THE CROW’S
NEST-----------------MARCH
10, 2005
March
is sure showing its “LION”
persona today! The wind
started howling last night.
I heard rain hit the windows
during the night and woke up
this morning to a little bit
of snow on the ground. The
winds have been whirling
around most of today causing
some schools in the Red
River Valley to start late
or close. I just heard on a
TV newsbreak that a couple
of semis had jack-knifed on
I 29 near Grafton and near
the Olso exit. I think it
is a wonderful day for me to
just stay at home. Even
feels like a day that I
should fix a thick, hearty
soup for our evening meal.
CITIZENS
OF THE COMMUNITY: BEWARE!! You are officially being put on alert! If you see a car with the
license plate “OPAOMA”
heading towards you---run
for cover. I am now in a
practice mode of learning
how to drive on the left
hand side of the road. I
decided since we leave for
Ireland next month I needed
to get my driving skills
honed to perfection. I
asked the mayor if it was
okay for me to drive on the
left side of the roadways.
He just absent-mindedly
nodded his head. I took
that for a thumbs up.
Winter hopefully will soon
give in to springtime
weather. I will miss winter
as I have gained SO much
information watching daytime
talk shows while quilting,
knitting or sewing. Did you
know that to really make
sure your hands are as germ
free as possible you should
use an anti-bacterial soap
and wash them in hot water
as long as it takes to sing
“Happy Birthday” twice?
Also, I learned from the
Oprah show that Preparation
H works wonders for bags
under the eyes. I should
know. My eyes are almost
bag-free and I have the
cleanest hands in Edinburg.
A person is never too old to
learn something new.
Special congratulations to
both Lawrence Sondeland and
Paul Bjorneby. They were
honored by the American
Legion for being a member of
Post 156 in Edinburg for the
last 60 years. A potluck
supper was held at the
Legion building. Both
honorees had family in
attendance.
Chuck was one of the judges
when students of Loretta
Monson’s science class set
up their science projects to
be evaluated and critiqued.
The projects were set up in
the school gym and the
public could come and look
at them. I was amazed at
the ideas, experimentations
and work that each student
had put into their project.
The students were getting
prepared for the Science
Fair in Grand Forks
yesterday (March 9th).
Mrs. Monson said last night
that 13 students are moving
on to state competition.
Mrs. Monson
puts so much time and effort
into helping each student
attain their very best with
the experiment they chose.
She’s a wonderful mentor.
Our thoughts and prayers
again are with John and
Carol Bjornson. Carol was
taken back down to
Minneapolis with an
infection. We now have
heard she has meningitis and
will be treated with
antibiotics for quite some
time. It has been a long
and arduous road for them.
Please remember them.
O, by the way---I said I
had gotten a thumbs up from
the mayor on practicing
driving on the left hand
side of the road. Well, I
really am not sure about
that. You see, after living
with the mayor for over 40
years I promise you he hears
only ½ of what I say. He
nods his head to a lot of
stuff I say. Have a good
day.
