Ethnic festival junkies
Yup, that's what we are, even if we aren't even the ethnicity being celebrated.
Here's Myles trying to be a Viking at Mt. Jewett's annual Swedish Festival.

I'll have more up in the next day or so, like pictures of a half-scale working model of a Viking ship (by the way, one reason I adore my husband is that when I told him it was a half-scale model, he said, "So only 40-feet long"). And explanations why I just cannot keep away from these ethnic picnics.

And doesn't everyone know that Viking long boats were typically 80 to 90 feet long?
BTW, I can't believe that i was actually able to log on today for the first time in weeks.
Certainly the evidence of Nordic genes is throughout the Ambrose family. Look at all those darn red-heads! And the "true" Irish---all the dark-haired Ambroses (before many of them went grey). However, our ethnic traditions little resemble the Swedish heritage celebrated in Mt. Jewett. No St. Lucia, no lutefisk.
I can't believe you got on, too. The typhoon must have caused problems with your personal censor.
