Do you know any Norwegian words Heather?

After all the enforced training my grandfather tried on me when I was little, I'm embarrassed to say I don't know ANY. But I'm open to some good ones to throw his way, if you're offering.

BTW, my grandfather and my dad have the same middle name: Thorleif.

Too bad I was born a girl, I would have had it, too!

Thor Henning · 04-11-2005

My name is Thor and my fathers name is Leif.

They could have named you Thorhild. Thats a girls name.

You could tell your Grandfather:
Nå har jeg lært meg masse norsk. Se bare hvor flink jeg har blitt.
(Now I have learned a lot of Norwegian. Look how good I am.

Ginger · 04-11-2005

Man, I'm SOOO jealous after reading these lists!! I wish I had started travelling a lot sooner than I did. I really hope to visit a lot of those places I've seen on peoples' lists, especially all over Europe on our trip we are planning for two years from now (three to four months with all four of us carrying backpacks - have to wait till the kids are old enough to carry their own weight!). I also have a great desire to visit Africa, India, China, and Australia. All in due time!

I guess my kids are pretty lucky though, their lists are pretty long for 9 and 10 year-olds. And still they complain!!

Kids.

I remember "god jul' and "mange takk". Grandma was from Alesund and Grandpa was from Stavenger. My relatives used to send me kroner when I was little.

We recently had an old letter translated. It was written by a relative in Oslo on Auguts 5, 1945. She talks about their freedom after five years of occupation by the Germans.

When we retire, we hope to visit Norway and see where our ancestors lived.

Its a small world. My family is from Norway also. My mothers maiden name is Vanset, its was changed when they moved to the states to Vanseth. I work with an Engineer who's name is Tor Flatebo from Norway, and he is the only registered Norwegian interpreter in Southern Oregon.

Banzoomba · 04-11-2005

We did Niagra falls this year...wow it was great...you just keep staring at them....and the Maid of the Mist ride to the bottom of the falls was so exciting....we all got soaked but our smiles were not removable...and the cave of the winds is just breath taking....this trip is a must for every one and not very expensive.
