They aren't buying my line that I spent so much getting up here ... that should be gift enough. :) Still have a few days and the closer it gets ... the shorter the lists get! <BR/>Saturday I aim to bake all day. Pulla and cookies with Christmas music rolling through the house and hot cocoa warming me up. Hope my shopping is done before then. <BR/>Happy preparations to everyone!<BR/>-aKuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24277692.post-71940377014278826272007-12-18T11:58:00.000-08:002007-12-18T11:58:00.000-08:00Should have proof read message! dkShould have proof read message! dkKuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24277692.post-82270770474577196172007-12-18T11:56:00.000-08:002007-12-18T11:56:00.000-08:00Yes, he flew out on Friday morningto Boston. Then...Yes, he flew out on Friday morning<BR/>to Boston. Then services were at<BR/>Paul and Alice Sorvos on the Cape.<BR/>Next to Stones in Mattapisett, MA.<BR/>The to Ahos in Shelton, CT, and <BR/>Kiviniemi's in Bethel, CT. Was to<BR/>fly home from Hartford, CT. Snow.<BR/>Was to leave at 5:30 and arrive in<BR/>Mpls. in time to get last flight to<BR/>Brainerd at 9 .m. Didn't happen.<BR/>Got to Mpls. after midnight. I had<BR/>already made reservations for him on the first flight out on Monday.<BR/>NWA gave a voucher for a night at<BR/>Holiday Inn Express (slept 3 hrs.).<BR/><BR/>Am glad he made it back in time as<BR/>invited Manor residents to join us<BR/>in our apt. from 2-4 for Finnish<BR/>pulla and coffee. Heather had <BR/>brought squeaky cheese so had that,<BR/>choc. coffee muffins and Reino's<BR/>fudge. The muffins are really good<BR/>so will put recipe in Newsletter. <BR/><BR/>AX and AK packages got mailed <BR/>yesterday, Priority Mail, so <BR/>should arrive this week. Let me<BR/>know when they arrive. Contents <BR/>aren't that great but something to<BR/>open! dkKuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24277692.post-89729269751231049942007-12-18T07:30:00.000-08:002007-12-18T07:30:00.000-08:00what did isa go to boston for? speaking trip? How...what did isa go to boston for? speaking trip? How was randy's 40 birthday heather? and how was the sunday school program? Our program was this last sunday too. The girls couldn't wait for it and were so excited all week! Frans is working on the video from it now, and I can't wait to watch it:) <BR/>I am pretty much done with my christmas shopping, maybe just one or two more things to get...and I am hoping to do some cookie baking today with the girls.. Maybe I will bake the cookies this morning, then after the girls get home from school they can decorate them. I'm making sugar cookies, ginger snaps (frans favorite) and those cookies with the hershey kiss on top. I'm not much of a baker, so no prune tarts, etc for me! Wish anita was still here, she would have the prune tarts:)<BR/>Hope everyone else's christmas preparations are coming along! I love this time of year!<BR/>JennyKuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24277692.post-16255469467548127762007-12-17T04:10:00.000-08:002007-12-17T04:10:00.000-08:00Heather, I'll be at your house! ~jen~Heather, I'll be at your house! ~jen~Kuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24277692.post-57999854045759613922007-12-14T16:56:00.000-08:002007-12-14T16:56:00.000-08:00I also hope everyone's Christmaspreparations are c...I also hope everyone's Christmas<BR/>preparations are coming along fine.<BR/>Isä flew to Boston this morning.<BR/>They had so much snow so no one <BR/>could come pick him up. Instead he<BR/>took a bus to Barnstable, on the<BR/>Cape, and Paul Sorvo is picking him<BR/>up from there. Reported 5-6 inches<BR/>of snow but melting fast. Conn. is<BR/>supposed to get lots of snow so <BR/>hopefully he'll be able to fly home<BR/>on Sunday evening from Hartford.<BR/><BR/>The Sunday School Christmas program<BR/>is at 3 p.m. so if anyone can make<BR/>it, come on to Brainerd. They serve a meal after the program. dkKuoppala and Inlawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16833071479616000881noreply@blogger.com
