THE CROW’S
NEST----------------MARCH 24, 2006
THE BAD NEWS IS:
I have a problem-----I am
ALWAYS behind. THE GOOD
NEWS IS: I have a
solution. I think that at
the age of, uumm, 60 years
or so, a day’s time frame
should jump from 24 hours to
48 hours. This idea popped
in my head when I realized
our St Patrick’s Day Party
was a week ago today and I
still hadn’t found the time
to post the pictures. If
there were 48 hours in a day
I would only be 3 days late
in getting the website
updated. Okay, I know I am
whining about this when in
actuality I should be
writing about the humor of
getting ready for this
shindig. Rosie Denault and
I (with Chuck’s help) did
all the preparations (food
wise). The humor lies in
the fact that both Rosie and
I suffer a lot from
rheumatoid arthritis. One
of us is old. We would peel
carrots or do another task
for a bit then have to stop
to massage the hands and
talk about our medications.
It took us quite a while to
finish all the food. We
both did our share of
complaining about the legs
aching and the shoulders
aching and O my, we’ll have
to rethink doing this
again. Now, THAT WAS
WHINING!!!
The fund-raiser for our
streetlights was very
successful. We had a count
of 57 around 2 PM last
Friday. We served 120!!!
Thank goodness I usually
plan for a few extra. We
had Irish Stew and Tuna
Tetrazzini. There was lots
of polka music. Brandon
Kartes never missed a
dance. I think everyone
there had a good time.
The NCAA Western Regional
Hockey Tournament starts
tonight at the Ralph
Engelstad Arena in Grand
Forks. Minnesota plays Holy
Cross at 5:30 PM followed by
UND VS Michigan. “The
Ralph” is sold out. UND
seems to be at their peak
right now. Hockey fans are
excited.
Congratulations to Sara
Sorbo once again. She was
named to the First Team- All
State Basketball Team. What
a wonderful way to end a
terrific high school
basketball career.
We welcome Dave Ramsey to
the Edinburg Farmers
Elevator. He is the new
manager. Dave grew up in
the Park River area and now
resides in Park River.
Larry Pewe is retiring after
being at the elevator over
30 years. Larry moved to
Edinburg in 1963 as a newly
wed. He taught in the
Edinburg School system for
12 ½ years. Now Larry will
have more time to go with
Carol to the casinos and to
Grand Forks to play bingo.
We also welcome Penny Venter
to the elevator. She is the
new book-keeper.
Arnold Bjerke is starting a
business in town. When
Cliff Hilde died, it left a
void for all those people
who brought Cliff their
chainsaws, clippers,
scissors and such for fixing
or sharpening. Arnold has
the Stihl franchise so he is
ready to meet those needs
for people.
The winter weather has
citizens visiting other
parts of the country---and
world to enjoy warmer
climates. Vera Brandvold is
still over in Europe
enjoying Rome. TJ and Katie
Hall are in Palm Desert and
Loretta Monson just returned
from Minneapolis. Rose
Denault has booked another
flight to Germany. My
husband, Chuck and our 2
sons are in Tucson for a
long weekend of golf. Every
adventure sounds like so
much fun. I dream about far
away places as I sit at my
sewing machine.
School activities are
winding down. The All State
Music Festival is in Grand
Forks this weekend and the
Adams, Edmore, Edinburg prom
is April 1. Hope the
weather will cooperate!
Have a great day and will
visit with everyone later.
