Lena and Ole are in Arizona

Yes, we’ve been here since early December 2011. For those of you in the midwest, our weather is very warm — that’s why Lena doesn’t blog very often!! We had a great time in Tucson in early December at a great Scandinavian Fest — meeting so many Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Finnish folks. We just traveled to Indio, California for the Western Motor Coach Association rally — over 1300 motor coaches (owners and their pets) were enjoying the Indio Fairgrounds for over 4 days — we also found a number of Scandinavian folks there when we showed our wares. We also have some great new field guides — (see other post) that will make great gifts — think Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.

Lena and Ole have added many Adventure Publications field guides, especially for Arizona.
Some of the guides include “Arizona’s Rocks & Minerals”, “Birds of Arizona” (by Stan Tekiela), “Cactus of Arizona” — all $14.95 each. Fish of Arizona is $13.95 Another great book is “Amazing Hummingbirds” — a 9″ x 7.5″ 144 page guide for $14.95 with extraordinary photographs and fascinating text that makes this a must-have book for wildlife lover and nature enthusiast — also makes a great gift.
