What do trolls, vikings and my bronze coral reef beads all have in common?

Well, nothing really.  Other than I lived in Norway on student exchange for a year and today is Norwegian national day (also known as 17 Mai!)

I like to shout out to Norway and all the friends I made there on this day.  I was supposed to be attending a reunion this summer with those friends.  We have postponed until next summer.  

In the meantime HEIA NORGE!
