About Me

I am a not yet 55 year old woman married for 25+ years, 4 kids, 1 dog and 1 cat. The kids are beginning to leave home. One is launched, one is in college and 2 are still at home. As a couple we are entering the final stage of our parenting journey: the teenage years and beyond. We are starting to dream and think and plan for those years when the house is quiet and it is just us once again. Please join me as I explore what it means to grow older with adventure and grace.

The Armchair Traveler: Norway

Kristie is an American expat, married and living in Oslo, Norway. Her blog Culture Shock is about living in this beautiful, interesting, snowy city. A good place to begin exploring Norway through her blog is on the right, under Pages, click on “The Best Of”.

There is the now expected (by me at least) but always interesting post on the challenge of getting clothes clean overseas She comes at the challenge from a different angle. It is a fun post to read.  I wonder if it is just Americans who have humongous washer/dryers. There is a funny post on how legislation effects pork prices, how to walk like a Norwegian and visiting the fount of all thing furniture (otherwise know as Ikea).

Reading  through the archives, I found some gems. The post about the Persian pizza maker living Norway was one of my favorites. How Kristie solved her lack of realty TV problem was another.The world is a small place in more ways than one.

Kristie’s blog offers helpful information to anyone thinking of moving to or visiting Norway. I wish she wrote a little more about the food, I like reading about food.

Culture Shock is a fun blog to visit and get a taste (food metaphor) of life in Norway.
