skjønner jeg. Det gikk en dame i en vakker bunad og med skaut på hodet, kan det være deg? Hun var så fin.
Da jeg så det siste bildet måtte jeg smile. Jeg kunne ha vært der borte hos deg i går og hjelpt til med trafikken. Jeg har akkurat en sånn motorsykkel. Bare en annen farge. Morsomt for meg at du la inn dette bildet. Takk skal du ha.
Nei Gawo.. den dama er nok ikke meg, men jeg syntes hun var saa fin, saa jeg la inn bildet..
Jeg blir stadig mer rørt av "Ja vi elsker", skylder på alderen, tenk at en gammel "raddis" ska bli sånn ;)
Gratulerer med vel overstått 17. mai feiring!
Dere hadde litt bedre vær enn oss 17.mai:-) Vi var på Tranby (ved Drammen) og der var det 3 grader og snødde :-)
Helene lue og votter var supersøt.
Ha en fortsatt fin kveld.
Happy 17 May! My friend in Bergen (an American abroad) said she went to the parade there and it was the longest parade she'd ever seen... and that she felt underdressed. She sent a photo... I should post it.
Så fint det ser ut til at dere hadde det. Damen med ryggen til har jo Sunnmørsbunad!! Her hadde vi hatt over 25 varmegrader, men 17. mai snødde det her på østlandet!
Heisann. Ja så var atter ei veke over og det går mot helg :) Eg er ute på mi ukentlige bloggbesøkrunde for å ønske deg ei god helg.
Klem fra Ronille
SÅÅÅÅÅ mye fint du lager, og så vakre plasser du befinner deg på :) Hilsen Nina
