Has anyone ever tried or heard of this before??????
For those of us who love corn on the cob, this is an absolute must see!
No mess to preparing it, no silks to try to brush out of the corn, it comes out clean.

Mary Ann Hagen & Dennis (Hawkeye) Haakenson
Posted by Rose Hohl: Bottineau, ND & Cebu, Philippines.
I wanted to share this nice picture of Mary Ann Hagen and my cousin Hawkeye Haakenson with today’s posting. I will share several more tomorrow. Hawkeye’s mother, Mabel Kofoid Haakenson, and my dad were first cousins. This picture was taken last week at a VFW dinner in Bottineau. Many of you know Hawkeye. He is pretty famous with his horses. Hawkeye’s mother, Mabel, worked at Thompson’s bakery in Bottineau for many years. Gary

I don’t think I’ve sent this picture before, either. I recognize Albert/Em Halvorson, but that’s about it. One fellow resembles Curt Halvorson, but he would be younger than the others in the picture.
In the email I just sent, I said I have 5 copies of that picture. I actually have 4 copies of the other picture and two copies are this picture.

Neola, These are some very familiar faces in these pictures. I am sure our readers will be able to identify them. I agree, that does look like Curt Halvorson in the back 2nd from the left standing next to Albert Halvorson.We are so glad that you are feeling better these days. I can tell by your email address that you are back in Bottineau again too.As always, we thank you Neola for sharing all these nice pictures. You have most certainly energized these daily postings over the past 4 years.Gary
Hi Gary,
I don’t THINK I’ve sent this picture before. The only one I recognize and can name is Mildred/Mid. The lady on the far right (sitting) looks very familiar, but I can’t “place” her.
I should be making caramels, but I happened to see this picture and HAD to scan/send it to you! LOL!! There are 5 copies of this picture, should anyone like to have me mail one/more to them.
I am feeling MUCH BETTER these days!!! I love it!!
Neola
Joke of the day.

The North Dakota Department of Employment, Division of Labor Standards claimed a small farmer was not paying proper wages to his help and sent an agent out to investigate him.
GOV’T AGENT: “I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them.”
FARMER: ”Well, there’s my hired hand who’s been with me for 3 years. I pay him $300 a week plus free room and board.
…. then there’s the mentally challenged guy. He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of all the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a
bottle of bourbon every Saturday night so he can cope with life. He also sleeps with my wife… occasionally.”
GOV’T AGENT: “That’s the guy I want to talk to – the mentally challenged one.”
FARMER: “That would be me.”
