Thanks for the reply, Vicky ...

When we lived in Norway we often housed American choirs and bands. What they liked best, I think, was that I always offered to do their laundry and I made them good ole' American chocolate chip cookies!!

There's still a chance that we may move back, and as I speak, my husband is over there right now. If we do move back, you can bet your booties that an open invitation stands for my dear friends.

And, just to add a little humor to this conversation ... when my parents decided to visit, they flew to England and took a ferry over to Norway to "really" experience the European lifestyle. Let's just say that they won't be travelling that way again. As my Christmas newsletter so aptly put it ... "Visitors are always welcome. Just dial 1-800-upchuck". (But you have to understand that when we lived in Oklahoma, the number to dial was 1-800-tornado ... and now that we live in Houston it's 1-800-traffic).

P.S. Does anyone know how the Generation group got their funding?
