My husband’s family is Norwegian, too. I like to hear his grandparents’ Ole and Lena jokes, hehe.

Lena called the airlines information desk and inquired, “How long does it take to fly from Minneapolis to Fargo? “Just a minute,” said the busy clerk. “Vell, said Lena, “if it has to go dat fast, I tink Ill just take da bus.”

What a day. Full of emotions. Happy Anniversary. And, I’m so sorry about your grandpa. My grandpa died while I was pregnant with Cora, he died at the end of May, so coming up. Awful, I don’t remember the exact dates. I love how you celebrate your Norwegian heritage. Awesome.
