MISS APRON MEETS THE FAMILY

Next day after working hours Miss Apron was called out from her (Serina's) room to help me serve the shrimp salad for near and dear family, also known for their love of shrimps.
Somehow she was a bit shy, but she soon relaxed as she heard the guests praise the food.
My sister- in- law, Sigrid, and her husband Terje, were impressed by the style and the looks of Miss Apron. ...
Sigrid is soon 67, but still going strong, working in elementary school, helping challenged children.She has more or less always been working with children all of her life.She looked after little brother Gunnar while their parents were busy building the home in which she now lives. Married Terje at 18 and less than a year later adopted Terje's nephew, Tom. She has also been a foster mother of two brothers, who still call her mother, then they adopted cousin Kristine Maria, Serina's good friend and "big-sister", finally Ruby came, saw and won in 1997.
Terje is educated nutrition engineer and has spent the best years of his life as a manager of dairies.He also has supported Sigrid in her multiple projects; grocery store, convenient store and a successful, private kindergarten.
Besides Terje is a talented inventor. I must not forget to mention his non toxic pesticide used in greenhouses; a solution made of grapefruit seeds. Mrs. Mac, here's your organic pesticide. I cannot believe I did forget Terje's product.
The shrimp salad must be allowed to stay in the fridge over the night,, for the flavors to blend richly.In the background, the mini greenhouse with Amrita's holy Basil sprouts. They grew so slowly, I found it best to place them in front of the new windows, so that they can get more sun. Miss Apron totally agree, she has had some problems adjusting to our cold climate.

She cuddled up in Sigrid's lap, as do all small children. Gunnar was in the kitchen preparing fresh toasted sandwich bread. As always I only manage to get photographs from the start, later on we get busy eating and talking.

All in all Miss Apron had a smooth first day in Norwegian social life.She's now looking forwards to getting around a bit. She's truly a Lady of the World, there's so much more to see and learn.
