So this time we picked them up at Gardermoen and brought them to Skien, where they stayed most of the time that they were in Norway. Out from Skien we visited relatives in Holmestrand, Skoger and Kongsberg. But we also went to see places like Brevik, Langesund, Stathelle, the locks at Vrangfoss and - packing of heyballs at Lunde. Lloyd is a retired farmer, and he got very interested in the way the farmers here are putting the heyballs into plastic bags, and the machinery they use when they do it.
In Canada they have a lot of space more or less wherever they go. Therefore it looks a bit different to see very narrow streets we have here, like those we find in Brevik and Stathelle here in Telemark. People here live so close.
Lloyd and Lauretta also made a trip to Kristiansund to visit relatives there. They both have most of their roots from Norway, so if they should visit all places where they have relatives they would need a month here, at least.
Now we look forward to see Lloyd and Lauretta Hansen at Norsk Høstfest in Minot in North Dakota in October.
