Loring News for Wednesday, April 17, 2024

The meadowlarks were in high form this weekend while I was up at Loring! Their song is a favorite of mine, and the concert was fabulous! I was surprised to see a flycatcher also. They are early this year! The trees are blooming, and the crocuses are beautiful on the hillsides! The frogs sang loud and strong down at the slough!

I visited with Cindy Clark and saw how the reconstruction was going along. Debbie Richau drove with me to Loring on Friday. On Saturday we attended the fundraiser for the GPDM. Lu Besel met us for dinner and then we went to the theater play at the Malta Event Center. The play was hilarious, and the snacks were delicious! Carol Lumsden rode home with us. She and Connie Wasson and Paula Morrison attended a wellness workshop at the Buffalo earlier in the day.

I was surprised by the GPDM board with a presentation of a plaque honoring me for the years of managing the museum. Lu Besel received a plaque for the years of being the treasurer of the organization and Damien Austin was awarded a plaque for the years of being the president and board member.

The North Country prom was held on Saturday and the attendees were just beautiful and handsome! Good luck to the students for the rest of the school year!

It’s a small world. Debbie and I stopped for a moment at Little America at Grass Range, and I ran into Zelda Fox who had met up with Joey for a while and he returned to Billings, and she went on to the Murdock ranch where she is helping Brenda with calving. It was so fun getting to visit her.

The moon is a tiny crescent and will be full in two weeks or so!

Have a great week!
