What a lovely evening! Solfrid organized a potluck garden party - bringing together family, new friends from Heimdal and friends from "once upon a time" in Santa Barbara. It was a magical night - a mixture of English and Norwegian languages, people meeting for the first time and people re-connecting.

We met Turid when she and her husband Norvald came to the USA in the summer of 1985, with their youngest two children to pick up daughter Solfrid and take a cross-country road trip before returning to Norway. She has hardly changed at all!

After Solfrid's year with us, she sent her neighbor Gillian our way. Gillian, while in California, fell in love and left her post early. It was so good to see her again!

Looks like a lovely time, so far. So nice to see a photo of Solfrid -- my gosh, that was a long time ago! Norway looks beautiful. Nice pics! News from home is Trader Joe's has opened in the old Scolari's and, if you can believe it, the parking lot is jammed! Cars driving round and round to find a spot. Hopefully this will calm down. Will send email with pic. Other than that, carry on with the good times! (:
