THE CROW’S
NEST------------------June 6,
2010
Goodness but Edinburg was
alive and active yesterday
afternoon. We had our
city-wide and country-wide
yard sale. It was scheduled
for yesterday and today. It
seems like everyone did
their shopping the 1st
day. Our garage sale was
almost sold out within 1 ½
hours. It was pretty quiet
around town this morning.
The seniors have graduated
so school year 2010 has
wrapped up once again. We
didn’t get to Edinburg’s
graduation as we were in
Minot for our grandson’s
graduation. Brother David
said the Edinburg speaker
was really long winded. His
wife, Loretta was the
speaker!! The seniors asked
Loretta to make the
commencement address.
Edinburg not only has
traffic when there are yard
sales. You should see the
streets between 6 and 7 AM!
There are many people out
walking and enjoying the
sights and sounds of early
morning. I see Orlyn and
Sharon Nygard out and about
as is Vera Brandvold. She
not only walks in the
morning, she walks in the
evening also. Rosemary
Denault and her puppy, Lacey
are out walking also. There
is a young man that goes by
me most every morning on
roller blades while I am
making my way from the north
end of town to the south end
on highway 32. I am
guessing this guy probably
is a counselor or something
at the Park River Bible
Camp. Carol Bjornson and
Loretta Monson walk a wee
bit later in the morning.
We have had our fair share
of rain----and wind. Last
Wednesday it was so windy it
was hard to keep the car on
the road as I went to Grand
Forks. I think it has been
unusually cool also. Just
waiting for some real warm
weather to help all the
plants grow. That is enough
complaining about the
atmospheric conditions.
Our Edinburg Community Club
is sponsoring an “Art and
Hobby Fair on Main” the 30th
of June. We are asking
local residents to showcase
their hobby. I know Dale
Gemmill paints and has many
canvases to display. Alfred
Hanson of Mountain does
beautiful wood working and
will have his work there
also. We are hoping for
those that quilt,
needlepoint, sew, scrapbook,
do floral arranging and even
have a specialty in the
field of cooking to come and
let everyone enjoy their
talents. The Halls are
providing food for everyone
as a celebration of the 60th
year they have had a wash
plant in Edinburg. I know
this will be a fun night for
everyone who journeys down
to Main Street.
The orioles, hummingbirds
and catbirds are back. I’ve
made grape jelly twice and
will make another batch
tomorrow. I surely don’t
want the birds to go hungry.
Fred and Faye (Troftgruben)
Kohlmeyer are here for a
couple of weeks. They come
from Florida every summer to
visit Faye’s folks, Harold
and Lillian at the Good Sam
Home in Park River. They
are staying with Doc and
Lana Larson.
Vera Brandvold and her
sister, Verna Severson are
leaving next week for
Bavaria, Germany. They are
going to see the passion
play which is re-enacted at
Oberammagau every 10 years.
I know they will have a
wonderful time. I hope they
enjoy fresh spargel
(asparagus) also. Vera,
have a schnitzel for me.
Have a great day and we
will visit later.
