Cabbage Galore ...

Years ago -- and it's probably been at least 15 years ago, my Mom sent me this article of my Uncle August (her brother) from the local newspaper for some of the smaller towns in ND - the Emmons County record. Bob and I have a little mail bin in our kitchen where we keep stuff - local menus, coupons...etc. I have had this picture in that little mail bin for years and every time I sort through the items to clean it out, I find this picture and it makes me smile. It's getting real old and yellowed now and kind of frail. Thanks to scanners, I'm able to capture this picture and, better yet - share it for everyone to see. For anyone that knew Sybella and Auggie, this will make you smile :) And, it really is one news worthy head of cabbage!

Just in case the caption isn't legible - here is what it reads:

"August Ternes of Linton grew some giant size cabbage in his garden. He brought a 20 pound head to this sister Sybella Rahrich who lives in Bismarck. She says she made twenty some quarts of sauerkraut from the head."

Viva Las Vegas

Happy Birthday to Bob :)

We had a fun visit to Las Vegas -- we didn't come back millionaires, but we still own our house! You can't go to Vegas expecting to WIN. We came back with some of the $$ that we took, so I feel we did pretty good. Well, Bob did anyway -- what he won, I managed to lose! Still a great time.

Happy Birthday to Kate

Happy Birthday to Kate :)

Kate's on the left, I'm on the right...... we used to be teased 'the little angels' by our older brothers and sisters. Well, no wonder!! Look at our halos!

Kate, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And, many MORE.

Love, Donna

Las Vegas!!

Here's a hint of where we will be celebrating Bob's birthday on Monday. We've been saving our pennies, nickels, quarters and dollars that we can get our hands on. LAS VEGAS HERE WE COME! Wish us luck :)

Another Fine Couple!

And, who might this fine couple be?

Cute Young Couple

Here's a cute young couple! This is another niece of mine, Tessa with her handsome beau Bobby. They're great -- we even got to see them twice in one Month! That's big, because everyone always has so much going on, and we don't live that close to each other. Fun times.
