Not only work but also fun...
Though having a lot of work on this Board Meeting at Kjersti's place in Bergen we managed to get a lot of it done a n d enjoyed the hospitality of the Norwegian Ladies' Circle. Hildegunn invited us for aperitif to her beautiful home in Bergen and Nina, a fellow circler of Kjersti, spoiled us with a fantastic dinner where little Thomas and sweet (what was the girl's name, Kjersti??) served snacks and champagne!
Our fun and fellowship part was accomplished by Tracey's presence who travelled on her own expense all the way to Norway only to put on her pink apron and prepare the meals for us! Thank you Tracey for being such a good company!
Our heartfelt thanks to Kjersti an her family for opening their home to us (and even moving to their friends or great parents in order to get beds for all!!)
