It is about 8:30 am and we (Steven, Jonathan, Dennis and myself) are headed north. As usual we have a full load with car and motor home. It will be a big help having Steven along to help drive. Last year we left on Sunday am and everyone was in church. This year we said our good byes last night and this am. It is really a great and unique group of people. Dennis preached at the resort yesterday and Uncle Al sang. The both did a good job.
CONGRADULATIONS TO LISA, ANDY, COOPER; and welcome to Olivia. We looking forward to pictures and meeting her.
Thats it for now.

Just a quick note. Baby Girl Skov born Saturday morning. Andy said she is a little pip squeak...only 8lbs 10 oz. 21 inches long. Compared to Cooper who was 10 plus lbs she does look little. Cooper and I went to see her after his nap. She was getting ready to eat around 5:30 ish. 4th time for the day. She is a good eater...anyway she was yesterday. Still have not decided on a name. Think it might be Olivia but not sure. Going to see her again this morning.
Will keep you posted....

As we Anderson are not Fins we are of the Nordic area. It is better to celebate St. Urho than St Pats day. Following is info on St Urho day so that you can spread the news of this great Nordic hero.

Saint Urho Welcomes You!
St. Urho is said to have chased the grasshoppers out of Finland, thus saving the grape crop.
The legend of St. Urho originated in Northern Minnesota in the 1950s. However, there are differing opinions as to whether it began with the fables created by Sulo Havumaki of Bemidji, or the tongue-in-cheek tales told by Richard Mattson of Virginia. Either way, the legend has grown among North Americans of Finnish descent to the point where St. Urho is known and celebrated across the United States and Canada, and even in Finland.
St. Urho's Day is celebrated on March 16th, the day prior to the better known feast of some minor saint from Ireland, who was alleged to have driven the snakes from that island.
The legend of St. Urho says chased the grasshoppers out of ancient Finland, thus saving the grape crop and the jobs of Finnish vineyard workers. He did this by uttering the phrase: "Heinäsirkka, heinäsirkka, mene täältä hiiteen" (roughly translated: "Grasshopper, grasshopper, go to Hell!"). His feast is celebrated by wearing the colors Royal Purple and Nile Green. St. Urho is nearly always represented with grapes and grasshoppers as part of the picture.
We hope you enjoy our effort to honor this mythical Finnish-American hero. Please feel free to share your St. Urho experiences and celebrations by clicking on the phrase below and sending a note to the webmaster.
