The other day I took a break from farming and traveled into the town of Ribe.  Along the way I passed quite a few runestones.  Most of them were just the typical "This stone was raised by... for..."  but a few were decorated more nicely than others.  One had a really cool serpent winding all around, that must have been pretty expensive.  Once I got to Ribe I looked around and tried to find a stylish broach.  One I really liked was made of silver and had a serpent all contorted on itself on one side.  This was way too costly for me, so I ended up buying a necklace with a pendant of Thor's hammer.  I think it looks pretty good, maybe I can attract some women with it.  I'm still trying to get my own land, but I am young and need more money in order to do so, not to mention a wife to help run the household.  On the way back to the farm I ran into a Geir Godi and asked him how the crops would do.  He said all I could do was pray to Tyr and hope for a good season.  This I will do.  I may also fashion a bear out of wood so that I may be successful in my hunts as well.
