Hi Biita!! Welcome home! You know, I have missed you terribly, but KNEW once spring came you would be back! I can't wait to see your photos and hear all about your adventures since you were last here. How exciting to have a new home and gardens to plan! 10, 316 posts? It will take you another 4 months to catch up! Boy we are a talkative bunch, aren't we?
I see there are approximately 5,000 members so that would be about two posts each. Since some of us posted way more than two we used somebody else's posts. Too bad, they missed a lot by not being here. Do you want us to help you read all of them? We could do a shortened version for you. dooley
Finally, and about time too! So you've become a Southerner now, eh? And in the oldest town of Norway, it figures. As for hot weather, I really do think the sun got you. I'm so glad you had a lovely time while away, and we're waiting for your stories. *big hug* I'm going all mushy here.
What a surprise, welcome back Biita You seem to have had a very eventful few months. Glad to hear your move went smoothly, that Joshua is back from Iraq and that KB found a great job. Did you know that you can upload them directly to your Garden here at GardenStew now? http://www.gardenstew.com/about4115.html Just a little change while you've been away Glad to have you back
Hello there, Biita-- It is very nice to hear from you at long last. You have lots of news including a new place to live. I'll bet you will miss the blueberrie fields and the camping though. I'm very glad to hear that your son is safely back after his tour of duty in Iraq. I know that you are proud of him and greatly relieved that he is home. I look foreward to your posts again. Welcome back.
Thank you all for such a very nice welcomeback!!! Eileen, I seen that show in the states while I was there. I cried, seriously. I wanted to come back home at that moment. When we left Lofoten, the Lights were just starting to make their appearence. But honestly, I will still be able to see them, i just now have to travel out of the city to see them, instead of just opening my front door. Southerner,lol,,,(wonder if i can get that accent down now). But you know, now i have history stories for everyone. New pics of old Viking places and more Viking burial and longhouse sites to explore and share. Not to mention the Kong Olafs tower, the monk monastary that is now the library, old seamen homes, and some of the oldest ports in Norway. Yep, I'm on another island, but closer to mainland this time, just cross a small bridge, lol. Nøtterøy. Nut Island. Maybe I will fit in with all the nuts. Um, tree nuts that is, not people. lol, I guess we have to wait to see. Frank, I haven't been to the new parts of the Stew yet, but ohhh its just a matter of minutes now,,,,lol. I will have to definately look into those. The stew does just keep getting better and better. Thank you all again for the welcome back. I am just so happy to get back home!!!

Just popping in to do a happy dance: I hope we'll get to see you this summer, since we're passing Tønsberg on our way to Denmark. Waddayasay?
Wow!!! Thank you everyone. Sorry I haven't really been online. I have jetlag so bad i can't hold my head up. All I can do is sleep. Give me a few more days and it should pass. (i hope sooner) Droopy that sounds like a great idea. I would love it! Just let me know when.

I guess we've all been wondering about you, Biita. So glad you're back. Good to know your family is well and safe and that you enjoyed your trip. You won't have any trouble at all gardening your new place. It's great to have a blank slate to fill with goodies. "Stewbie welcome home".
