Happy Birthday to RennyBA at his Terella
Since my blog is about sharing my daily life and adventures from Norway, I might as well share this ‘official secret’ too 
I feel I am a man in my best age – I mean, the alternative is much worse! Even more: I’ve had a rich life so far and this is how I looked like a while ago:
Renny, the ski jump champion!
This small turning point in life, calls for a review of the passing year:
#1: The family is growing in a prospering way: I received an early BD present from my oldest son – A Nokia N82! It shows that he’s really grown up and wants to make Dad happy. Today he left for at least a three months stay in India, working on an ecological farm. He is a champion of fare trade and the environment and gave me his one month old mobile phone since he does not wish to be tied down by technology while he is exploring India.
#2: I love Blogsphere more and more as I keep in touch and learn from others all around the world and constantly make new friends. Remember my saying: ‘Make Blogs Not Wars’ as I feel sharing through Blogsphere, break down cultural, religious and other barriers. The development on my blog is overwhelmingly and there are more viewers than ever. I’ll celebrate three years anniversary the 11th of November and will get back with more facts and figures then.
#3: My wife and I have made new local friends in Sweden at our vacation home in Mariestad. We’ve also had some good times there with my colleague Tor and his wife Anna. Even more, we finally met our dear blog friend Mrs. Lifecruiser and of course Mr. Lifecruiser too this year, while celebrating Anna’s 3*20 anniversary in Norway. I’ve also received a BD card some days ago from my blog friend Dackel Princess – thanks Maribeth!
This list could be endless of course, but let me end up the review with my dearest and lovely wife Diane. I know I am a bit head in time compared to some of my regular visitors, but technically, it’s actually the 4th of November in Norway now. So I post this just passed midnight, since my wife has a very mysterious surprise planned: She will pick me up at the office and she emphasised that I had to be well dressed. That means that after a good night sleep (I’ll go to bed in 10 minutes) in my new year, I will have a busy day at work and then everything can happen in the evening.

Were you really into ski jumping back then? Oh look I’ve signed your page, a little late but the thoughts were definitely there either the day before or on that day!
Happy Birthday Renny! Maybe blogging helps keep us young?
I am so sorry that I am late for your birthday. Happy belated Birthday. I hope it was wonderful.

Better late than never I suppose – a very happy birthday to you Renny, and I’m so sorry to have been late. It’s been an eventful week for me.
It’s never to late to wish you a Happy Birthday, Renny! I just found out another of my bloggers also shares the same day. I LOVE that you were born! You are one of the best reasons for all of us to be alive in the blogging world. And I mean that sincerely!
Belated Happy Birthday…
I totally agree – Make Blog, Not War

Happy birthday, Renny! I wasn’t on the blogsphere since yesterday and miss this event. Zut I am late and don’t like that!
( a lot of work because school begins tomorrow) But be sure I think to you from France and stay tuned! Love the little snow’s boy on the picture!!!
Well I was lucky enough to wish you happy birthday in person and am very glad that you liked your surprise. I won’t tell anyone because then you will have the option of blogging on it. I noticed you took some pictures along the way of course
I love that picture of you, there is a definite “Renny quailty” I see even then, you have an aura of self confidence that is hard to resist 
At least for me it was…and still is.
Hello Renny,
Belated Happy Birthday, my friend

I hope you had a fantastic day, and night!! You deserve all the best life can give you, for being such a delightful communicator!
Nice photo, by the way: how old were you?

Happy Birthday, Big Guy! ^5!
Renny, Happy Birthday for you + your terella.
I was so curious to know what ‘terella’ means and I found the answer over the About page. Moreover, it’s great to pause a little bit to take a look over your life as many people are just rushing.
p.s. as much as I’m aware, Women stop aging @ 21
I wish you the very HAPPIEST of birthdays today Renny! Hey – why don’t you strap me on & let’s go dancing!
Happy BD Renny. Hope the next year unfolds with more of the best parts you liked from this year and greater skill and ease with more of the lesser liked parts from the year that’s leaving.
Ah my dear Renny, what an adorable picture of you in your ski gear! You said once that Norwegians are born with skis on their feet!
I wish for you, dear friend, a very Happy Birthday and a happy and healthful year ahead!!
Hugs!

Great gift from your son. What a nice thing to do for dad. Sounds like you are going to have a great birthday. So, since it’s already the 4th in your neck of the woods here goes:
