South Side News for April 14

By MYRNA FAUSKA

This week’s column is beginning with a chapter in the life and times of this feisty Fauska. I was born on Palm Sunday in 1938 and started celebrating my birthday last Sunday at our church potluck with a birthday cake. On Tuesday I spent the morning and early afternoon working at the spring election in the Glendale Town Hall. On my way home, I saw Jeff Maas sitting on the tailgate of his truck and stopped by for a visit. On Wednesday I took Elizabeth and Millie Swartzentruber over near Ridgeville for an appointment. 

On Friday evening, Darlene Martalock and Joe and Marg Collins treated me to supper at the Pony Express Supper Club. From there, we went to St. John’s Church for the Kendall Public Library-sponsored movie, “The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn.” 

I joined Christopher Young of Hillsboro on Saturday, and we attended the gun show at the Tomah Fairgrounds. On Sunday after church, Christopher and son Kit took me to Club Chapparal of Wonewoc for a birthday brunch buffet. Next week, there will be an addendum as my celebration continues.

Up the valley, the Garvens had a busy week, with Arlene attending the Cross-Town Violet Club meeting at Olbrich Gardens in Madison on Wednesday. On Friday evening, she and Ron enjoyed the movie at St. John’s fellowship hall, and on Saturday she attended the KTY Jun Quilt Guild meeting at United Methodist Church in Mauston. 

Next we come to Mary Parkhurst’s, where she has been enjoying the past week with daughter Debbie, who will return to her home in Lexington, Ky., in a few days.

Now we are at the west end of the neighborhood, where Sally Dana joined the regular group of gals playing mahjong at the library on Wednesday. On Thursday she lunched at the Senior Dining Center, and then attended the St. John’s Ladies Aid at the church. In addition to the meeting, the women visited Joyce Thonesen, who lives next door to the church, so they could see her recent home improvements. 

On Friday evening, Lynette Vlasak and Sally were at the movie, as was Joyce. On Saturday, Lynette and Sally watched the Royall seventh-grade girls as they played in a volleyball tournament. Great-niece Layla Marty was on the team. After the game, they went to Mount Tabor Bar and Grill for lunch with Beverly Mattison and daughter Diana Erickson.

Our Lord Jesus spent the final week of His earthly life teaching and preaching in Jerusalem. The lessons and the events of that week are recorded for us in the New Testament books Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. What a blessing to have the scripture available for all who read it and can use it to lead them to the Lord, learning how to live our lives as God wants us to so we can spend eternity with Him. What wonderful Savior is Jesus our Lord, God’s only begotten son, according to John 3:16 in the Holy Bible. Amen.
