HAPPY MOTHERS DAY EVERYONE. WE DID OUR USUAL THING, OFF TO PRAIRIE FOR A PETE'S BURGER, AND THEN SAT DOWN BY THE RIVER FOR EATING. HARLIE KAY SPOTTED THE SWINGS, SO EATING LEFT HER MIND. THE BURGERS WERE GREAT.
FOR THOSE NOT FAMILIAR WITH PETE'S, IT'S A LITTLE SHACK ON MAIN ST(across from Stark's the popular liquor store) OF PRAIRIE DU CHIEN, THE BURGERS ARE BOILED IN WATER WITH ONIONS, WITH SOME SEASONING. AND LINES ARE ALWAYS LONG.
THEN IT WAS OFF TO WALMART, I SPOTTED A WICKER SET A FEW WEEKS AGO AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE FOR THE FRONT PORCH. WELL LOW AND BEHOLD, I MENTIONED TO THE CHILDREN WHAT A NICE MOTHERS DAY & FATHERS DAY PRESENT. THE "POOR" DAUGHTERS OF MINE, TALKED THEIR "RICH" BROTHER INTO THE PURCHASE. AND IT LOOKS GREAT. MAYBE A PICTURE WILL SHOW UP ON A BLOG.
PIRATE NEWS, 2 FRANKVILLIAN BOYS QUALIFIED FOR THE STATE TRACK MEET. ETHAN SNITKER(brian & lisa's son) & BLAINE GRINNA(gary & nancy's). ETHAN MADE IT IN THE SHOT PUT AND BLAINE IN THE 400 & 400 HURDLES(which he just ran at drake). SO ANOTHER BUSY WEEK AT SCHOOL GETTING EVERYTHING LINED UP FOR THAT. ALSO WE WERE CHOSEN BY THE STATE TO HOST THE GIRLS DISTRICT GOLF MEET, WHICH IS TOMORROW, SO I'M SPENDING THE DAY AT THE GOLF COURSE WITH 60 HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS FOR 2 ROUNDS OF GOLF. SHOULD BE INTERESTING. AND ON TUESDAY, WE ARE HOSTING OUR LAST TRACK MEET YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
THEN IT WILL BE TIME TO SLIDE INTO THE SUMMER MODE.
FRANKVILLE NEWS, NEW PEOPLE IN TOWN. A COUPLE PURCHASED THE OLD LEO BERG'S HOUSE, NO CHILDREN THAT I KNOW OF, LOOKS LIKE THEY MOVED IN THIS LAST WEEKEND. ALSO IRENE FEICKERTS HOUSE HAS BEEN SOLD TO A COUPLE FROM MONONA I GUESS, NO CHILDREN THERE EITHER. SO I GUESS SOME NEW VILLAINS TO MEET. DONNA'S SCHULTZ'S DAD WAS AIR LIFTED YESTERDAY TO LACROSSE, WITH WHAT THEY THOUGHT WAS HEART PROBLEMS. TALKED TO HER THIS MORNING AND NOW THEY ARE NOT SURE. HAVEN'T HEARD ANY NEWS THIS AFTERNOON SO NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON. RANDY BUDDENBERG WAS HOME FOR A VISIT TODAY, SO WE WERE OVER THERE, HE SEEMS TO BE IMPROVING EVERYDAY, STILL IN ROCHESTER WITH THERAPY TO TRY AND GET HIM TO WALK ON HIS OWN. TAKING ALOT OF TIME, HOPE HE GETS THERE.
REX & PAUL YOU WILL ENJOY THIS STORY, DOUG RAN INTO KEVIN HELGERSON UPTOWN THE OTHER NIGHT, HE STILL BUYS HIS CIGARS THERE AND THEY WERE VISITING, HELGERSONS NO LONG HAVE HOGS (which i guess has been awhile) BUT ARE MILKING 140 GOATS, HE TOLD DOUG HE JUST LOVES IT, HE WISHED HE KNEW IT WAS SO MUCH FUN HE WOULD HAVE DONE IT ALONG TIME AGO. AND THE PRICE OF GOAT'S MILK IS GOOD RIGHT NOW. AND YOU GUYS THOUGHT 2 GOATS WAS JOB!!!
MUSHROOM SEASON IS POOR, NOT ENOUGH RAIN, THE ONES THAT ARE BEING FOUND ARE ALL DRIED UP. I'M GOING TO CHECK WITH LOWELL STAAKE THIS WEEK, HE IS ALWAYS GOOD FOR A BAG. THEN I MAY HAVE A FEW PICTURES TO BLOG.

DOUG & I WISHED BRIAN WELL, BUT I GUESS AFTER LIVING TOGETHER FOR AWHILE, THEY SHOULD HAVE EACH OTHER FIGURED OUT, MAYBE!!!!!!

SPRING IN FRANKVILLE
I KNOW, I KNOW IT HAS BEEN AWHILE, BUT LIKE REX WROTE A FEW BLOGS BACK, WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS NICE IN THE MIDWEST THERE ARE BETTER THINGS TO DO THEN SIT IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER. TODAY IS NOT SO GREAT, COLD, CLOUDY AND VERY WINDY, SMALL RAIN SHOWER. BUT YESTERDAY WAS OK, SO HARLIE KAY AND I VENTURED UP TO AN ABANDONED SWING SET IN THE OLD BANK YARD. THE PEOPLE THAT USE TO RUN IT, LEFT IT THERE AND SHE LOVED IT. YOU SOUTHERNS THAT MISS THE MIDWEST'S SPRING FLOWER THAT POPS UP EVERYWHERE CAN ENJOY THEM IN THE PICTURES ALSO
UPDATE ON THE WEEK, LAST WEEKEND I WENT TO THE DRAKE RELAYS WITH A STUDENT ATHLETE, BLAINE GRINNA (son of gary & nancy). HE RAN THE 400 HURDLES AND METALED WITH 5TH PLACE. SO THAT WAS EXCITING. I HAD NEVER BEEN TO THE RELAYS, IT WAS ALOT OF FUN. THE WHITE HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES DEFINITELY ARE THE MINORITIES OF THE RELAYS. HAD A FEW TRACK MEETS, HAVE 2 LEFT TO HOST AT POSTVILLE, YAHOOOOO. PROM LAST SATURDAY NIGHT EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTHLY, SO THAT'S IS ALWAYS GOOD TOO.
BEEN BUSY ALSO PLANNING MY 25TH CLASS REUNION. THE 25 YR CLASS IS ALSO IN CHARGE OF POSTVILLE ALUMNI BANQUET, SO THERE ARE ADDED THINGS TO THE PLANNING. HARD TO BELIEVE 25 YRS AGO WHEN WE WERE OUT ON ROAD TOUR WE STOPPED AT THE SUPPER CLUB SO I COULD HAVE SOME MASHED POTATOES BETWEEN COCKTAILS. THE THOUGHT OF DRINKING SEVERAL BEERS EATING MASHED POTATOES AND DRINKING MORE BEER IS NOT TO APPEALING TO ME NOW. I THINK IT WAS JUDY'S WAY OF THINKING AT LEAST I GOT SOMETHING TO EAT TO SOAK UP THE BEER.
SPEAKING OF COCKTAILS, MY PARTNER IN CRIME (tracey)HAS BEEN CALLING ME FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS NOW TO GET TOGETHER AND WE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING THAT DONE SO SUMMER NEEDS TO COME SOON. NEED TO GET READY FOR THE LOONEY HOOLEY, JULY 7TH ALSO.
YESTERDAY WE ATTEND TREVOR FEICKETS WEDDING, NICE SMALL WEDDING, RECEPTION WAS IN GUTTENBERG, SO EVERYONE WAS ON GOOD BEHAVIOR, LONG WAYS FROM GUTTENBERG TO FRANKVILLE. TRAVIS GETS MARRIED IN AUGUST, SO THE FEICKETS ARE BUSY WITH WEDDINGS. LOTS OF GRADUATIONS INVITES COMING. FIRST ONE NEXT WEEKEND, DACIA'S OLDEST ONE BRENT.
FARMERS ARE PLANTING FULL FORCE NOW. KENT SAID THIS MORNING HE SHOULD FINISH HIS CORN AND THEN ON TO BEANS.
I NOTICED IN MY SISTERS BLOG SHE KEEPS BRINGING UP HER BIRTHDAY THIS MONTH, BUT I ALSO NOTICED SHE KEEPS FORGETTING TO TELL HOW OLD SHE IS GOING TO BE. WELL THIS IS HER 60TH BIRTHDAY.
I BETTER CLOSE ON THAT, BECAUSE I'M SURE I WILL BE IN TROUBLE NOW.
KAYLA & KORI ARE OUT MUSHROOM HUNTING, SO ON THE NEXT BLOG I HOPE I CAN SHOW A PAN OF MORELS FRYING, THAT WILL GET YOUR TASTE BUDS GOING REX!!!
THAT'S ALL FOR NOW, I WILL TRY AND BLOG AGAIN THIS WEEK AND REMIND YA HOW OLD MY SISTER IS GOING TO BE 60. THERE ARE SOME GOOD STORIES ABOUT HER 50TH PARTY, BUT THAT WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE NEXT BLOG.
