Hey DonChris, maybe you can tell us about some of the superstitions from your country.

And thinking about it, you can consider us your international pen pals. some of the kids here get extra credit in English if they have one.

See I told you we would be educational too

Hello DonChris! I still have family members in Norway, but haven't seen them for years. They used to visit us in America every few years and buy out all the stores when they came! I have a son who will be 14 in December and he is looking for a Pen Pal. Would you be willing?

I had a pen pal in High School and on Senior years she came to visit. Those were the days. We had a blast.
