i am fully american--but second generation swede. all of my grandparents were from sweden, and my parents were the first children born here. swede runs deep in our veins. my kids are half scottish--and my middle daughter says that's why they are uppity females--warriors on both sides of the family!

in fact, there is lutefisk for christmas dinner, again, this year...

my grandpa on dad's side called me "lilla flicka"--little girl. i loved it. maybe it was just his early alzheimers, and he really couldn't remember my name!! either way, the "flicka" has been around for a long time...
