Steve,
Well said and put my friend. I have to ask, without googling it, what is lefse?
Thanks for sharing the images and stories to go along!
Tony
It is “Squarehead” fodder… I was married to one of them for 15-years.
LOL!!!
Now you made me go and look up Norwegian Flat Bread!
Tony
My grandmother Hartman was half Norwegian and half German… I grew up eating flat bread made in a big cast iron skillet.

Thankfully we have these great memories!
Nona, (Grandma), made the homemade Italian Bread what seamed like everyday, that we’d swear could sink a battle ship, but we never tired of eating it!

Tony –
Yes, the food can speak to us. Especially food from our past!
On the topic of guns speaking to us and the language used, here’s an example: ring shadow.
Most of us have strong appreciation for the high condition pieces – the less observable wear the better. But also, there are the lightly used, carefully used, pieces where the use and wear can enhance the appeal. I often find ring shadow such an example. The carbines below are both .44-40 (.44-40 speaks to me) and a carbine with special order two-thirds magazine also speaks to me.
I’ll also add that rifles (and even better for my taste, carbines) that were used a lot (for what they were made to be used for) and have extensive stories to tell, can also be appealing:
This carbine called to me the second I laid on it. It was a working carbine and came off a Montana ranch. It’s sat around many a campfire. And yes, it helps it’s a .32 Special. I would have taken that .32 Special sight off had it been in any other chambering:
