Salmon for breakfast, haddock for supper and a hard day’s work in the hay fields in between. Actually, it wasn’t that hard. Martin and his friend, Haldor, began work at 10AM. I joined them around 10:30AM and raked the grass down the hill to the road. That way it would be easier to load ontoContinue reading “Hard Work & Haddock”

Last night, after evening service at Funningur’s old school house (which has become the community center), I headed to Sasi’s to spend the night and help her prepare for Gudmar’s 10th birthday party. Alis spoke at the service–topic was how Christ can take our burdens and one day (Perhaps Today!) He will return and allContinue reading “Bread & Kaffe”

August 29, 2021 Today is Sunday and I look forward to going to the 11 a.m. service in the small, sod-roof church down by the Funningur harbor.  Last night I was with Alis at a Christian Bible Conference, hosted at the denominational headquarters.  The speaker talked about how God leads us–Hvussu lei∂ur Gud?  Although I understood only 5%Continue reading “Hvussu Gongur? (How’s it going?)”

August 26, 2021 I heard a rooster this morning saying, “Coo, coo-doo.”  So even in the Faroes, the animals speak another language.  The rooster and his hens seem happy in the morning mist, which is even thicker than yesterday.  Ah, yes–what a great day it was yesterday! Sasi texted in the morning and said to come for morningContinue reading “Busy Days in the North Atlantic”

August 23, 2021 Sunday was my day to sleep in.  With my eye mask on, I didn’t wake up until 9:30!  And, honestly, I could have slept longer!  Maybe it was the travel catching up to me.  Or maybe being in the Faroes just does that to you.  The air is fresh and cool, the clouds are low and damp.  InContinue reading “A Very Doy-Lit* Day”

August 21, 2021 I awoke early, not knowing the time but ready to greet the day.  With the bedroom curtain pulled back, I got my first glimpse of Funningsfjørður from the upstairs bedroom window.  There were low clouds, green grassy fields, treeless, craggy mountains, and corrugated metal rooftops–green and red and black–all surrounding the dark water of theContinue reading “Funningur–Home Away from Home”

It’s official–today is the last day of summer!  Where did the season go and what in the world has happened to me?  As Yoda might say–Serious blogger I am not.  But this may be the time to jump back in with a re-cap of the whirlwind adventure called MY LIFE–Summer 2021.  So . . . hang on! Back in April,Continue reading “Yoo-hoo! (Yes, I’m still here!)”

Easter preparation has been so enjoyable this year! Our traditional lamb kebabs and couscous for dinner last night and planning for Easter brunch with friends at The Four Seasons Club in Pembine certainly satisfies my tummy! But mostly this year’s preparation has really satisfied my soul. Celebrating the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus ChristContinue reading “Oh, Glorious Day!”

Winter in the U.P. has been pretty mild, so we just can’t complain! However, Scott and I had already planned to “jet off” somewhere warm for a couple of weeks and Florida seemed like the perfect place this year. We could return to Sebring after four years, then head over to the Gulf to seeContinue reading “There and Back”
