Pihtipudas Rock

Pihtipudas used to have a rock festival (pretty famous for quite some time in Finland) called Saapasjalka Rock. Well, that is gone for long but our family summer cottage for 41 years now is still there and going strong. It's having it's own rock festival, but actully totally silent one. Silence totally rocks ! Noise and all sort of sounds surround us so completely that we are able to only notice it when all the noise goes away... like in Pihtipudas besides the lake Alvajärvi.
That lake also rocks visually for me - the scenery has been sort burned into my head and whenever I see it captures me and I could spend hours to just stare at it (if it would not be the bloody mosquitos which this year are big and beasty ;o) ...and well ok, I'd need few beers with me too.

Say No - it is great

"No thanks. Not interested." - what a wonderful & respectful response! Good straight forward fast "No" keeps thin...
