The Beauty of Norway

My e-friends, Odd and Jenny, live in Norway and Odd has sent me many website links and photos of his scenic homeland.  I was looking over some of those yesterday and realized they were too beautiful to keep to myself.  So, with thanks to Odd for this special trip, I invite you to visit Norway.  If we're lucky, Jenny will make one of her delicious desserts and the coffee will be waiting for us!  Nancy

Our forefathers had civilization inside themselves, the wild outside.  We live in the civilization they created, but within us the wilderness still lingers.  What they dreamed, we live, what they lived, we dream.

Everything remembered is dear, touching, precious.  The past is safe - though we didn't know it at the time.  We know it now.  Because it's in the past; because we have survived.

The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

The boughs of no two trees ever have the same arrangement.  Nature always produces individuals; she never produces classes.

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not......you are right.

We think too small.  Like the frog at the bottom of the well.  He thinks the sky is only as big as the top of the well.  If he surfaced, he would have an entirely different view.
