Can you guess which one is me. I identify as honey, mom, and grandma. I have a wonderful husband, two sons, one daughter, one daughter-in-law, one son-in-law and 6 lovely granddaughters, 4 grandpups and a grand kitty.

I live in the small Norwegian community of Petersburg, Alaska, where I was born and raised. I love being Alaskan and I love my little Scandinavian town. My mom and dad are both first generation Americans, with my mom’s dad coming from Sweden in the late 1920’s and my dad’s mom and dad coming from Norway in the early 1900’s. Retiring in my home town, surrounded by family and old friends has been very comfortable.

This blog is about the things I love, recipes for wild fish, game, wild and garden berries, sewing and winemaking and a little bit about my little red schoolhouse and Scandinavian heritage.
