Autumn in the Door
Although our summer was short but sweet (23 days in September as I recall) Fall is here with a vengence. It has been rainy, windy, below normal temperatures which helps us to appreciate those special golden Fall days even more when they appear.
Most of you think of the upcoming weekend as Columbus Day Weekend, especially you Illinois folk, because you have a 3 day weekend from school. We in Wisconsin of Scandinavian heritage think of it as Leif Erickson Day on October 9 (notice that it comes BEFORE Columbus Day on the 12th!!). We celebrate quietly as Scandinavians are apt to do, mainly with eating and drinking. And dressing in funny horned hats. And maybe eating Lutefisk. Or other more palatable Scandinavian foods. And telling Ole and Lena jokes. If you are coming to Door County this weekend, be sure to stop at the Sister Bay Cafe for some Norwegian food choices (lefse, lapskaus, don't worry, no lutefisk) and shop at Solbjorg's Norwegian Giftware
Gallery. Maybe you'll see this gentleman, our favorite Norwegian pastor, Delmar Dahl.
