Explanation:
Just for fun (for moro skyld) I am sending Grandma this photo of my parents (saa skal jeg sende Bestemor dette fotoet av mine Foreldre). You can see it's old (Du ser det er gammelt), but it's amusing all the same (men det er moro likevel).

Explanation:
This is the text as it is written:
"For moro skjyld saa skal jeg sende Bestemor dette Pottret af min Forældre
Du ser det er gamelt men det er moro aligevel"

which means:

Just for the fun of it I will send Grandmother this portrait of my parents. You can see it is old, but it is fun anyhow.

He probably means to say that he is sending the portrait, but that is not what the text says.
