The "Threshing Bee" etc...

As I type this the parade is forming up at the Threshing Bee for 2010.  I am not participating this year.  Pat is involved with a antique quilt display in a old church.  She and others have gathered up a collection of very old and antique quilts from various donors for the show.  This is something that Pat and Elaine Nygaard started last year and they, with the local quilt guild have been requested to return this year.  I'll try to get a picture or two to post here.

Speaking of Pat;  She has taken the winning of election to the city council by the bit and is already recognized as a force to be reckoned with.  She has garnered the support of state Senator Andrist, a very influential politician in North Dakota and here in Divide County.  Several issues regarding the future of Crosby and Divide County are coming to a head after several years of forming.  Pat has the opportunity to be active in the decision making.  The next four years are going to be hectic I fear.  Oh my! She could be re-elected!???

We are also expecting company tomorrow as noted in the last post.  I am also preparing the RV for the trip to Illinois/Indiana for the Lamb reunion.  Pat has constructed a quilt for auction at the reunion again this year.
