Annikki is famed for many things - but one of her specialities is designing snowmen.
Many will recall how, a few years ago, I was greeted at 4:30 am by this snowman.
Or the one she created in 2006 November:
Or her seated laplander of late last year:
But her creativity phase has reached a new high.
She wanted to make a snowman which moved.
Who would think she would ever achieve this goal?
But now she has succeeded, aided by the enthusiasm of her grandson, Samuel. First they created a snow-slide:
And Annikki created a snowman which is delicately balanced on a plastic plate which children use to slide down snow hills.
We are waiting for a good video camera before she lets the snowman slide down the snowslide!!
Annikki takes art to the limit.
I was really amazed and laughed my guts out when I saw her working in the garden late last night (after 11 pm) and saw that snowman just ready to slide down the snowhill!
Annikki and Jacob Matthan live in Oulu, Finland. Annikki is a Finn, Jacob an Indian. They are the founders of the Findians Movement way back in 1967. Both are now retired. They have been married for 57 years. This blog is an account of their lives and thoughts as reminiscenced through Annikki's and Jacob's eyes.
