For their 10th anniversary Ole and Lena had dinner at the Lake View restaurant because the wine selection was good. On their 25th anniversary they had dinner at the Lake View because it was quiet. For their 50th anniversary they went to the Lake View because it had an early Senior’s special. Their 60th anniversary is on the horizon so one morning at breakfast:
Ole: “Lena, do you wanna go out for our anniversary?”
Lena: “You betcha, I think we should go to da Lake View restaurant.
Ole: Ya, shure, but why do you vant to go der?
Lena: We ain’t never been der before.

Ole was hired to paint the line that goes down the center of the road. The first day he managed to paint almost a mile, and his boss was very pleased. The next day he only painted about half a mile, but his boss thought that he'd probably started off too hard on the first day. But on the third day he was only able to paint 20 yards. The boss called him into the office and demanded an explanation. Ole explained, "Well, you see it's getting so darn far to walk all the way to the paint bucket."
Happy Sunday!
"I wonder vat time it is?" Ole asked Sven. "I don’t got a vatch but I know it’s not 9:00," Sven answered. Ole says “Vel if you don’t got a vatch how do you know it’s not 9:00?” Sven replied “’Cause at 9:00 I’m supposed to be home, and I ain’t home now."
**************************
Ole goes to the library to get a book. A few days later, he comes back and says to librarian at the counter, "Dis book was very boring. It had too many characters and too many numbers, so I would like to return it."
The librarian says to her coworkers, "Hey I found the person who took our phone book!"
Happy Sunday & Labor Day! We will be "closed" on Monday, and will resume curbside orders on Tuesday 9/8 😄

Ole came home and saw a note on the refrigerator from his wife, Lena.
Lena wrote, "Ole, this isn't working. I'll be staying at my mother's."
Ole opens the fridge, the light turns on, and he says to himself, "What da heck? Da fridge is verking fine!"

Lars asks Ole, “Are you visiting us tomorrow? Do you need directions?”
“I’m all set,” replies Ole. I have da address, a GPS, and a GPS override.
“What da heck is a GPS override,” asked Sven.
Ole says, “Dat woud be Lena.”

Eddas, sagas, staff rhythm & dancing at a distance. This event will be held at 1pm, safely distanced and outdoors. The accompanying Loom installation built by Kari and artist Kurt Seaburg will be on display through November 8. ✨❤️✨

How to Make the Most of "Romjul," the Norwegian Word for This Week
Happy Sunday! Here's another from the archives:
Ole was looking for a job and spied an ad that interested him in the paper.
"Help Wanted, Private Investigator, clear thinking type with lots of ambition."
Ole thought, "Dat's me all right," and went for the interview.
The interviewer started with a little small chat and sized Ole up pretty quickly. "Ole, just a few more questions and I think I can make a decision. First, what's one plus one?"
Ole thought and quickly replied with a smile, "It’s 11."
"Good answer Ole, now for one a little harder. What two days of the week start with a T?"
Now Ole was happy, cause he knew this one too, "Today and tomorrow," he replied.
The interviewer was a little startled. "Ok, Ole, ok, . . . How about, Who killed Abraham Lincoln?"
Ole, happy as a lark, got up and left the interview. On his way home he ran into Sven.
Sven asked, "Ole, how did da yob interview go?"
Ole replied, "Great, I got the yob and they've already put me on a case!!"
