Snelling and sking

The #3 book I’m reading is called A Land to Call Home, by Snelling, its copyright is 97, I think she’s written a lot more books, the friend who loaned these to me has a shelf full, I think.

And I remember that huge ski jump by the river, Darlyne. I’m shocked that you dared climb to the top, much less be carried down it by a skier!!! I was a small kid when they last used it, but I’ve seen pictures of it and a lot of our Norse relatives were pictured flying off it. Including John Holter, Jan, he was married to my dad’s first cousin, Joyce, last name also Holter. In fact she was my 5th and 6th grade country school teacher in Oak Park. John had a lovely accent and speaking voice. Their son, Jon Richard was our post master for many years until he retired.

There is a storm predicted after midnight , hope they are wrong, as I plan to go into Grand Forks in the am, a friend and I are taking part in a Bible Study at the Eve. Free church. The minor prophets are kind of depressing, but interesting, and they are the subject.
