Sorkkistentie 11 |
I turned 50 in 26.5.2001. I had invited the guests to the cabin. There
were about 240 of them. The hall was completely filled with people,
there were chairs and tables even in the hallway. The catering was from
the Suontausta museum and I chose the foods they were offering. The
celebration begun with a dance, instead of an ordinary waltz we had
a “birdy dance”. Before we ate, my eldest daughter said
a grace from Western-Finland. My youngest daughter sang for me accompanied
by the orchestra. My husband gave a speech, which was about my life.
These have been the best things in my life. During my birthday party
I had to do only two things. First, I made a birch switch with the man
from our neighbor; second, a good friend took me to the balcony to drink
some sparkling wine. There we watched the guests party all night. That
was a nice experience too.
