P.S. On watching my daughter learn about her Finnish great-great-grandparents from my father: “There is an old proverb: “A tree with strong roots laughs at storms.” I don’t think anyone is laughing at the 2020 tempest, but I couldn’t help but think, as I looked at the stern set of my great-grandmother Susana’s countenance, that her sisu might be part of the reason we are still afloat in these parts.” More on sisu here.
P.P.S. The silliness of my teen years.
P.P.P.S. Festive tabletop finds, and a recipe (or two) to match!
