Summer - and how to be loved!

Elias, Åshild, Vigdis and i have had one week of our holiday. We had a really good time with Per in Oslo (nice apartment you`ve got there, Per!!). We used our time at the castle and in the Vigeland-park (it is a big park with a lot of sculptures). Really nice! Sitting on a bench in the bothanic garden, close to the zoologic and geologic museum, wasn`t a bad experience either. As you can imagine - a lot of opportunities to take photos.

After the weekend we spend some days at a family-camp, arranged by Youth with a mission. A lot of children, mothers and fathers. Meetings, discussions and time to just be together as a family.

Use time together! I say yes to that. I feel being loved when my wife use time with me. I don`t need a lot of things (services, sex, presents or whatever) to happen. To use time and just be together is maybe the most important thing for me. Conversations while sitting on a bench with nice scenery - that`s it! And - i am lucky! My wife need the same thing... Wondering if we do anything else than sitting on our bottoms? Well, yes. Of course. Training and working... I just think that we use too much time of those things which feels meaningless (in the end). Agree?

Back at Ålgård. It`s still summer. I have been painting and working on my house. Have been at work some days, - and will work one more week before i`ll have three more weeks with holiday.

Yesterday, after the children had fall asleep, i went to the water for having a bath. And what a bath! The temperature was perfect! I had a good laugh while swimming around there. Joy and delight!

I will come back with some pictures!

Om meg

I grew up at Årsvoll, a farm close to Sandnes. Sandnes is a city at the west coast of Norway - not far from where the oil is(!). I married Vigdis in 1995. She is from Bjerkreim, a place up in the mountains... a wonderful place! We have two children and enjoy our life in our little house at Ålgård - not far from Sandnes.
