Mon., February 3, 2003 - Snowed today. I went to Card Club in evening. Delores made a cake & Grace furnished ice cream -- a surprise to me. Then Nancy & Mitch came which was a real surprise. Delores had asked them to come. Anna was sick so she & Mary weren't there. Jean called today & so did Raymond Iversen but we didn't talk much -- he could hardly hear me. The trouble must have been in his phone because Jean didn't complain.
Tues., February 4, 2003 - I cancelled the hair-do appointment. Nancy said the sidewalks were icy. Delores here in evening for some Rummikub.
Darn, but I don't remember not going for cake and ice cream because Anna was sick. Nice to know that Nancy and Mitch were able to pull off the surprise, though.
I've been re-starting my genealogy research of the family and came across a humorous little thing from the Winside paper. Thankfully, well hopefully, it had nothing to do with anyone in our find, upstanding family but I need to share it anyway. Here goes:
Winside Tribune, April 22, 1920:
Luthern [sic] Church Emblem Smeared with mud.
Disregarding the motives of the parties guilty of smearing mud on the emblem just above the entrance of the St. Paul's Lutheran church Wednesday night, the act surpasses any barbaric deed that was ever perpetuated in this locality. Anyone that would condescend to such an outrageous and blasphemous act isn't as good as the mud he used to express the degenerate machinations of his furtile [sic] brain.
We haven't any idea who the guilty parties are but if we haven't made this article emphatic enough parties in question can call at the office and get what we didn't have space for in this weeks [sic] issue.
Well, amen to that.
Seems I should have Nancy in charge of photos for my posts since she is the most organized photo queen in the family. But, a nice photo of the church isn't a bad thing, right?
