[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Trivia Tuesday

[Ericka]

Today is all saints day. You were right about the turn ups and other veggies that were carved to be creepy with a candle in it to ward off evil spirits. You had to have pretty big turn ups to creep out spirits in my book! I don’t think Norwegians started out doing this, but then again, I didn’t ask my dead relatives or anything. Turnips are probably easier to carve than rutabagas!

Thank you to all the Nfb members in the past for doing all the work they did to make things all those slightly, better for us and generations to come. And I think God for the family members I’ve had that have supported and encouraged me rather than treating me like I can’t do a thing for myself. many great relative’s and supporters have passed away. Too many saints to count!
