THE CROW’S
NEST------------------April
27, 2009
I
hope everyone is still
checking in on the website.
It has been “down and out”
for the past 2 weeks. That
seems like a lifetime to me
when I want to post things
and unable to do just that!
Rick Amundrud interfaced
with my computer this
morning and we got it all
taken care of. The host
server had a problem.
Hopefully everything will
stay running smoothly from
now on.
I was sure spring was
finally here last week.
Last night makes me wonder.
We had enough of that “white
stuff” to completely cover
the ground. The
temperatures have been
unusually cool this whole
month. But, signs do exist
that spring has to arrive
soon—(I think I write the
same thing every column!).
My golf cart is out of the
“barn”, charged up and rarin’
to race around town. Gravel
trucks are back on the
highways and the biggest
sign of spring is BUGS ON MY
WINDSHIELD when I drive!!
Last Wednesday night the
“friends of Odalen” served a
Meatball Supper to 260
people. We were so pleased
with the crowd and the
generous donations made to
the Odalen Cross Lighting
Fund. It has been
wonderfully amazing how
supportive everyone near and
far have been to our drive
to illuminate the 80 foot
cross. Rodney Nygard was
the “head baker” of the
meatball detail. About 6 of
us rolled 970 meatballs
while others peeled
potatoes. We worked hard
the day before the meal, but
had a great time doing so.
Anne Christine (Haug) Puppe
came from Cavalier to help
us prepare the meal and then
to serve it. It was fun
having her come. Thanks
goes to everyone who helped
make the meal so successful.
Last Saturday morning the
Monson clan enjoyed a 7 am
breakfast at “Anderson’s
Country Café” in Edinburg.
Lee, Lloyd, Frank and
Marlene Anderson recently
purchased the café and
opened their doors just last
Friday. We haven’t had a
café in town for nearly 2
years, so this opening is a
great boost for the
community. I hope the
people in the area will
support this new business.
I want to personally thank
Rose Denault for taking on
the job of making noon meals
at the bar. She truly
filled a niche that was
needed. It was a lot of
hard work for her. Rose, I
thank you for the great
meals you provided 5 days a
week.
Our
family feels the loss of our
cousin, Orlando Gryde. He
passed away the first part
of April. It seems strange
not to make the trip up to
Borg to bring him M & M’s.
We also extend sympathy to
the family of Dorothy
Thomasson. Dorothy died
this past week. Her funeral
was in Edinburg last
Saturday. Dorothy was such
a wonderful lady and will be
missed by many.
Our 2 sons are celebrating
their 40th
birthdays today. That makes
me feel old! Also, happy
birthday to LeRoy Pederson
today! And now for the
best news ever!!!
Thomas and Katie Hall are
expecting a baby in
September!!! I
know of some very excited
grandparents,
great-grandparents, uncles &
aunts and cousins.
Whew!! There are a lot of us
that are so happy for TJ &
Katie.
Have a great day and
will visit later with
everyone.
