THE CROW’S
NEST--------------JANUARY
26, 2006
Last
Monday morning I awoke to
wind howling, snow blowing
and a downright nasty view
outside my living room
window. With a smile on my
face I thought, “Now, this
is the way winter should
be”! I was delighted to
think I could sit cozily in
my home watching an
old-fashioned blizzard. I
knew I didn’t have to be
anywhere---I selfishly was
not thinking about people
having to leave their homes
for work, school and such.
School was 2 hours late and
the wind and snow blew for a
while but pretty much ended
by 10 AM. The wind and snow
did make for icy roads in
the area. Today our
temperatures have hovered
near the 40 degree mark. It
really has been an unusual
winter.
The Valley-Edinburg Titans
play basketball tonight over
in Crystal. They were 8 – 1
before dropping the last 3
games. I hope they have a
good game tonight. I am
sure it will be crowded as
they are playing North
Border (which includes Neche).
Our hometown gal, Sara Sorbo
reached her 1,000 points
last week playing basketball
in Fordville. Sara plays
for the Adams-Edmore
Prowlers. She didn’t know
she was close to 1,000
points so it was quite a
surprise when they stopped
the game to recognize her
achievement. I understand
all her team mates knew how
close she was but they were
all good at keeping it a
secret from Sara.
Congratulations!
I visited with John Evenson
today and he said he is
really feeling much better
and stronger and soon ready
to take on the world. It is
great seeing him out and
about again.
Our sympathy goes out to the
family of Johnny Seim.
Johnny passed away Sunday
night and his funeral was
held at Trinity this
morning. Gena said she
knows it will really be
lonesome now with Johnny
gone. Do you realize they
were married for 67 years?
That is really something.
Johnny was 95 years old.
Many friends and relatives
came to pay their respects
to the life of Johnny and to
his family.
I am putting out a request,
no maybe more of a plea for
readers to email me a
picture or 2 that you maybe
would like to see posted on
the website for everyone to
enjoy. There are only so
many things I can take
pictures of so I would
appreciate any
contributions. Just email
them to
omaopa@polarcomm.com
and I will post as many as I
can.
There is not a lot of
activity other than
basketball at this time of
year in Edinburg. To liven
up the community our
Business Club is in the
planning stages for a St.
Patrick’s Day party March 17th.
Bernice Flanagan has booked
a polka band and we will
serve an Irish Dinner before
the dancing. Everyone had
such a great time when the
Norwegian tourists were here
we decided to try a fun
event again. Tickets will
be $10 per person for the
meal and evening
entertainment. All monies
will be used towards the new
light poles for Main
Street. Come and have a fun
evening!
Fighting Sioux hockey is
still a weekend priority in
our household. Have a good
day and will chat later.

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