   Is Sol a boy or girl name?Sol is a unisex name, but more often given to girls. In Roman mythology, Sol is a sun god. In Norse mythology Sol (written Sól) is the personification of the sun. That is why Sol is a girl’s name in Scandinavian, but also in Spanish and Portuguese. Also, Sol is a given name, usually a form of “Solomon”.

   As a fellow Minnesotan, I remember folks who did not have a basement, and still hung laundry out on the line in the Winter and it literally freeze-dried. A few sunny days in a row would do the trick. Luckily, we did have a basement, so one of my tasks was to hang laundry there. It gave us kids the opportunity to play “hide and seek” between the rows of laundry. Ahhhhh – those sweet memories…..

    I once got fired from a family owned small business, by the oldest son who wanted to prove to his parents that he knew how to manage. OK, it was late spring, summer beckoned, so I just lit out for the woods. In the fall I got a call to come back again – from Mom. Now SHE really knew how to manage. I eventually left of my own volition and they threw a party for me and gave me the lovely velour pullover that was in the store window up front.
