Today is our constitution day, actually our bicentennial. We are celebrating, as usual, with children’s parade, music, flags, traditional food, and traditional costumes.
We are celebrating more than ever, having used the last months for public discussions and reminders, adding depth to the values we do promote in our Constitution.
Telling each other what we do well, where we need to improve, what we have to keep, no matter what.
Stig and me dressed in our traditional costumes and walked into town. We enjoyed the parade, we attended the service in the cathedral, we talked to friends, now we are at home relaxing, getting ready for dinner.
I just thought I’d show you some glimpses of our day. Celebrate freedom wherever you are!
You two look great! I love the hat on Stig’s head. A few days ago, on Britt Arnhild’s facebook page I saw a picture of ironed traditional blouses…the text was all in Norwegian, but I knew it meant that Constitution Day was coming! When we visit in December, you must show me your purse, as it looks like the embroidery is fabulous and I want to see it close up. Lanny wants to know what is the significance of the ribbon Stig wears on his lape?
