On Friday, our dear friends, the Sillanpaas, came to visit. They brought spice cake and pulla for coffee time. They even brought firewood in an old suitcase. The suitcase has a story: Rauni and Paavo brought that suitcase with them from Finland in the 60s! It carried all their belongings for beginning life in the US as a young couple. A few years later, the suitcase went on a trip to Finland with the Sillanpaas who now had 2 children. However, the suitcase went to Israel instead of Finland. It was four days later when the suitcase arrived. I think this suitcase should be in the Nordic Heritage Museum as an immigrant family heirloom!
