Thank you Jan-Nichlas for sharing - and still - do not forget to enjoy life...

Whitsuntide

I did this layout a long time ago.  It's my fathers mother and his aunt.  They both lived at Flisa in Åsnes and they had four children, each.  They even died before they turned 70 years old.  But I got to know them - a tiny bit - just for a few years - I wonder what if I had known them better - would I've then been doing geneology? Or... who knows... anyway I'm glad I met them.  Very...

My Grandmother, Mimi Martinsdaughter Langerud Nymoen, born 20. August 1898 at Snapholt, Hof in Solør, Åsnes County, Hedmark.

My Grandmothers sister, Margit Ovidia Martinsdaughter Langerud Linna, born 6. February 1903 at Flissundet, Åsnes County, Hedmark.

Margit married Olav Syversen Linna 12. July 1923 in Åsnes Church.  They got four children, Syver Asbjørn, Ole Martin, Eva Marie and Bjørn Harald. 

Margit Ovida died at Flisa 17. February 1971 and her housbond Syver died 6. November 1941.  They are both burried at Åsnes Curch Cemetary.

My Grandmother Mimi married my Grandfather Einar Karlotson Nymoen 31. October 1925.  My Grandfather, Einar was born 4. September 1898 at Råberget, Hof in Solør, Åsnes County, Hedmark. 

Mimi and Einar had four children, Marit, Inger Marie, Ola Martin and Eivind.  Marit and my father are not with us anymore, Marit died 4. May 1995 and my father passed away 19. March 2005.

Mimi died 24. Februar 1965 and Einar died 1. September 1986.  They are burried at Åsnes Church Cemetary.

Enjoy your day...I have to pick up Nichlasen, he's coming by train from Oslo...he dosn't have a drivers license...

Last Night Was Halloween

Happy Halloween!  It's Sunday and the weather is grey.....it's snowing soon - and I don't like that at all!  Nichlasen is spending the week-end in Oslo - some party going on - enjoy!

In June 2006 was the first time I wrote a missing people link at DIS Norge - looking for Lina Dorthinusdaughter and her family in The USA.  This summer I found Lina - and her American Family - lucky me! 

Lina married - I don't know when or were - John Goldberg from Sweden, born 1858.  John went to Sweden, without Lina, late 1915 - 1919, I think, visiting old family.  Unfortunately he died during his visit and was burried at this grave yard.  

So my questions are - where in Sweden is this beautiful church and are there anyone out there that have some information about John Goldberg?  I sure would be glad!

Thank you Jennifer for letting me have this picture!

October just passed away - I'm like the bear - spending next month in a lair, waking up in December. 

Ha a wonderful Fall - and thanks for reading my blog - enjoy life!

Redwood Forrest in California

Before we came to Sacramento we had to drive through The Redwood Forrest. It was stunning - the trees were sooo tall - sooo big - and sooo green! We just had one hour to spend - so we found a trial that took only 5 minutes! Next time we have to stop at least a day. Try it!

As we drove south from Oregon State - at Highway 101 - it got foggy. It's thick, grey fog from the Pacific Ocean. It's pretty cool - don't you think!

My little babyboy - Nichlasen - called me today - he's comming home to his mother - ME! - after two years in Oslo - the capitol of Norway! He's going to attend a class at Jønsberg Videregående Skole. Hurra! But first he has to take his exam as an apprentice.

Have a great day tomorrow - enjoy life and thanks for visiting my blog! I'm looking foreward to start scrapping - but right now my August is a little bit back and forth!

SISTE DAG I FEBRUAR 2009

Hello - and good afternoon - sitting here talking with my son on msn. Strange this "thing" writing letters on my wireless keyboard - and Jan-Nichlas staying in Oslo writes his own words on his laptop! and I'm reading them here in Ottestad - amazing and strange - and I'm very happy and lucky! Bet you are too!
This is a layout from scrapliftcompetition at - The Pink Forum - I didn't win, but I had a lot of fun - and I tried Prima flowers - a lot of them - it was quite challenging.
The picture is taken August 2007 - it's the SAND i Ryensjøen and the only cloudberry I saw that year.
It's still WINTER here in Norway - we have tons of snow - I'm not a snowfan! But the SUN is here and the sky is blue - spring is right around the corner!
Have a wonderful day and enjoy!
