There is indeed a strong Norweigan heritage up here. They let me move here because my mother was from Norway. I haven't told them she was from Norway, Iowa (about 15 miles west of Cedar Rapids)


There is plenty of snow up here right now. I don't mind it though. Actually it was pretty nice out today. I love the area up here. If you haven't made it up this way before, you should sometime. It's really quite a bit different than much of Iowa. The last glaciation missed this area so we have a lot of hills, bluffs, valleys, etc.
