While visiting Lisbon, Portugal today, I was surprised to see a Finnish Naval vessel here. Since I have Finnish heritage I instantly recognized the Finnish military flag. Anyone have an idea about this? Kiitos.

Hyvää Vappua and Happy May Day to all.
I am very proud of my Finnish Heritage. I am thinking of my Finnish Grandparents today and all they have given me.

Happy St. Urho’s Day!

A day of celebration in remembrance of St. Urho driving the grasshoppers out of Finland and saving the wine harvest. Be sure to raise a glass in remembrance!

We have a middle school named after Fred Korematsu here in El Cerrito, California.

Last year at this time we were in Chang Mai, Thailand.
What a beautiful place with beautiful people.

I figured since I joined up and have a few followers on Blue Sky I needed to post something. This looked safe enough, therefore here is my wife’s cat in a box.
