skald -- Icelandic lady writes a most steady and consistent journal, enriched with clean-shot photos, about her extended family, her crafts, her small island-nation, its history and traditions, and travels. I find her plain-folks, no-frills blog style endearing
 
I found this on Moonriver's blog, and I thought it stated our Skald very well...

    skald ....when she posts it makes me think of a simpler life where things aren't so dramatic and are more sure.

    whenever she comments on something i've written i feel a steadying hand on my shoulder.

    thankyou skald.

    Well, Howdy there our sweet Fallyn, you got right in there, now did you.  See that Skald, and I didn't even have it all put together, but I hit the post key instead of the draft, and she was right there wanting to comment to you!  Sweet of her wasn't it?  Must be because it is easy to be that way when the one she is commenting on is so sweet!

  • crybabylu said on Apr 18, 2008....

    I remember one time you and I were posting on the same blog, and it was Polarheart's, I believe, and the post was on "overly nice" people, and I thought among other things you said, you commented that sometimes people say that about you that you are so sweet.."not overly" , but sweet, and you said that you want them to see you as a person just like everybody else...

    Well, Skald, it is entirely all your fault for being so sweet!  Ha!  So, if you want to change our impression of you, you are going to have to get mad sometimes, and stomp your feet, and I don' t know maybe threaten to kick some butt!  Ha ha!  That was suppose to make you at least smile, hopefully laugh!..

    Skald

    Another thing, as I was perusing your blog this evening, well I guess it is already morning as I am finishing this up.  And I will whisper this is your ear, just in case you didn't want anyone else to hear this...{ whispers in skald's ear }  Psst. I saw where last September, you contemplated leaving her.  and you almost gave Moon, a terrible scare!

    Remember, he yelled out....he said 2 words!..."Please Don't"...by the end of that blog, you decided to stay.  I know we aren't good about telling everyone how much all of you mean to the rest of us, but believe me when I say, we feel it deeply in our hearts!

    We are one big Soul Cast family, and we have guards at the doors if you try to  leave, so we beg of you not to ever re-visit those thoughts again, because I tell the truth here, when I say, I don't know how we would go on without you, dear!

    "two words, skald my friend. please don't. i admit i don't visit and comment on your blog often, but whenever i do, it's always like i walk across a sunny alpine meadow full of nodding violets... :-)"

    see. I even copied it off for you so you could see it in his own words...Skald, you are truly love and would be sorely missed...

    Please know how much we enjoy your wonderful blog, with your stories about interesting things and places you visit, and your home, and children and grandchildren stories.  How you get the children most every weekend, and what a blessing that must be not only for the two of you, but for them also. You share all your holidays with us too again through story and song.  I can see that music plays a big role in your life.

    You help us see Iceland and all its many wonders through your eyes and ears, and it is such a joy for us, because most of us will never get to see it in person, but when you share with us your marvelous stories, we get to dance around in your head  just a little and envision it as you share it with all of us.  Thank you for taking all the time you do on preparing each blog to share with each of us.

    Happy one year anniversary to you again, can't wait till we get to help you celebrate the next anniversary too.

    We love you , dear sweet Skald....

    Skald, Aw! Did you catch those dear sweet things that Queen just said up there a ways.  I didn't even know she had slipped in.  It fills my heart with joy when I see these young people take to you in that way. How special and what a testament to you of your love and your grace.

    I will add this right along with all the rest how much you are also loved by me, and how much I personally enjoy reading your blog and that we get to share things once in awhile in such a special way...Love, Dee

    I have enjoyed many of skald's posts. I would love to have read more but hey, there are so many posts here and so little time. But skald is definitely a great gal to have here on SC. A toast to her with some shnapps. Skål!
  • scipio said on Apr 19, 2008....

    Skald is a true friend in all respects. Her simplicity and sincererity has a touching effect on everyone here. She is like a Santa Claus up there in Iceland and sending everyday something nice - be it pictures or comments. Her blogs are like receiving christmas presents  every day -  she has something sweet to say to everyone.

I normally don't do birthdays, not even my own.
