You know...I think there is something so special about seeing pages handwritten like that. I spent a few weeks last year transcribing my past bits and pieces of journals and then printing them out, tossing out the originals. They just don't have the soul that the handwritten ones did!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-71398761529412370282010-01-02T11:13:51.060-08:002010-01-02T11:13:51.060-08:00Sonja, my grandfather and his family were saved in...Sonja, my grandfather and his family were saved in a revival in Norway too.

Your post about your mom reminds me of one of my all time FAVORITE books, First We Have Coffee. I read it over and over again. Have you read it? My dad is 100% Norwegian, so of course I think about Norway all the time. I find it so encouraging when women post about mothers and grandmothers - women influencing other women is such sweetness, so right and true. It's nice to "meet" you!Pom Pomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01524994024698986829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-73881488835408929472010-01-01T14:43:59.000-08:002010-01-01T14:43:59.000-08:00I'm so glad I found your blog.
