Hyttetur / Trip to the mountain cabin Jan 2012

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year.  Yes it has been that long since I posted *hangs head in shame* lol.

But to make up for it I'm going to share pics for a lovely weekend 4 girlfriends and I took to a beautiful cabin (ok full fledged house) up in the mountains in Veggli, Norway, which is about 1 1/2 hr from Kongsberg.  One of the girls has a lovely cabin up there.  Totally the way a cabin should be (if you ask me) with all the amenities of home :)  No cabin without electricity or indoor plumbing for me (yes I admit I'm a snob LOL)



It snowed quite a bit while we were there.  Not to cold so being outside was still fun :)

Happy Halloween

Patachou modeling his awesome bomberjacket (Jan 2007)

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to wish you a wonderful Halloween :)  Halloween has sorta come to Norway but it isn't the same as back in the USA :)  Somehow the pics I had taken of Patachou dressed as a skunk are missing.  But thought these might make a good substitute.

Patachou wearing the t-shirt he received after going thru raditation for cancer.  He loved that ts-shirt lol (2007)

He was such a sweet boy :)  I still miss him like crazy.  Nothing made him happier than wearing clothes :)

Even going out in the rain was fun :)  Not to mention the weird looks I got for walking a 104 lb rottie wearing a raincoat LOL.

Nanuchy (white) and Sonja (sheltie) both got to wear raincoats too.  But they were less than impressed with them LOL (Sept 2009)

Nanuchy did have a bomberjacket too :)  This was taken when she was on the news with my mom, just a few of weeks before I had to let her go to the rainbow bridge.

Patachou on the couch :)  He never slept on a dog bed, just a leather couch or my king sized bed lol.  Nothing but the best :) (2007)

I was so lucky to have such a trusting dog. Nothing but love!!!

Just wanted to share some good memories with you this halloween :)

Hugs,

The House, The Fields, The Puppy Power :)

Spiffy new rubber boots :)

Hi everyone :)

I had planned to blog yesterday after work but as you know what they say about the best laid plans lol.  Anyway, we finally got internet out at the farm :)  So very excited about this.  I'm actually working on this on my personal laptop after work lol.  WARNING: there are a lot of pics in the blog post :)

She really likes to carry something when she goes for walks.  Reminds me of Patachou :)

Puppy weekend fun!!

Venus 15 weeks old

Hope you had a wonderful weekend.

Here we had both rain and sunshine which was a nice change lol.  Started Saturday with marathon shopping at Bauhaus (like Home Depot and Lowe's) and Ikea :)  A few thousand Norwegian Krones (several hundred dollars) later we brought our haul home lol.  I'm sooo happy to have a big car.  Was able to fit everything in even had place for more lol.

I really need to grow into these ears lol

I'm back :) I moved and other news :)

Hi everyone :)

Soooo sorry for the long absence from the blogger world.  I've been very very bad about not only writing a blog post but reading others *hangs head in shame*.

But I hope to change this.  I need better internet at home otherwise I have to bring my laptop to work and it do it after working hours.

Anyway :) I moved into a house with 2 friends, Melanie who is originally from Germany, and Riku who is originally from Finland.  The house is in Skollenborg about 15 min from Kongsberg where I work.  It is on a farm (no farm animals darn lol).  Nice and quiet out in the country.  Lots of farm land around with a population of around 300 or soo lol.  Kongsberg is huge compared to Skollenborg lol.

Been sooo MIA but have good excuse.... promise :)

Hi everyone ... anyone out there lol

I've totally be MIA and feel terrible about it.  My old laptop has gotten so bad that it takes forever for it to do anything (I'm on a borrowed netbook right now). It is about 10 yrs old and very very cranky lol. 

I'm heading to Houston, TX, USA in 16 days to visit my family and friends for 2 weeks.  Going to be a good but extremely busy visit.

And...... I'm getting a new and beautiful laptop.... wooooo to the hoooooo lol.  My bro ordered it for me and I'll have a wonderful HP with all the bells and whistles to play with.  I can't wait!!!

Soooo I promise to be back on and posting again on a regular basis. I miss doing that.

Take care everyone!!!

Hugs,
Anne-Kathrine :)

Happy Easter, New Additions, Knutehytta

Hi Everyone :)

Wow been a while since I blogged. Not for lack of things happening but not enough time :)

Happy Easter :) Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.

I've been having puppy fever for a while now. But the timing isn't right for me to have a puppy.  Between work, working out and taking buses I'm away from the apt 12 hrs at the time.  But I do need something to love.  Soooo I went to the petstore and came back with this:

It is a small tank only 5 gallons / 19 liters :)  I have 2 goldfish and 2 mini plecos (can't remember correct name for them lol)

Merry Christmas - God Jul :)

Merry Christmas - Happy Holidays - God Jul :)

I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas weekend.  I was able to visit with my Aunt Tone (who is actually my sis's godmother but who has known my my whole life lol) and Cousin Toril and there 3 kitties (Positana, Chanse, Svarten) this Christmas.  Which was great since I'm away from my family in Houston TX :)

Snowy tur of Kongsberg :)

Hi everyone :)

On Sunday I decided to get out and take some pics in the snow.  I left home around 1:30pm and it was about -10C / 14F and had been snowing for almost 48 hrs :) All decked out with proper winterboots, wintercoat, hat, gloves, long underwear, well you get the idea lol :)

View from my front door looking right :) 

Quick Note

Hey everyone,

I know I have been MIA lol. I just found out that in the process of changing all my emails over to my new email addy, all the pics on this blog got lost. Sigh. I'll have to go back and upload the one I remember where they go.

I promise to post soon :)

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone 1 day late :)

Hugs
