Pay TV

My new great friend Per that I met in Norway at the festival that I have to blog about played this song and it's sarcasm makes it the greatest thing ever!!!

Scandinavia!!!

I've been in Europe now for over a month and I'm still so far behind on my blogs that I haven't posted a single picture from my trip yet.

Well, wait no longer. The time has come. Will in the land of the Vikings.

Camilla and I waiting for the train into Oslo.


Here's a little fact for ya. In Norway, any public lands are for the public and can be used however. So you can camp in parks or whatever, whatever including suntanning on the lawn of their castle.

Could you imagine George W. looking out of the White House or Queen Liz looking out of Buckingham Palace to see this?



Yes I am a tourist.


We weren't in Oslo long before we took a bus to Stockholm and the land of Abba.


That's the border!!!


Apparently it was Chinese Day in Stockholm.


Yeah I don't know either.


This is me with Astrid Lindgren, the writer of Pippi Longstocking. I had no idea she was Swedish and that Pippi's real name is Pippi Långstrump.


Stockholm is built on 7 different islands. Makes for good photos.






After Stockholm, we went to Copenhagen, where I ate a Danish.....


And sat on a toilet that Hans Christian Andersen once sat on.


I also did this.



And saw this.





I also saw some Trolls,



got caught in the rain


and saw The Little Mermaid.

While I was home for a bit, I went to Amarillo and played with the nieces.

Little Jolie

An oh-so-artistic shot of Kenzie


Sami was watching after Jolie and let's just say Jolie made her work!

Memorial Day Backyard BBQ Fun!!

Of course, making the margaritas had to happen first.


I'm just pretending to help cook.


Our Chefs. The apron might look professional but I guarantee Katie was the one who was ensuring perfection.


See what I mean.


I think I made him angry.


Cigarette Lighting: The Louisiana Way
Taught by our host LeeAnn.


It was also Jasseaux's bday. Here she is with a few of her birthday presents.....


......and then me after I took them!


This is how Cajuns fight over food.


The party did get a little wild.


And I celebrated the best way I know how



Happy Memorial Day!!!
