Mona Dionne Johnson’s (48) Birthday:
Message/Picture from Brenda Hoffman (68): Greenville, SC
 

Many of you probably don’t know how many transitions Ramona (Mona) Johnson has been through in the last year. She moved from her beautiful home and wild animals on Lake Metigoshe to an apartment in Bottineau. Her home sold and Brian, her son, and his wife retired to Bismarck. Mona still lives in Bottineau with it’s many pluses, but she misses her wild animal sightings.


Her sons, Brian, Craig and Ross, with the help of her sisters, Elaine and Sister Marlyss, surprised Mona on her birthday last week.


In the photo, Mona is on the left, her younger Sister Marlyss is seated in the middle and her oldest sister, Elaine, on the right.


Now I’ll let Mona tell about her surprise party:


My sisters arrived late Monday afternoon – what a surprise! We had birthday cake that night and just gabbed until midnight. The next day, we looked at the latest pics of my great grandkids; Elaine took us to lunch; we went shopping; and then onto the Dairy Dipper so Elaine could taste the Juneberry ice cream (Cow Pie). That night, as arranged by Brian, Craig, and Ross, we had supper at the Norway House, and yet more cake when we got home. Even though it was a busy time, it was so great to be together again – we haven’t been together for quite a few years – that is, all three of us at one time. Love, Mona
Mona, You gals all look great! Did Maryls or Elaine ever attend school in Dunseith? Where are they living now? It is wonderful that they were able to be with you for the celebration of your birthday. I’ll bet this was a special birthday too. Gary
Dionnne sisters: Mona Johnson, Marlys & Elaine
