Folks, Today is our bowling day, so I have to wrap things up a little early this morning. Bernadette bowled a 178, a personal all time high, last week. Not bad for a gal that started out last year with about an 80 average. Her average is about 125. Mine is 130. For us it’s the camaraderie that counts, not the scores. Gary

Hi Gary: We met Neola several years ago, while I was playing Bass guitar with Daryl Opstedahl (who was a fine accordian player until a few years ago, his health keeps him from playing.) Daryl and I were playing for a dance at the Bottineau Armory and Neola’s brother Jim was and still is an avid fan of Old Country Music introduced us to his sister Neola and since then we became close friends. We love to buy her candy and various types of taffy. (Caramel, Licorice etc etc) she sure can bake…. Rita…
P.S from Richard. I sure enjoy reading your blogs every night, I have to check my mail each and every nite before shutting down my computer. Your blog is very interesting and very informative. I have learned alot about many of our friends from the whole northern area of ND…..
Rita & Richard, Now that you mention it, I remember Neola telling about when she met you guys. Yes, Neola is a lady of many talents and interests. We are so blessed to have her. Gary
