After being in Oslo for five weeks, there are SO many little things that I miss, things that the US could certainly improve upon. while we were there, Emily and I also made the observation that the newscasters there are so laided back and not so arrogant and pushy, trying to push a "celebrity" image. And I miss that Norwegian cheese!! As much as I love our life here, my memories of Norway will be treasured! 'Course it helped that I witnessed the birth of my first grandchild there, but what a wonderful city Oslo is, how easy to get around, and such gracious people! Bringing those balloons home that Friday night is one of my favorite and funniest memories! So neat how you can laugh and joke with people when you have no clue what they're saying yet in a sense you DO know!! yes, things will change, you'll make adjustments but you will be together and that's what makes it fun :) Love, Mom A couple days ago, Emily and I took the Metro to Arlington, VA…when we went to get farecards I “announced” “I miss Norway!!” After being in Oslo for five weeks, there are SO many little things that I miss, things that the US could certainly improve upon.
