The current temperature is 33

It was 92 degrees on this date in 1959.
We have been issued a high wind warning today. I'm not sure if will
will come from Mother Nature, or, the politicians.

I think someone, somewhere once said, "what goes around..... comes
around." An incident on the south end of town gives that quote credence.
If your old enough to remember the cars of the fifties and sixties.
And, If you also attended all of the Spoilers football games during
those "good old days". Then you're old enough, and, you most likely do
remember the Streaker, wearing nothing but a smile and his high top
boots, streaking across Chandler Field.
Those old memories were revived once again the other night. It seems a
fellow wearing nothing but a puzzled look and a few rows of goose bumps,
knocked on the door of a couple homes in the same the southend
neighborhood that Paul Stave, our Chief of Police lives.
Rumor has it, when the ladies were asked if they could identify the
individual that knocked on their door they responded, "only from the
shoulders up.
The "streaker" has been apprehended and is now a temporary resident of
our local Law Enforcement facility.

The Minto Cafe re-opened for business on Monday, April 28th. Every
community needs a cafe, a place to take nourishment and copious amounts
of caffeine. Local cafes also provide a venue for the exchange of
information. Often, it seems, in equal amounts of both fact and fiction.
I encourage all the folks in the Minto community to support their
re-opened restaurant. I applaud those involved with the new venture and
wish them the very best in the future.

~~~ HAPPY - BIRTHDAY --- MARCIA
You may have noticed that every once in awhile a member of the Molde
family is mentioned in the Gazette.
Bennie not only delivered the milk and dairy product to our house. He
also delivered flowers for Grafton Floral every major holidays for many
tears.
Mildred was not only a fantastic mother to a wonderful family. She also
took care of our kids so Pat could go to work and help pay our bills.
Although Mildred and Bennie's family was a large one, they always had
time for others as well. Yes, I do have a great admiration for the Molde
family. When people work as hard as the Moldes do. They have earned, and
deserve, all the admiration one can give.
I have mentioned several Molde family members throughout the years. May
4th Marcia, their youngest, will celebrate the anniversary of her birth
by adding another candle to her cake.
Happy Birthday Marcia (Molde) Seeba, from all of us in the Moe gene
pool. And, HAPPY BIRTHDAY from your entire family Marcia, they truly
love you dearly.

It sounds like Alice is preparing for their annual migration.

Subject: springtime migration
Well, it's time for the Hartman's to pack up again and head East. We
are in the process of deciding what we need to take and what to leave
here...always a big question, and we still haven't figured out how to
remember not to duplicate stuff. We will stay in Reno until Sunday
and then go north for a change. (Granddaughter Mercedes will stay
with us at the motel in Reno so we have to find one with a pool!)
Haven't gone the northern way yet. We like to see different
parts of the country instead of just racing across the same route. We
also like to take the two lane roads instead of interstate...much more
interesting. Just hope the snow is gone up north. We'll be in
Sioux Falls the next weekend celebrating Mother's Day with Gene's mom
and the family, and take off Monday for the lake. We have the dock in
but I understand there is still ice in the middle of the lake yet so we
won't be taking the boat out anytime soon. Gene is anxious to get
started with a garden. He built three huge planting boxes for Audrey
to plant her garden in this year and they look really nice. He
finished our retaining wall except for putting the dirt all back, but it
has to settle for awhile anyhow, and I can plant it next year. We had
to replace a hunk of fence also and tear down an old lean-to that was a
real eyesore. More wood for our winter fires! We will miss our
card games with Chuck & Linda (Gene's sister and brother in law), but
I'm apparently on a losing streak anyhow. Better not hit the casinos
in Reno for sure! We will miss our friends and family here in
Sacramento, but are looking forward to seeing the crowd back east
too. We have truly the best of both worlds. Better get
packing...Gene is starting to pace! Please pray for good weather and
road conditions for a safe trip, and we'll get in touch when we get
settled back in "God's country".
Love...G & A <<< Thanks a million for caring and sharing and we wish
you the best on your springtime migration.
