LABOROUS YET REWARDING

Many of my American friends and family are celebrating Labor Day week-end. We do not celebrate that here in Norway and to tell you the truth I am not sure how one celebrates Labor Day or what it is. Must have something to do with work… right? For me Labor Day reminds me of childbirth and being rewarded for a lot of hard work. Let me know if I am way off track here. What does one do on Labor Day? 
One thing I know for certain is that you do not wear white pants after Labor Day. At least I seem to remember that being a dress code of sorts. Then again, I am not known for following the rules of fashion so I conveniently forget such things.


This week-end I am going to a Barbeque party at Karens Coming down the mountain. Bring some food to the party and have some fun! I am bringing Norwegian Lefse. Folded potato pancakes spread with creamy butter, sugar and cinnamon. Hope you enjoy!



 I do seem to remember that school starts for many after Labor Day week-end. Not for me though because I got some math homework to do today after the party. Karen at Following the Whispers has awarded me with the assignment of figuring out what 7 x 7 is. You think the answer is 49 don’t you? No…No…No….I need to dig deeper and find the root of 7 questions and link them to my past blog posts. Then I get to multiply by 7 bloggers. Oh I do so love a good challenge.


 Here we go, Linky ding to the following questions regarding previous posts of mine:


1.    Most Beautiful: Out of love, a letter to mygrandchild. I picked this one because it was written from the beauty of the heart.



2.      Most Helpful: The art of being invisible. I do not really consider my blog a “How to do it,” Most of my posts are self-help, but I find this one quite humorous. 



3.      Most Popular:  7500 page views Thor and his hammer beats all other posts time and time again. All my posts on Norwegian Mythology have been very popular, most likely due to the movie Thor.



4.      Most Controversial: Norwegian Soil. Terrorism and War, always heart wrenching and controversial.



5.      Most Surprisingly Successful: Games blogfest s right up there alongside Tor, guess we all love our games! Thanks Alex.



6.      Most Underrated: Your Mothers Heart. This post had hardly any views and I found that surprising. Maybe people are bored with their mothers and trying to understand them.



7.      Most Pride worthy: The other part of me. This post was the most difficult one to write. It stripped me bare and opened a lot of old wounds. I am proud of myself for having the courage to write it.



There you have it. I'd like to pass this award (assignment) on to the following 7 Fantastic blogs that you really should visit:


·        Stranger in a strange land  
·        Writing in the Crosshairs 
·        Everything Emerald  
·        Dafeena  
·        My Inner Fairy  


Have a continued wonderful week-end friends, and stay safe.
