| Colleen Sherven Family Reunion |
The Colleen Sherven Family celebrated a
reunion over July 13-18 at Peters Sunset Resort, near Glenwood, MN. Festivities
included water fun on the trampoline, jungle gym and aqua mat in the swimming
area on the lake, golfing on the 18 hole course behind the main lodge, lawn
games during the day, along with an activity room in the basement which had the
whole family busy with pool, shuffle board, ping pong and air hockey in the
evenings! We all fit into a large cabin on the resort, which allowed for many
laughs and stories to remember as the years go by. Photo family members
include: Scott, Hunter, Chad Sherven; Alexis and Liam Solomonson; Audrey
Sherven; Jaxon Solomonson Ross; Joan Stafslien; Wes Sherven; Quinn, Alison,
Eden, Jared, Ella, Isaac; LyNelle, Trent, Alivia, Kristi, Aaron & Shelby
Anderson; Hailey Rolla; and Colleen Sherven.
Joyce McKenzie’s Exchange Student, Anne Pia Mollenhus from
Norway and her family were visiting Joyce and Pat for 9 days. She graduated
from Rugby H.S. in 1986. This was her 4th time over here.
While they were here, Joyce and Pat took
them to Ryder to see Pat’s home and they were very impressed with the older
homes. They also went out to Lee and Julie Brandvold’s to visit with them. The
kids wanted to see a farm with cows and big tractors. It was that really windy
day so the kids couldn't even play outside. Their plans were to go in the
swimming pool but couldn't. They still enjoyed their day even tho the weather
didn't cooperate.
They had been traveling for 4 weeks thru
Canada, Yellowstone Park in Mont., Wyo. and now ND. The kids said they liked ND
the best. They were happy to get here so they didn't have to pack their
suitcases every day and had lots of room to run and play out here.
The Mckenzie’s had an
Open House for them on Sunday the 26th. It was easier to do that then to take
them around to see everybody they knew from before when they were here. 52
people attended the open house and the kids had a ball. A lot of visiting was
done by all! They e-mailed Joyce when they arrived back at their home in
Norway.
July visitors at the Morris cabin at
Deepwater Bay were: Steve and Marge Morris, and Jennifer Morris of Lake
Charles, La; Jimmy Andrews and 5 children of Dallas, Texas; Tobby Morris and

Peterson, Dave and Cindy Peterson all of Ryder. There was a lot of fishing,
eating and tubing done, mostly eating! They all helped Ardys celebrate her 86th
birthday on the 14th.
On the 27th, LeRoy and Sandra
Peterson were in Grand Forks to attend the funeral for Sandra’s uncle Gordon
Hill. On Sunday, LeRoy and Sandra were in Bismarck to help grandson Jimmy Munns
celebrate his 3rd birthday at the Munns’ home. Also there were
Grandpa and Grandma Munns; great grandparents Don and Ardys Morris; aunts and
uncles Deanna Reikow, Cindy Peterson, Ross and Angie Munns and girls; and
Angela and Greg Martel and family. The kids ha a good time swimming and playing
games while the adults enjoyed visiting and eating!
