Treats!

We just finished off the last of some tasty treats a wonderful friend named Beth made for us.  Ok, Mommy and Daddy ate them, but they smelled delicious!  (They were people treats, not puppy treats.)  Since Daddy had his accident and Grampa had heart surgery they weren't able to make any this year.  One of the cookies esp;ecially reminded Mommy of her great grandma.  Whe used to eat them all the time as a little girl.  Grandma was Scandanavian (Swedish/Norwegian).  It's a flat cookie made on an iron.  Mommy thinks it's called "krumkake."  She loves it!  She remembers other Scandanavian specialties they used to eat.  Lefse - a flat potato pancake type thing, lutefisk - a smelly fish that had the consistancy of jello (yikes!) and julekake - a bread type cake with candied fruit.  Mommy's favorites were the cookies and the lefse!

Mommy loved her Grandma very much so this gift brought back many wonderful memories.  Uff Da (that's something they say in Norway) that was a lot of writing!  Anyway - Happy New Year everyone!  Hope 2011 is swell!

Love,
Rudy and his gang.
