THE CROW’S
NEST---------------------May
18, 2006
I can almost hear
everyone—“When is the Crow’s
Nest going to be updated”?
I don’t blame anyone for
wondering. The Edinburg
website has been giving me a
hard time. I couldn’t get
anything posted on it, and
if I was able to it would
lock up on me. Many a night
was sleepless trying to
figure out how to untangle
this web mess. I finally
called Rick Amundrud and he
spent about 3 hours
yesterday working on it and
this morning walked me
through some other maneuvers
over the telephone.
Hopefully, it will behave.
The test will be to see if
this copies and pastes
properly from Microsoft
Word. Exciting reading,
huh?
Again I say spring is
officially here. The
hummingbirds returned May 9th.
The orioles haven’t shown up
yet. Rhubarb leaves are
getting bigger and bigger in
many a yard and the best is
the smell of the lilac
bushes down by the city park
when I walk early in the
morning. There is nothing
better than walking early in
the morning before there is
much activity around. The
peacefulness of 6 AM is so
calm yet so energizing. The
only noise is the mourning
doves soulful song.
Fieldwork is in full
swing. Many fields already
are turning green. Halls
are planting potatoes. The
elevator is a busy place
these days.
Congratulations to Bernice
Flanagan for being named the
SBA “Women in Business
Champion of the Year”. The
award was presented to her
in Minot the beginning of
May. I know I have said it
before, but Bernice truly is
Edinburg’s
premier ambassador in
promoting our town to people
through-out the state and
region.
I hope you notice the
picture of the girls in
their Scottish costumes and
also the picture of the
young gals in Native
American dress. Louise (Kertz)
Riphahn sent them and I
thought everyone would enjoy
remembering the past-----WAY
past. We sure were young.
Last Tuesday night the Park
Board members planted a tree
in the City Park in memory
of Gilman Johnson. Gilman
was caretaker of the park
for many, many years. Eva
and her son, Daniel was
there to be a part of the
planting. It was all very
nice.
Please take a few moments to
read the update on our
street light project on the
Home Page. Also, on the
Events Page I have written
about a few city things.
It is with sadness I write
about Burnell Troftgruben
passing away. He and Judy
have lived in Park River for
many years. Marianne
Eisenmann is home from
Rochester after having a hip
replaced. She is feeling
very well and is up and
about.
The time is here for me to
see if this will post or
not. Have a great
day----especially Rosie
Denault on her 50th
birthday today. I just
saw 2 orioles. I'll
sleep tonight!
