THE CROW’S
NEST-----------February 6,
2010
Well, this weekend is a
bummer. Snow, sleet, rain
and everything in between
seems to be falling from the
sky over most of the
country. We had planned to
go to Minot for the weekend,
but level heads prevailed
and we decided to stay put.
The only saving grace is the
milder temperatures----
which, of course, cause all
the problems.
Staying home gave me a
great chance to spend coffee
hour down at the TABLE OF
KNOWLEDGE at Cenex. I
need to give you all a recap
of everything that I learned
from this esteemed group:
1. Bob Halldorson has
purchased a new grader.
Nobody seems to know what he
will do with it!!!! I am
sure in time he will let the
“table” know.
2. Mike Spanier has
FINALLY gotten a job
(according to LeRoy) and
then he takes a day off to
just bum around Edinburg!!!
Can you imagine!!! In
actuality, Mike retired from
Polar a few years ago, but
now has signed on as an
independent contractor. He
has been working in Lakota
for the last little while.
I have to say it is
hazardous to be around the
TABLE OF KNOWLEDGE as
there is so much stuff that
goes on.
3. LeRoy Pederson made
oyster stew for the annual
Fire Department gathering.
I understand he has done
this for the last “Tir-ty
or For-ty Years”! It
seems like everyone had a
very, very good time.
Everyone should spend a
little time listening to the
regulars at the TABLE OF
KNOWLEDGE as it is a
fun, fun place to watch a
bunch of guys just blow off
steam or tell tales of local
events. They all seem to
truly like each other even
though the barbs are fast
and furious.
David and Loretta Monson
have purchased Wanda Hall’s
home and will be moving in
to town this coming summer.
I am SO looking forward to
having them just around the
corner from us. It is a
dream to think I live within
a 2 block area of both
brother David and sister
Ruth. How wonderful is
that! We will have much
“togetherness” time!!!!
Anderson’s
Café has been serving torsk
the last few Saturday
nights. The crowd response
has been wonderful. The
torsk is SO good. Chuck and
I have breakfast down there
about 5 mornings a week. We
have a great breakfast and
enjoy visiting with Sir Mike
Olafson and Frank and
Marlene Anderson. I wish
more people would patronize
the café during the week as
we would be lost if we did
not have a place for people
to go for a meal.
A note for everyone: The
Edinburg Quick Response
REALLY NEEDS HELP. The
Quick Response has and is
such a vital and needed unit
for the community.
Unfortunately, there are not
people to help with this
program. Let Randy Johansen
know if you are interested
in becoming a member.
Our thoughts and prayers go
out to Wally Nygard and to
Jim Otto. They both had
surgery for stomach
aneurysms. Wally is home
and recovering, but Jim is
still hospitalized in Grand
Forks. You both are in our
thoughts and prayers.
Lots of “Edinburgers” are
enjoying warmer climates.
Carol and Larry Pewe are in
Arizona as is Dennis and
Beverly Hammer. Harold and
Alida Flom and Eldon and
Linda Troftgruben are in
Arkansas. Nick and Maxine
Sveen are down south again
as they have been for many
years.
Hope all is well and we’ll
talk later.
