WATCH POP

Wish you all a nice day, all over the world

Regards,
Jon And thank you for the Christmas Trees ! " As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree' -- probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on. " Woody Allen The day of the first Moon landing, I was in the British Army, working with a group of American Forces on a N.A.T.O job in Stavanger in Norway.

We all spent the time in a bar, glued to the T.V. watching the landing and celebrating together... Great Days, the Norwegian local people made us all feel very much at home and very welcome so thanks again :-) " As the poet said, 'Only God can make a tree' -- probably because it's so hard to figure out how to get the bark on. " Woody Allen Enjoy da day, fill every empty; and, empty every full!! It's nice to be important; but, it's also important to be nice! Hail well Norge! Whenever I see the Norwegian flag, I think back to the sea of Norwegian flags during the running of the cross-country skiing events held in Lillehamer during the 1994.

Norway showed how an Olympics should be done, with pride and joy. I hope Lillehammer or some other site in Norway gets the opportunity to host another Winter games before they turn off the gas on my flame...

Thanks for the post Jon! or as we say, TUSEN TAKK. The day was great.

And Chuck, Lillehammer was special indeed. 17. May is the only day in a year, we do see someting close. Every kid has a flag.
