THE
CROW’S
NEST---------------------April
10, 2007
“Spring, spring, wherefore
art thou spring”----or
something like that! It has
been unbelievably cold and
miserable the last few
weeks. Many parts of the
state have experienced
sizeable snowfalls and the
temperatures just seem to
hover in the 20’s. I am
sure the farmers are anxious
to get out in the fields to
prepare the ground for
planting. The lawns around
Edinburg haven’t “greened”
up yet either. I am so
anxious to see buds on the
trees and life in my
gardens. Warm weather will
soon be there though, as we
saw a couple of gophers this
past weekend.
I hope everyone had a nice
Easter weekend. I know we
did as we spent the time in
Minot with our daughter,
Kris and her family. I so
enjoy the drive to Minot. I
love the landscape between
Cando, Wolford and Rugby.
It is desolate to look at,
but there is true beauty in
the rolling hills and
grasslands of the area.
Congratulations, Barb
(Anderson). You are now a
member of the “Special Mom’s
Club”-----you have a child
who has turned 40!!! O yes
Suzy, Happy 40th
birthday to you too! Life
begins at 40 so enjoy every
minute of it.
I received such a nice
email from Andy Althoff. He
is stationed in Iraq with
the US Customs and Border
Patrol. He said he misses
the quiet calm of Edinburg
and the little things we all
take for granted like seeing
Orlando Gryde eat a Hershey
bar at Everett’s gas station
every morning, getting a
haircut and political lesson
at LeRoy’s Barber Shop on
Saturdays and dodging
numerous deer on Highway 32
when he heads north each
morning. He thanked
Edinburg people for making
sure Mary, his wife was
doing okay and that he would
be home in May. He also
said all the U.S. soldiers
who are in harm’s way should
be an inspiration to all.
It was nice to hear from him
and I know we all pray for
his safety.
I know you all have heard
the phrase, “Keeping up with
the Joneses”. Well, I am
trying to keep up with my
relatives----namely sister,
Ruth and sister-in-law,
Loretta. They each got new
gas stoves, so I just had to
have one also! Their stoves
do just about everything so
of course, I could not let
them “one-up-me”---I had to
try to maintain the standard
they set. Chuck just shakes
his head. It is rather
ironic, because I am scared
of our gas fireplace, but
insisted on getting a gas
stove. Go figure!!!
The 125th
Celebration is coming along
nicely. There are many
activities planned for the 3
day celebration. If any
readers want to know
specifics please feel free
to contact me at
omaopa@polarcomm.com I
will either try to answer
your questions or refer you
to someone who can.
Adele Anderson had
angioplasty with stents
inserted. She is
recuperating in Cavalier at
her daughter, Jolayne’s
home. I understand she is
doing very well. We wish
her a speedy recovery.
Members of Trinity Church
are busy updating the church
parsonage. Rooms have been
painted, repair work done
and new tile and carpeting
is being installed. It will
really be nice when it is
finished. New siding was
put on the exterior last
summer, so when this project
is done, it will be like a
whole new house. Now, if
we could only get a
minister.
I am hoping Mother Nature
cooperates as the High
School Prom is this Saturday
night.
I am anxiously awaiting a
telephone call saying niece,
Jodi (Hall) Crockett has
delivered a new sister for
big brother, Jase and
sister, Halle.
Talk with you soon and a
very special 40th
Happy Birthday to Professor
Lisa. Have a great B-day!!!
