I am a home body and working at home never tires me as much as being "out and about". I used to be a medical lab technician years ago and loved it. I loved the people I worked with and the work itself. She sounds like a very talented and gentle soul. <br />You have Fall! It was 87 here yesterday and supposedly it's coming after some bad weather moves in tomorrow night. Then 70's....we have very little color change and I am sick of summer so bring it on..Fall, cold, rain, snow....I am tired of sunny days and heat! LOL!

We Norwegian Lutherans were a more stodgy lot, I think. We sang holiday hymns in Norwegian in church when I was growing up and it sounded like such a sad, mournful language to my young ears.

It is interesting that the Finnish traditions still exist but you are far enough north that it can. Northern Iowa was doing double church services with German and English services but that was gone by the 40's. All the memories seem like good ones and Shirley had a good life anyway. Take your day and enjoy it with the leaves. L.
