Cup of Tea
One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me.I was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident.
Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of my favourite toys.
Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water.
After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home.My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!'
My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up.Then she says, (as only a mother would know... :)
'Did it ever occur to you that the only place that baby can reach to get water is the toilet?'

Hi!
Greetings from Finland, Europe.
I have joined the group this morning, now it is 10.45 am here (EET).
I hope someone of U will like this music which is in my native language. I apologize my poor skills in American English and the terms which I was not taught during my education in the 60/70/80s.
So if this occurs pls let me know.
Warm regards
R.

So, if this little song made someone smile in the US or Canada, I feel satisfied.
This is mostly because I was told long ago that the citizens of these countries have sent nice parcels eg. to my father during the so-called Finnish Winter War in 1939/40 when the Red Army attacked my small country, and my grandfather, with all the other adult males in his community, had to take their weapons, join the Finnish Army and try to stop the attack.
And they managed .... I'm so grateful.
R.

I do like beautiful photos.
Just to let you know though the link requires you to enter a GMail account and password. I don't have those.
Well, you know we are quite mad about ice hockey here. Yes, life is meant to be enjoyed as much as you can. You enjoy the Spring too.

Well, RTV, the links didn't work. I will take your word that they are lovely photos.
I imagine Finland is quite a beautiful country, scenic-wise.

Oh yes, my country really is beautiful,
but the people are also used to wars, hunger etc.
and U can see it on eg. finnish paintings,
i don't know if U are one of the wounded angels, like the one on this sad, beautiful masterpiece,
http://www.ateneum.fi/default.asp?docId=11990
but i suppose some of you, my new readers are...
and i try to help you if i only can.

Thanks, it really was nice to talk. I'm glad you liked the Finnish painting i sent. You'll easily get some more if you wish.
About my first name. I got it in 1955 in Finland, it is Risto. The Swedish version is Kristian, so in English perhaps Chris would be the nearest one. But of course you can call me whatever, eg. Ritch, and why not Claus Santanen?
A link to the Finnish calendar, my nameday is the 15th March.
Yours Chris
PS. This morning i saw at the news that the Finnish Flash had scored last night 3+2 for the Ducks against the Black Hawks. So he really is getting to be in good shape again after the break. :)

Dear Phillipa
I feel it nice that u are interested in my small country, i like that. Now i have some information for you:
My roots are in Ostrobothnia, the eastern cost of the Gulf of Bothnia. My ancestors come from a village called Yliharma, and there is a nice little clip to be seen. (perhaps you recognize the melody.....) :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofZFlr1V14A
it is sung in the local dialect by a humourous band...
many immigrants therefrom live nowadays in the states around the Great Lakes states both in the USA and Canada...

Would you rather we just call you Risto?? If that's what everyone calls you - no need to "Anglicize" it unless you particularly want to.
So Risto - or Richie - or Chris. You choose what you want us to call you okay?
