After last week’s long column full of local activities, we are back to a normal-size report. The neighbors do get out a bit despite the pandemic, but for the most part we have been staying close to home.
The Fauska digs had company on Wednesday, when Christopher Young of Hillsboro stopped in for a visit. On Sunday after church, Dave and Pam Strike treated me to brunch at Bender’s Family Restaurant in Elroy.
Going up the valley, Mary Parkhurst reports that son Randy is finally in rehab after his strokes a few months ago. The pandemic had prevented his doctors from getting him the care he had needed earlier, but now he is showing signs of improvement and is able to communicate with family by telephone.
On Wednesday, Lynette Vlasak and Sally Dana joined Carol Fronk for lunch at the Fireball Lanes and Grill in Kendall. In the afternoon, Sally attended a planning committee meeting at Royall High School in Elroy. On Thursday the gals shopped in La Crosse and lunched at Ardie’s Restaurant. On Friday, Sally and Lynne Hanson enjoyed the fish buffet at Pony Express Supper Club in town.
That pretty much takes care of the comings and goings in the neighborhood during the past week. The Evangelical Free Church in Kendall is still in the process of transitioning to the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. Due to the small size of our congregation, we have been able to meet on Sundays and keep social distancing as we worship the Lord (we are led by our elders). God is in control, and we have faith that he has a pastor prepared for us in His time, and we will be ready to welcome a new spiritual guide when that time comes. In the meantime, we continue to thank and praise the Lord for His many blessings.
