HILIARY AND MOO POOP

I BET THAT TITLE HAD YOU THINKING, WELL HERE IS THE FIRST PART
SHE WAS IN DECORAH TODAY, AND KORI SUE AND HER BUDDIES GOT UP AT THE CRACK OF DAWN TO GET A SEAT TO SEE HER. KORI WAS GOING TO GET A PICTURE WITH HER, BUT SHE SAID THAT TOOK FOREVER. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE PICTURES WE HAVE TO SHARE. IT WAS A GOOD LEARNING EXPERIENCE, FOR A 16 YR OLD.

I KNOW IT HAS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I HAVE BLOGGED BUT THE WEATHER HERE HAS BEEN WONDERFUL. SO THERE ARE BETTER THINGS TO DO, THEN SIT HERE AND BLOG. WE GOT 2 HOME TRACK MEETS IN THIS WEEK AND SEVERAL GOLF MEETS, SO EVERYONE IS HAPPY. HIGH'S IN THE 70'S ALL WEEKEND, LED TO LAWN MOWING, CLEANING UP FLOWER BEDS AND SOME NEIGHBORHOOD COCKTAILS. WE HAD HARLIE KAY HERE LAST NIGHT, SO WE WAGONED HER AROUND TOWN AND DOUG & RHONDA KOENIG WERE CLEANING UP CLIFFORD'S MESS AND OLD HOUSE, SO WE HAD TO CHECK IT ALL OUT, NEVER SEEN SO MANY TIRES, METAL JUNK IN ALL MY LIFE. SOUNDS LIKE THEY WILL BE DIGGING A BIG HOLE AND BURYING HOUSE AND ALL.

TODAY IS BOBBY SCHULTZ'S 21ST BIRTHDAY, A BIG NIGHT OF CELEBRATING, MY SON HASN'T BEEN AWAKE ALL DAY, BUT HE IS STILL BREATHING, SO I GUESS HE WILL MAKE IT, OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T HIT SOME THE BARS UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT, SO HE COULD HAVE ONE LEGALLY, SO I THINK IT WAS ABOUT 5:30am, WELL I SAW THE LOST BOY RETURN HOME.
KOLLIN STARTED A NEW JOB LAST WEEK, WITH A DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, KIND OF BORING THE FIRST WEEK HE SAID, THEY BUILD BRIDGES AND RIGHT NOW THEY ARE WORKING ON HWY 24, BY FORT ATKINSON, SO ITS HANDY FOR HIM. MAYBE THIS WEEK HE WILL HAVE A BETTER REPORT.

NOW FOR THE MOO POOP, MY STORY OF THE WEEK, TOOK HARLIE KAY HOME ONE NIGHT THIS WEEK AND BRIAN WAS STILL MILKING, SO SHE TOOK MY HAND AND WE HAD TO GO INTO THE BARN. HER FIRST COMMENT WAS "LOOK NANA, MOO POOP, EVERY PLACE IN THE BARN, SHE WANTED TO SHOW ME THE MOO POOP. I GUESS THAT'S BETTER COMING OUT OF HER MOUTH THEN COW SHIT. NEXT BLOG MAYBE WE WILL EVEN HAVE SOME PICTURES OF HARLIE KAY IN THE BARN, WITH MOO POOP, OR BETTER YET WOULD BE IN THE WAGON ON A FRANKVILLE WALK.

THE FARMERS HAVE HIT THE FIELDS THIS WEEK AND RIGHT NOW WE ARE HAVING A NICE APRIL SHOWER, SO THIS MAY SLOW THEM DOWN ALITTLE.

WELL I HAVE SOME BRATS SIMMERING IN SOME BEER AND ARE PROBABLY READY FOR THE GRILL, MIGHT EVEN GET THE GRILLING DONE BEFORE THE NEXT SHOWER. I GUESS THAT'S ALL TO REPORT NOW

WHAT THE %#&@

THIS IS WHAT WE WOKE UP TO THIS MORNING, BESIDES THE PHONE CALL - NO SCHOOL!!! SUPPOSE TO GET ABOUT 8 INCHES, SEE WHY UNCLE HANS IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT SPRING, IT HAS NOT BEEN NICE. LOREN'S CARLEY WAS SUPPOSE TO BE CONFIRMED TONIGHT, BUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH POSTPONED IT, SO YOU KNOW ITS NOT GOOD WHEN THE CATHOLICS CANCEL A HOLY SACRAMENT. LIKE SISTER BARB HAS BEEN SAYING IN HER BLOG THE CONSTRUCTION WORKERS ARE ORNERY, SO ARE THE FARMERS AND THE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS ARE STARTING TO GET THAT WAY HAVING TO CANCEL TRACK & GOLF MEETS(well some might be). THIS ONE ONLY IS BECAUSE SHE CAN'T GOLF HERSELF. OK NOW THAT I'M DONE BITCHING ABOUT THE WEATHER I REALLY HAVE NO NEWS.

LYLE OPHEIM HAD A HEART ATTACK SUNDAY NIGHT, HAD SURGERY, BUT I HAVEN'T HEARD HOW HE IS DOING.

KORI IS MAKING MUFFINS THIS MORNING AND NOW HAS ALL THE PANS OUT OF THE CUPBOARD, AND WANTS IT CLEANED AND ORGANIZED. SO I SUPPOSE WE WILL BE DOING ALITTLE SPRING/WINTER CLEANING TODAY. I WAS THINKING MORE ABOUT A COUPLE GAMES OF CARDS. I GUESS I BETTER HELP WITH THE CLEANING, SO SHE LETS ME PLAY CARDS - KOLLIN IS HOME TOO I'M SURE HE WILL WANT TO PLAY CARDS INSTEAD OF CLEANING.

SISTER JANE'S BIRTHDAY TODAY, SHE IS NOW A SENIOR CITIZEN. AMBROSE ALWAYS TOLD THE STORY, HE FINISHED SEEDING OATS THE DAY SHE WAS BORN. I DON'T THINK THERE WILL BE ANY OATS PUT IN THE GROUND HERE TODAY.

I GUESS THAT'S ALL FOR NOW. I WILL LET YOU KNOW HOW WE SPEND OUR LAST SNOW DAY (i hope, we are will be in school now until June 6th) IN FRANKVILLE - OR WHO WINS AT CARDS

HAPPY EASTER

FOOD WAS PLENTY, CARD GAMES WERE FUN, NAP WHEN I RETURNED HOME WAS GOOD, ANOTHER HOLIDAY DONE. HAM & SWISS STEAK AND ALL THE FIXINGS AT BARBARA'S HOUSE. WEATHER WAS NOT TO BAD TODAY, NO WIND MADE IT SEEM WARMER. SOME MORE PICNIC PLANNING WAS DONE TODAY, SO WATCH FOR YOU INVITES.

I SHOULD EXPLAIN THE EGG DYING. DID YOU NOTICE ALL THE NEWSPAPER DOWN UNDER THE CUPS, HARLIE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THAT YOU NEED TO PUT THE EGGS IN GENTLY. IT WAS A HUGE PLOP AND DYE EVERYWHERE, UNTIL WE TOLD SHE HAD TO DO IT "NICE". WHEN WE GOT THE TABLETS OUT, SHE THOUGHT THEY WERE CANDY, AND WE ALL HAD A GOOD LAUGH AT THAT, BECAUSE WHEN KAYLA WAS 2, I WAS SETTING UP TO DYE EGGS TURNED TO GET THE EGGS OFF THE COUNTER AND KAYLA HAD THE TABLETS IN HER MOUTH AND ATE THEM. I REMEMBER CALLING THE POISON CONTROL CENTER AND THEY LAUGH ABOUT IT AND SAID NOT TO WORRY BUT HER POOP WOULD NOT LOOK NORMAL AND THEY WERE RIGHT, SHE POOPED GREEN FOR ABOUT A WEEK.

NO FRANKVILLE NEWS, RANDY BUDDENBERG IS IMPROVING DAILY, SO THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

NEW EXPERIENCE HERE TONIGHT. KORI WANTED TO MAKE SUNDAY NIGHT POPCORN, AND NO MICROWAVE POPCORN LEFT IN THE CUPBOARD, SHE FOUND A BAG OF REGULAR IN THE REFRIG, BUT DIDN'T KNOW HOW OR HAD SEEN REGULAR POPPED BEFORE, SO WE HAD A LESSON ON HOW TO POP POPCORN, FUNNY HOW LIFE CHANGES, THE YOUNG GENERATION PUTS A BAG IN THE MICROWAVE AND 2 MINUTES LATER THEY HAVE POPCORN AND THINK NOTHING OF IT. AND WE SPENT MANY A SUNDAY NIGHT WITH THE BIG KETTLE POPPING AWAY. I TOLD HER THIS WAY YOU CAN PUT AS MUCH SALT & BUTTER ON IT AS YOU WANT!!!!!!

NO SCHOOL TOMORROW, ERRAND DAY. HAVE TO GET A HAIRCUT, CELL PHONE FIXED. KORI IS GOING TO APPLY FOR A JOB AT THE GOOD SAM IN THE KITCHEN. THE GIRL LOVES TO COOK. AND I NEED SET UP FOR A TRACK MEET WE ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE ON TUESDAY, WEATHER PERMITTING. WE ARE SUPPOSE TO HAVE A HUGE STORM COME IN ON MONDAY NIGHT - TUESDAY MORNING WITH LOTS OF MOISTURE, BUT NOT SAYING IF IT WILL BE RAIN OR SNOW. TEMPERATURES IN THE 30 -40 RANGE.

I GUESS THATS ALL FOR NOW

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

AS REX POSTED, IRENE FEICKERT THE LONG TIME COOK AT LIVINGOODS SUPPER CLUB PASSED AWAY THIS WEEK. SHE COOKED THERE FOR 27 YRS. FUNERAL WAS WEDNESDAY AND IT WAS A VERY NICE SERVICE. A CHURCH FULL OF FRANKVILLIANS. UNCLE HANS - UNCLE NEIL I REMEMBER A TIME OR 2 YOU MESSED HER KITCHEN UP. BUT YOU COULDN'T MAKE HER MAD. NOW THE BARTENDER THAT WAS A DIFFERENT STORY, I THINK THE 2 OF YOU MADE HER MAD A TIME OR TWO, AS DID MYSELF, ESPECIALLY THE NIGHT I STOLED THE BOTTLE OF BAILEYS, PAULIE CAN TELL YA THAT STORY, HE DROVE THE GET AWAY CAR.

ANYWAY ITS BEEN A COLD WEEK HERE. HIGHS IN THE 30'S. CANCELLED 2 TRACK MEETS, 1 GOLF MEET AT SCHOOL. NOT THAT CANCELLING TRACK BREAKS MY HEART. I ACTUALLY DISLIKE RUNNING TRACK MEETS, POSTVILLE IS HOSTING 7 THIS YEAR. 2 DOWN AND 5 MORE TO GO. AND NOW WE ARE ON EASTER BREAK, TODAY AND HAVE MONDAY OFF.

DOUG TRIED TO RAKE TODAY, BUT ITS ONLY 24 DEGREES,THE GRASS IS VERY GREEN AND GROWING. HE HAS ALITTLE RAKE HE PULLS BEHIND THE RIDER AND IT PICKS UP STUFF PRETTY GOOD.

GOT MY GROCERY SHOPPING DONE FOR THE HOLIDAY AND WILL BE HAVING DINNER AT BARBS ON SUNDAY.

YESTERDAY WE SET THE DATE FOR THE LOONEY PICNIC. JULY 7TH. I APPOINTED A FEW JOBS AND THE PLANS ARE ON THE WAY. ITS THE DAY THE LOONEYS INVADE FRANKVILLE AND COVER OUR WHOLE STREET. WE HAVE A HORSESHOE TOURN, LOTS OF FOOD AND END THE EVENING WITH FIREWORKS.

IM GOING TO SIGN OFF ON THIS BLOG AND POST ANOTHER ONE TODAY OF PICTURES. HARLIE KAY IS HERE AND WE DYED EGGS AND DARIN'S BRYCE WAS HERE AND AMY WANTS TO SEE HIS PICTURE TOO.

SO TOODLES AND CHECK OUT THE NEXT BLOG OF PICTURES.
TERESA

PS REX OR AMY DO YOU WANT ME TO SEND YOU IRENE'S PROGRAM, THE OBIT THAT WAS IN THE POSTVILLE PAPER, WAS NOT THE WHOLE THING. NOT SURE WHAT DECORAH WILL HAVE

SOME GOOD/SOME BAD

FIRST THE BAD, LIVINGOOD'S FAMOUS COOK, IS NOT TO HEALTHY. IRENE WENT IN FOR SURGERY EARLIER THIS WEEK, THEY PUT A PACEMAKER IN, WHICH THE SURGERY WENT WELL. THE NEXT DAY, SHE HAD A SPELL AND IS NOW IN A COMA AND ON LIFE SUPPORT. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR A FEW DAYS AND SEE IF SHE COMES AROUND, IF NOT THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE HER OFF LIFE SUPPORT. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED. RANDY BUDDENBERG - HAD A BAD SPELL THIS WEEK ALSO, A BLOT CLOT FORMED BETWEEN HIS HEART AND LUNGS, THEY PLACED HIM BACK IN ICU AND PUT A FILTER IN BETWEEN THE CLOT AND HEART, WE ARE ALL PRAYING AND HOPING EVERYTHING THEY DO WILL WORK, HE IS ONE VERY SICK MAN - ALL FOR A HIP REPLACEMENT.
AND NOW THE GOOD - IONIA CRAWFORD IS FINALLY HOME AFTER HER HEART ATTACK AND DOING WELL. THE REST OF THE TOWN IS THE SAME - I THINK?!?!?!
DOUG KOENIG BOUGHT CLIFF'S HOUSE AND MESS. THE BANK FORECLOSED ON CLIFFY. SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WILL BE ONE BIG WIENER ROOST THIS SUMMER!!! RECEIVED A WEDDING INVITE FOR TREVOR FEICKERTS WEDDING, MAY 5
AND TRAVIS IS GETTING MARRIED IN AUGUST, SO THE FEICKERTS ARE BUSY WEDDING PLANNING. EVERYONE AROUND TOWN IS GETTING THEIR CHAIRS OUT AND FIRE PITS READY FOR THE SUMMER. RAINY HERE TODAY, EVERYTHING IS TURNING GREEN. HAD A FIRE MEETING LAST NIGHT AND NO FIGHTS!!!! DISCUSSED NEXT YEAR WILL BE 50 YRS FOR FFD, TRYING TO MAKE SOME PLANS TO CELEBRATE THAT. REX WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO RETURN BEING A FORMER CHIEF AND ALL.
ELECTIONS WERE LAST MONTH, I GUESS IT WAS A JOKE, NO ONE THERE AND THEY ENDED UP CALLING PEOPLE, TO SEE IF THEY WOULD TAKE AN OFFICE. MONTY IS STILL THE CHIEF.
I BETTER GET OFF TO SCHOOL, HAVE 2 TRACK MEETS NEXT WEEK TO GET READY FOR AND THEN I MAY RETURN HOME AND START SOME OF THAT SPRING CLEANING YOU ALL HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. NO BIG PLANS FOR THE WEEKEND, MIGHT CHECK OUT BROTHER MICHAEL'S FISH FRY TONIGHT. THE SCHOOL IS HAVING THEIR MUSICAL - BEAUTY & BEAST THIS WEEKEND AND HAVE TO SELL TICKETS FOR THAT ON SUNDAY.

I GUESS THATS ALL FOR NOW
HAVE A GOOD WEEKEND
TERESA

YAHOO, SPRING IS HERE

I DECIDED I BETTER LET YA KNOW I'M STILL ALIVE, AFTER REPORTING ABOUT FEELING ALITTLE GREEN LAST WEEKEND. ANYWAY, SPRING IS HERE, RAINY & FOGGY TONIGHT, BUT ITS WARM AND THE SNOW IS GONE. JUST TALKED TO SOME OF THE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AND SOME OF THE BOYS EVEN TRIED GOLF TODAY. SO NOW DOUG IS READY TO GO AND CHECK THE CART OUT TOMORROW AND GET US READY FOR THE SUMMER SPORT TOO.
NOT ALOT TO REPORT, HAVE TO LEAVE @ 7:00 TOMORROW MORNING FOR DES MOINES FOR THE STATE ATHLETIC DIRECTORS CONVENTION, WILL RETURN ON TUESDAY, SO I WILL PROBABLY NOT BLOG UNTIL I RETURN. MY PLANS WERE TO LEAVE TODAY AND MEET UP WITH SCHAGER AND THE BOWLING GIRLS. THEY ARE IN DES MOINES FOR STATE BOWLING. BUT WE WERE HELPING THE BUDDENBERG CHILDREN OUT THE LAST 2 DAYS. HERE'S THE SCOOP - RANDY BUDDENBERG HAD A HIP REPLACED ON MARCH 12, ON MARCH 13 HE HAD A STROKE, THIS PAST WEEK THEY FOUND A HOLE IN HIS HEART, WHICH WAS PROBABLY THE CAUSE OF THE STROKE, SO THEY WENT IN THRU HIS THIGH AND REPAIRED THE HOLE. HIS MAIN SIDE EFFECT FROM THE STROKE IS HE CAN'T TALK. HE NOW IS IN A HEAVY DUTY REHAB TREATMENT CENTER AT ST. MARY'S IN ROCHESTER, HOPEFULLY EVERYTHING WILL RETURN TO NORMAL FOR THE BUDDENBERGS. WE HAD A BUNCH OF PEOPLE TOGETHER AT THEIR FARM, THE LAST 2 DAYS, TRYING TO GET THINGS READY FOR SPRING ETC. THEY HAVE A HUGE DAIRY SETUP ON HWY 9, MILK 300ish COWS. BUT EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY, WITHOUT THE HEAD HERDSMAN - RANDY. SO WITH ALL THAT GOING ON I CANCELLED OUT ON LEAVING A DAY EARLIER.
KORI IS OFF TO DECORAH TONIGHT WITH A BUNCH OF GIRLS FOR CHINESE, I THINK I LIKED IT BETTER WHEN SHE WAS NOT 16, AND COULDN'T GET ANYWHERE, NOW ITS THAT WAITING UP THING AGAIN, UNTIL SHE RETURNS HOME. SOMETHING ABOUT US LOONEY MOTHERS DON'T SLEEP UNTIL ALL ARE HOME SAFELY. AND I ALWAYS USE AMBROSE'S FAMOUS WORDS OF WISDOM WHEN THEY LEAVE "NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS AFTER MIDNIGHT"
WITH THOSE CLOSING WORDS, I GUESS I WILL GET SNUGGLED UP ON THE COUCH AND READ A BOOK AND WAIT!

HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GOOD WEEK
