I went to see my mother today for the first time since I left for Niger, but she was not there. So petite, so beautifully clad, so nicely embedded. But it was not her. My heart cried out to God afterwards. I don’t know what I said, because it was in a language that […]
After Akershus, my dad’s friend took us to NRK, where he works. The primary reason however was not touristic, but to continue tracing my Norwegian roots.
Having logged in as official visitors, we stepped into the studio where my dad went twice a week as a child, singing for the boy choir Sølvguttene.
There were lots of […]
I had a great day today and saw lots of Oslo, but it was far from your average tourist excursion.
I can always see Holmenkollen close up at a future time, but I wanted to catch up on my roots and wanted to see the places where my dad grew up and the places I […]
My mother and I, picture taken just a little less than a year ago.
You held a speech Mom and I was so proud of you. Still am!
The journey went well. I am tired, but have landed in Sweden this morning.
A lot of things (and feelings) have been going through my mind lately, but through it all, I feel joy, peace and happiness. Someone promised me nearly two years ago that if I came to him, he would carry me, day […]

I will be leaving for Sweden on Monday.

I have a special little friend named Aichatu. She’s young and she always has a twinkle in her eyes. She’s a big rascal who always gets into trouble with the boys. I don’t know how many times I haven’t saved her from getting whacked, but it’s been a number of times now. Wouldn’t want her […]
Horseback riding in the never ending outback of Zinder is something all horse people need to experience at some point in their lives. Although there are loads of things you can do better elsewhere, this is one of the things where Niger takes a lead over most other places in the world.
Now our good friend […]
In November, Anette & I got to know some people from Nigeria at the race track, introduced by our mutual friend, the Snowman. They were really nice people whom we really enjoyed talking to.
This weekend, they were back in town and came to visit, which was a lot of fun! We talked about everything from […]
