This week, June busted out all over, and the meteorologists are predicting summer temperatures, which you should be enjoying as you read this column. There hasn’t been a lot going on in the valley this past week except at the Feisty Fauska’s. Even the gals on the west end of the neighborhood have been less lively than usual.
Last Monday my niece Helena Boles drove from Racine to get asparagus again and was on her way home on Tuesday by the time Sally Dana picked me up for book club at the Kendall Public Library. Since I am currently restricted from driving, on Thursday, Jani Bolstad of New Lisbon picked me up to go to GundersenTomah Clinic for my first post-op after having had foot surgery the previous week and we lunched at Perkins.
On Saturday afternoon, Darlene Martalock stopped by before going to a graduation party, and on Sunday, Dave and Pam Strike, picked me up for church, and after lunch at Benders’ Family Restaurant in Elroy, they brought me home.
Kurt and Catherine Garvens of Hollandale, Wis., spent the MemorialDay weekend with parents Ron and Arlene after having been separated from family get-togethers during the pandemic.
At the Tuesday book-club meetings, Lynette Vlasak and Sally Dana and the members discussed the book “The River” by Beverly Lewis. On Saturday, Lynette, along with her sister Arlys Zellmer and Sally, were in Ann Arbor, Mich., for a memorial service for cousin Carol Dasse.
God continues to bless our little corner of the world, and I am grateful for His loving care of me during the past couple of weeks as I heal.A special thanks to family and friends who have graced my mailbox with get-well cards among the junk that overflows my mail. I pray His blessing on our farmers, as the crops are making their presence visible in the fields as we travel the country roads.
