Todays Gazette is brought to you by the word "morality". A process
that's better to educate, than legislate.

Today will be the first full day of Raumin gone. With visions of
trading the cool white covering of the northland, for the warm drab
desert sands of the south west. Jerry and Ina headed south this morning,
(Friday) before the sun could melt the frost off the roof of Granny's. I
talked to Jerry Thursday afternoon and he said he would have the two
most important things packed early. I'm guessing they would be Jerry's
gulf clubs and Ina's special pillow.

The Heritage Village in Grafton has acquired Uncle Sig's very
extensive collection of interesting and informative antiques. That
acquisition has significantly increased the size, value and educational
aspects of Heritage Village. The financial needs for the operation and
maintenance of Heritage village also is increasing proportionally.
If you have an interest in preserving the past, for our youth, for the
future. Maybe you might consider volunteering your time and resources to
the Heritage Village.

scrumptious Walleye dinners to the wonderful folks at the Grafton

I have often said how much I really appreciate hearing about the status
of Mount St. Helen. Over the past several years, Johnny Burns has keep
us abreast of the mountains condition.
It was also fun reading about Bert's adventure on the mountain. Marjie
sent her thoughts and comments about the Mountain. Marjie wrote. >>>
Good morning Gary,
Just wanted to pass along my appreciation of the Mt St Helen's
updates. We were at a conference in Seattle 10 years after the 1980
eruption and took a drive down to see the volcano.
It was an interesting sight. The devastation after 10 years was
shocking but small green shoots were finally starting to pop up along
the roadside. The trees which had been swept into Spirit Lake were
still floating there. Steam was coming out of the vent on the side of
the crater which had collapsed. It was an awe inspiring view.
Again, thanks to those who pass along the updates and thanks to you
for giving them a forum to do so.
Marjie <<<< Thanks to you Marjie for caring and sharing.

Something I've noticed more in this years political ramblings, than
ever before, is the use of the word "friend". Everytime I hear the word
"friend" It reminds me of a story about a mouse that my good friends
Rose and Howard Wendelbo shared with me. That story ended with the
following.
~~~~~~~ REMEMBER: ~~~~~~~
EACH OF US IS A VITAL THREAD IN ANOTHER PERSON'S TAPESTRY;
OUR LIVES ARE WOVEN TOGETHER FOR A REASON.
One of the best things to hold onto in this world is a friend.

"The most important thing about your lot in life, is whether you use it
for parking or building." Or so it seems to me.
Write if you can, call if you can't, and, tell your loved ones they
are,..... before it's too late.
