A little tidbit from Sue’s News.
The old rain gauge registered 1.7 inches of rain at my house
from the storm Thursday night. Lots of wind, thunder, lightning, rain and some
hail. I’ve heard some reports of hail damage and rain around the area.
Brenda Nesson Novodvorsky said, “We had some hail tonight,
golf ball size and lots of rain. I'd tell you how much rain but the hail tore
the gauge off the post. It also blew out all of our north facing windows. We
found hail stones inside the house, glass everywhere. Guess we won't be going
barefoot anytime soon inside the house! Dreading going outside tomorrow. John
went out about midnight to check the equipment and said the pickup looks
totaled and all the trucks/tractors have shattered windshields. It's going to
be a long weekend".

At the Lee and Julie Brandvold farm they had 1.90 inches of
rain and large marble size hail and lots of wind.
Folks in the Makoti area had over 2 inches of rain.
So how was your Thursday night? Along with the storm, my
doorbell started ringing around 2 a.m., I got up but no one was there. I didn’t get much sleep from that
time on as the stupid thing would chime every 15 to 30 minutes and since it has
chimes programmed into it, it played every tune it knew from Happy Birthday,
Joy to the World, Yellow Rose of Texas, Take Me Out to the Ball Game and many
more. By the time I managed to struggle up this morning, I went out to ring it
and see if I could make it quit...the darn thing wouldn’t ring for
me...grrrr. It chimed a few more times
after that but finally quit. I’m assuming the button got wet inside.
My poor tomato plants
(2 of them) don’t know what is going on. They are in planters and they move in
and out of the garage on a regular basis from the time of my putting them in
planters. First was the frost and I trotted them in and out of the garage for
several days, then came the windy days so I once again trotted them in and out
of the garage. I bet they were glad I put them in the garage before I left for
Minot yesterday. They must be thriving with all the moving as I see they have
some little yellow flowers on them now!!
Speaking of going to
Minot yesterday, I went over to the Verendrye Elec. Coop meeting along with my
brother Dick and his wife Debbie. I didn’t win any of the prizes or money (darn
it) but I did see and visit with quite a few people that I knew.
Troy Alderman, wife
Georgie and daughter Gracie spent a week with his folks, Don and Elaine
Alderman. Donnie had a fish fry while Troy was home and I along with Dean and
Lanette Schenfisch, Karen and Randy Jorgenson and several others went and
enjoyed the delicious food and got in lots of visiting.
Now don’t get excited,
I’m not writing the news again right now, I just felt the urge to write so
that’s what I did.
