How You Know You are Loved if You're Married to a Norwegian
The first milk from our cow
A friend of a friend says that her Scandinavian heritage husband has a daily limit of 30 spoken words per day. I would say my husband is somewhat similar. Once we got into what I thought was an awful argument and we didn't speak at all for a couple days- sat across from each other at meals, went to sleep together, etc... all in perfect silence. When I finally couldn't take it any longer I said "Enough! we have to talk this out." He said "Talk what out?" He didn't know we were giving each other the silent treatment.
So when I came home to this jar of fresh milk in the fridge, I knew that it was the expression of pure love and esteem from my husband. It's the little things- like the internal injuries he sustained milking a wild and never milked before cow- that lets me know just how very much he really loves me.
Now... How to explain the Mother's Day present he gave me. A mule.

Nice to know at my age I can get thrown from a bucking mule, fall flat on the ground, and get back up.

Looks like colostrum, a premium health food now-a-days.
Colostrum ice-cream is at the top of my list of foods I've yet to try...sounds yummy!
