South Side News for Feb. 25

 

By MYRNA FAUSKA

With the warmer weather the past week, you’d think the neighbors would be out enjoying it, but if they were, they didn’t tell me about it. However, I managed to find something to relate, and we can always count on the Vlasak families at the west end of the valley to have some activities to report. 

On Thursday night, I drove to the train depot in Tomah, where I met Eli Swartzentruber, who had come from Ohio for the weekend to visit his parents Chris and Elizabeth and his siblings who live next door to me. On Friday I stopped on my way home from Hillsboro to visit Ron and Arlene Garvens on the hill overlooking our valley.

The Marty family had a fun-filled weekend beginning on Saturday, when Brett participated in a wrestling tournament in Tomah. Then Layla, Brett and Mya spent the night with their Marty grandparents while Chip and Mary went to the Hillsboro Brewing Company for supper. The next morning, they picked up the kids and Brett attended a baseball practice. Later, Chip coached Layla’s sixth-grade Royall girls basketball team in Elroy.

Early Tuesday morning, Sally Dana and I joined Carol Bradley at the Glendale Town Hall to work at the spring primary election. That evening, Lynette Vlasak joined Sally for the Kendall Lions meeting at The Pony Express Supper Club and Lounge in Kendall. At noon Thursday, Lynette visited Ruth Steinke up at Hoffman’s Corners. On Friday evening, the gals picked up pizza at the Hillsboro Brewing Company and took it over to share with Connie Dorow for supper. On Saturday morning, Lynette and Sally went to South Ridge to have coffee with Alice Brandau, and Darlene Martalock drove over to join the party. 

Farmers Union Kamp Kenwood youth had several table prayers, and one of them was from a Johnny Appleseed song that went, “The Lord is good to me, I thank and praise the Lord, for giving me the things I need, the sun, the rain and the apple seed. The Lord is good to me. Amen.” It’s just a reminder that we should be thankful for all of God’s blessings, even a little apple seed. What an awesome creation!
