Join me during my third year as I start school, learn to ride a bike, and search for "pretty girls with colored toes."

Ancestors


Hello, Great-Aunt Helen! Sorry I'm 25 years too late to meet you. And "hi" to my great-grandparents, Ole and Lena (yes, just like in all those Lake Wobegon jokes). I am visiting my ancestors today at the Finnish Cemetery outside of town. Can you see the windswept plains rolling out behind me? I thought my last name would be hard to spell when I got to elementary school, but from reading the names on some of these graves, I think I lucked out! Try writing "Bajuniemi," "Huotari," or "Roasakka!"
