Daughters of Norway Christmas Festival

C. & I were invited to attend with other friends the Daughters of Norway Christmas Festival at Our Saviour's Lutheran Church in Burien.  It was a fine afternoon of foods, friends, music, and fun.

Also, _dancing_!  In a church!  (Rather a shock for a pair of Southern Baptists.)

Here are some celephone pictures (not all of which are very good, alas).  You can, of course, download any image(s) you wish to have for your own.

We very much enjoyed the celebration and its fellowship.  God jul!

One hears of these places, and sees their pictures in scenic calendars and coffee-table books, but the real thing--in binocular vision--is considerably better:  more unmistakably real--and much, much, bigger.  This was a wonderful trip.  Thanks, Andy.

A bit overcast & gray, but we saw beauty anyway.
