THE CROW’S
NEST-----------------MARCH
30, 2005
WHEW!!
It just doesn’t seem
possible the Edinburg
website has been up and
running for a whole year!
The year has lent itself to
many hours of frustration
trying to “get things to
work” on the website. I
thank you for your patience
when the site isn’t updated
as often as it should be. I
had no clue that it would
take so much time to
maintain the site. I
thoroughly enjoy the
computer work and will try
harder to make the Edinburg
Page more appealing. I
welcome ideas from everyone.
Hopefully spring is just
around the corner. I can’t
really put my finger on it,
but there just seems to be
something in the air that
shouts “spring is here”.
Hopefully that is not
wishful thinking on my
part. The last few days of
warmer temperatures has
helped the snow to
disappear. Doran Olafson
spotted robins a couple of
weeks ago. Chuck has seen
meadowlarks also. Paul
Sigurdson saw 16
bald eagles out by his farm
last week. Tulips are also
peaking through the soil in
front of our house.
Lenten season was very
special this year as we
shared it with the Pembina
Hills congregation. It is
great to be together as one
group. Pastor Erik led a
wonderful Easter Service.
The rest of the day was very
quiet in our household. We
always have had a houseful,
but this year it was Chuck,
myself and Orlando. It
actually was a fun and
relaxing day. Of course,
there were way too many
left-overs.
Carol Bjornson is on her
way home to Edinburg as I am
typing this. We are so
happy that both Carol and
John will be in their own
home tonight. Carol Pewe is
recuperating from hip
replacement surgery. We
wish her a very speedy
recovery. I understand
surgery was a little more
complex than the doctors had
anticipated. O that Carol,
she’s a feisty one so a
little surgery won’t keep
her down long! She’ll soon
be dancing in the aisles at
Cenex as she dusts the
shelves.
Thank goodness for this
week of March. Last week
was too hectic trying to
keep up with all the games
in the Sweet Sixteen and the
collegiate hockey
play-offs. So glad we have
“PIP” on our television
sets. I guess I will have
to root for North Carolina
in the Final Four. I’m not
a big fan of the Tarheels,
but my son-in-law is and I
want to keep my position as
his favorite mother-in-law
intact. It was a sad day
when my KU Jayhawks lost. I
really am waiting for the
“Frozen Four” to start in
Columbus,
Ohio. Hope the UND hockey
team goes all the way. I
suppose I will sit with my
nose to the television
watching every play and
holding my breath every time
the puck heads towards
Jordan Parise (UND goalie).
He has had a super
year. GO SIOUX!
Our thoughts and prayers
are with the family of Cliff
Hilde. Cliff is in the
hospital and is not very
well. The older I get the
more precious life becomes.
Big holes are left in
Edinburg when we lose people
we care about. It has only
been a few weeks since Lloyd
Gire died. That whole
generation is slowly leaving
us. Ron Ulberg was here
last weekend for the funeral
of Edith Kadlec. He emailed
to say his dad, Marvin is
hospitalized down in the
cities with pneumonia and
heart failure.
The school prom is just
around the corner---April 9th.
I have been busy shortening
Heather Foseide’s gown. It
is just beautiful. It is
red with lots and lots of
beading on it. She looks
just gorgeous in it.
Heather is going to the prom
with Kelby Laxdal. They
went together last year
also. I plan to go watch
the GRAND MARCH with Laurie
(Heather’s mom). I will
take pictures to post on the
website.
I flew to Kansas City for a
wedding a couple of weekends
ago. The bright yellow
forsythia was in bloom, but
the trees were still bare
and the grass was brown. It
wasn’t all that warm either.
(Loved that as I didn’t want
them to be enjoying spring
when we weren’t---it’s a
family thing!) I know Ruth
and Greg are enjoying green
grass and warm weather in
Florida. Hope they bring
some home with them in their
suitcases. Have a great
day.
