Jakobsgarden i Bjørkedalen

Arne Ivarsson tok over bruket då han vart vaksen. Han er førd i tiendlistene frå 1640 - 1666. I 1645 skatta han for kone og tenest-jente. Arne hadde eit godt mål og var flink songar. Frå ein haug, «Mastrehaugen», ropa han heimatt at dei skulle kome opp til honum med ein navar som han hadde gløymt (1 km.). Ein gong han skulle til sjøen med ein tømmer flote, gjekk floten sund. Då han skulle binde han saman, datt han i vatnet og dei såg honum ikkje meir. Dotter hans, Ingeborg, var med, og då ho gjekk med barn ho og vart berga. Arne var skrivekunnig. Han hadde fire døtre alle var arbeidssame. Kvar av dei lyfte ei skyrtynne opp på sleden og køyrde heim frå sætra. Kona heitte Gjertru og var frå Vatne i Ørsta. — Born:

1. Malene, f....., tvilling, budde på garden.
2. Ingeborg, f....., tvilling, g. m. Anders Torbjørnsson N. Bjørke­dal.
3. Marte, f....., g. m. Rasmus Verniksson Hesteflot, budde på Bjørneset.

The truth behind the Legend of Walking to School in the Snow

And if you want to keep snow out of your boots as you wade through it, just wear a pair of thick wool socks and fold them down over the top of your little short ankle boots.

And be thankful you have boots on your feet.  We heard a story this weekend about a lady who would go to school every day barefooted through the snow.  There weren't enough pairs of shoes to go around and the kids would share a pair of boots, walking from house to house, where they would trade off.  Lots of kids would go every other day because there was only one pair of boots for kids in a household, but this lady went everyday, because she wanted to learn!  She has 2 grandchildren in school now who are learning lots!

Or you can do this

Trying to learn HTML coding while knitting can cause errors. I did the cuff on the wrong size needles and am starting all over again -


My dear mother has finished the last 3 baby sweaters I started. It's because babies grow so fast!
This time I'm going to try to get it done myself!

How to keep track of stitches

I need to cast on 94 stitches, and I always loose count...My mom usually bails me out, but she's nowhere near to help me, so here is my solution.


Paper markers at each 10th stitch. I'm glad that I can count to 10! :)

Edible styrofoam from Amway in a house of 3 cats

You can eat this packaging material, it's made out of popcorn they told me.



The cat-who-won't-let-me-look-at-him is very intrigued with the stuff.


Especially when I put my hand into the box and make mysterious rustling noises.


Last night we made the cat so crazy that it made a flying leap into the box and dumped the whole contents on the floor. So we'll be looking for some other breakfast cereal this morning!
