Bente & Arne's

Tuesday we drove out to Porsgrunn where my Grandma grew up. We are staying with my dad's cousin Bente and her husband Arne until Saturday. They don't speak English but she is a fantastic cook! She even has a walk in fridge. There son Jens-Arne is 30 and lives about 5 minutes from here. He has cerebral palsy and is a fighter. He is super independent and speaks English amazingly well and has been pretty much our only link to conversation. We've had a lot of fun talking with him and playing Uno. This is Bente's house. I now understand why my Grandma's house was decorated the way it was.
