It's my Scandinavian Minnesotan Lutheran Lake Wobegon homestead roots

Wow, maybe we are 'brothers'. My birthday is also in April, last Friday, maybe that is what got me down. My father was Scandinavian (Finnish) and of Lutheran descent, and grew up by a lake in Ely, Minnesota, where his parents moved at the end of the 19th century. Not only that, but my sister lives in Washington State, and used to live in Kent, probably within a stone's throw of the Gwahir family.

Good morning! How is everyone? I'm just now sitting down to some poached eggs and coffee.

We had a wonderful chat for those who missed it. Be sure and sign up with our egroup if you haven't already. Just freepmail me if you want the info, or just say so and someone will help you.

Anyone seen Rosie Cotton on here lately?
