Little Prairie Cemetery field day, Peace Garden, Etc
Message from Sharon Peterson Harmsen (’63): Bismarck, ND
On May 12th my husband and I had the pleasure of working alongside many of my old Dunseith neighbors and friends while involved with the annual Little Prairie Cemetery clean-up. We got to work with Dick and Brenda Johnson, Joan and Stan Salmonson, Maude Abrahamson, Loren Dubois, Lorraine Handeland Millang, Ronnie Strong, Bob Lagerquist, Dennis and Peggy Espe, my mother, Joy Peterson and many others who I’m forgetting right now. You know who you are………It was a very windy day, as has been typical here in ND this spring, but it didn’t curb the enthusiasm of the hard working group and the cemetery looked amazing at the end of the day.
Saw more old friends and neighbors at church on Sunday before heading to the International Peace Garden for the Mother’s Day Brunch at the new Conservatory and Interpretive Center. It’s a beautiful building and wonderful addition to the Garden. We enjoyed an excellent brunch buffet and the new cactus display. While at the Peace Garden we had the pleasure of hearing Gary Fulsebakke sing as part of the brunch entertainment; unfortunately, we missed hearing the Fauske brothers, Austin and Tyrell, play their instruments because it was time to go visit my cousin, Connie Peterson Lagerquist, Peace Garden horticulturist and get our free Mother’s Day plants which is an annual tradition. Connie’s good and still so much fun to be with. We made plans for me to come up and work with her in the Garden for the next several weeks getting the grounds ready for planting the many flowers and plants for the upcoming tourist season. Must be the “farmer” in me that has a need to dig in the dirt.
When you’re in the Dunseith area, you must be sure and go visit the International Peace Garden and see all the new, wonderful improvements and expanded garden areas.

Folks,
The lost blogs have all been restored. For the Year 2008 we are missing the months February through December. I never had those months in the old site, so they were never there for Amy to drag over to the new sight. I do have all these saved in my computer though. I will be posting a few each day until I get them all in.
This sight is ours, never to be taken away. Amy has done a fantastic job putting this site together. She has made the process so much easier, when compared to the old site, for entering the daily blogs too. It used to take me about 15 minutes to post each days blog on the old Website. That process now takes 5 to 7 minutes at the most.
In the blogs section, Amy has set up a “find” feature too. Just type in what you are looking for and hit the enter button on your keyboard. Use Parenthesis to refine your search as I have pointed out in the examples below. The search will list the blogs that contain the word combinations you are looking for.

Yup, I’ve been tweaking the last things this morning, so I hope all is well now. I got rid of the links to the Caribbean cruise.
FrontPage is a software program that you install to your local computer. I will send you a copy of FrontPage along with a copy of the entire website on a disc.
Thank you so much to you and those who follow your blog. The generosity is so appreciated.
Thank you again and let me know if you need anything else
