THE CROW’S
NEST----------------JANUARY
7, 2006
Last
Thursday at 9:20 AM a
phenomenon took place in
Edinburg. I looked out my
kitchen window and could not
believe what I was seeing.
There was this bright,
bright light in the back
yard. It took me a couple
of minutes to figure out
what was going on----there
was actual sunlight peeking
between the clouds! What a
delight and treat that was.
We have had cloudy weather
since Christmas. Sadly, we
are back to cloudy weather.
I know the weather is
something we should not
complain about---and we
truly have no reason to
complain about ours. We
have had a very mild
winter. Temperatures even
have reached into the high
30’s and lower 40’s.
Unfortunately, these warm
temps have caused lots of
fog and occasional freezing
rain on our roadways making
travel a bit treacherous.
Our son, Mike and his family
had horrible driving
conditions coming from and
going back to Kansas over
the holidays.
I hope everyone had a
wonderful Christmas. It was
so much fun to see all the
sons and daughters and
grandchildren home visiting
in Edinburg over the holiday
season. I know I enjoyed
the activity in our home
with 4 of the grandkids
here. It seems there always
was a game of scrabble being
played along with eating and
lots of laughing. But now
it is back to our regular
routine. School started
last Tuesday in town and
most of the college kids go
back tomorrow.
The Valley-Edinburg Titans
are winning basketball
games. They won the
championship at the Holiday
Tournament in Park River
during Christmas break.
Last night they beat the
Cavalier Tornadoes, 51-49.
They obviously are a team to
watch.
We also are “watching” Sara
Sorbo. Sara is an
outstanding player for the
Adams-Edmore Prowler
basketball team. Of course,
we claim Sara as an
Edinburger even though she
goes to school in Edmore.
Sara has played great
basketball all four years of
high school. She averages
15+ points per game and is a
real team leader. Sara is
the daughter of Allen and
Judy Sorbo. Congratulations
Sara for being a “stand-out”
in everything you do.
Our sympathy goes out to
Mary and Everett Seim.
Mary’s sister, Grace Nelson
died a couple of days ago in
Missouri. Mary flew down to
be with her. Grace lived
for a time in Edinburg
before moving to Missouri.
Also, sympathy is extended
to Bert and Marianne
Eisenmann. Bert’s dad died
this past week in
Wisconsin. Our thoughts and
prayers are with both
families during this time of
sorrow.
A very special
congratulations goes to
Kimberly and Travis Beck on
the birth of their son,
Anderson Lyle on New Years
Eve. Grandpa Lyle Amundrud
was SO proud to announce the
birth last Sunday in
church. We are so happy for
both Kim and Travis and wish
them the best. Grandpa Lyle
said he was on his way down
to meet his new grandson.
A little bird told me John
Evenson was down at Cenex
the other day for coffee.
O, that table of “Truth and
Knowledge” will really be
buzzing again. We are so
glad you are out and about
and hopefully getting
stronger every day.
The Trinity WELCA’s 125th
Anniversary Cookbook should
be delivered soon. Loretta
Monson, Vera Brandvold and
other committee members put
lots of time and effort into
making this a very special
cookbook. Recipes were
submitted by cooks from
throughout the area. I
think Trinity’s last
cookbook was compiled in
1969-----AND-----people
still call wondering if it
is available anymore! The
new cookbooks will be sold
for $15 each and I know they
will be worth every penny.
Spring is not far away. I
got my Gurney Seed Catalog
about a week ago and Mrs.
Monson’s science students
are busy working on Science
Fair projects. Have a
wonderful week and will talk
with you later. A special
thank you to Mitch and to
Lisa for being such faithful
readers of the website.

Just enjoyed the
colors of the green Christmas tree and the dried asparagus fern outside
Rose Dean's back door.
