Hi All,
I am waiting for five people to come to my house so watch a DVD about an artist. I didn't realize how small my tv area is for six. Hopefully, it will still work.
I had a great birthday. At eleven I met 3 friends for a brunch type outing at a pancake house near the University. Played Mah Jongg from 1:30 to almost 5:00. Then Joann and I went out to dinner at a favorite place called The Rabbit. They think of themselves as a French Bistro type place so you don't want to go there if you need to eat and run; however, Joann and I always seem to have things to talk about so the time goes by quickly. I had bridge at my house the day before so came home and ate a piece of yesterday's desert. Rum cake with whipped cream.
I haven't decided about Kristofer's wedding. Patrick will be returning to Iran for two weeks the 16th of May. I was planning to stay with Jayne and the kids for several days. Then June 5th is an Alzheimer's day conference here in Eugene. The main speaker will be Lyman's doctor at Oregon Health Science Center from Portland. Dr. Quinn does clinical appointments but also does much research. He will be speaking on the latest discoveries and advances. I am kind of a semi host to both him and Lori Sweeney the development director of the Neurology departments. I am going to Tacoma on the 25th of March for grandparents day at Thomas's school and so will discuss all of that and work out a schedule.
Marj will be moved to Madison, SD by then and would very much like to see her new place, but that may have to wait. We are having a 'going away' gathering tonight. I made desert this a.m...
English Triffle. Just have the whipped cream to do yet.
I need to put on the coffee and move a couple of chairs.
Sunny days to all of you, plus good healing and health.
xoxox, Judy

Judy,th card is in the mail. Seems as if it always was a snow storm. The menu would include Baked Beans and Cinimon Rolls. Hope you had a good day. Did you do anything special on your Birthday.
The weather here has finally moderated and the ground is showing. There should only be large piles of snow on the ground by the weekend. Flooding is very moderate at this time. We have had very little sunshine and the days it does shine everyone perks up a bit.
Kristopher's Wedding would be a great time to get together. Hope we can all make it.

BELATED BIRTHDAY WISHES TO SISTER JUDITH.
We are finally having some very nice weather. Sun and 70 to low 80.
Lisa, Andy, Cooper and Olivia we here for a long weekend. Lisa was very patient and letting all the grandma and grandpas enjoy the kids. Cooper is still such a little gentleman and enjoyed dominos, swiming, golf cart and moped. Jan slept with him in the motor home one night.
Olivia is a charmer and full of it. She is going to keep her family life exciting. She smiles, talks walks and wears two pony tales on the top of her head. They tied the cabinet doors so she couldn't open them all the way. She slams the doors open and closed with lots of noise and a smile.
This is a survey: Who is going to Kristofers wedding?

St. Urho, Grasshopper Chaser
Menahga, Minnesota
Menahga, honors St. Urho (Pronounced "oorho"), the patron saint of Finland, with a bizarre statue recreating his mythical battle with giant grasshoppers. He is reputed to have used his "splendid and loud voice" to chase the grasshoppers out of pre-Ice Age Finland (when the climate was much milder) and save the grape harvest. The Finns love him.
At least, the ones in America do. St. Urho was reportedly invented in the 1950s by a couple of Minnesota Finns as a joke. Today it's taken seriously enough that St. Urho Day (the day before St. Patrick's Day) is officially recognized in all 50 states.
St. Urho was originally supposed to be carved out of a one-ton block of laminated oak in 1975, but a Minneapolis woodcarver took Menahga's money and never delivered. In 1982 Menahga gave the block to Jerry Ward, a traveling chainsaw sculptor, and he finally produced their 12-ft tall St. Urho. Oddly, the statue now standing along Hwy. 71 is a fiberglass replica; the original is stored in a mausoleum in the Menahga cemetery.
We do not recommend the traditional summer night visit. The statue is the only well-lit milestone along thirty miles of highway, and the air is thick with mosquitoes. We ask: who is Menahga's patron saint, who will drive all the blood sucking bugs out of Minnesota?
One St. Urho statue is not enough. There's another in Finland, MN, along Highway 1. It's an "interpretive" Urho, very much like an arty Peter Toth Indian head, carved by the late Don Osborn in 1982. It was originally planned to be 30 feet tall, but the wood was rotten, so its 18 feet will have to do.
Urho has a grasshopper on his hat, no body, and he's poorly positioned facing north, assuring mediocre photos in all seasons. Actually, we preferred the statue across the street -- a 10 foot long chainsaw sculpture of a fish holding a beer keg.
Finland hosts a St. Urho's Day Celebration in mid-March.

Big Swede
I'm still not real crazy about going to the dentist and my local dentist is a good friend of our........actually have had many root canals and my last one....in Cottage Grove at an Endodontist was really nice.....no pain. At our first meeting I told him I was a basket case in a dentist chair......he commented...."Most people are..including me"
Have a question.....What was Big Swede's real name....help?
#3
Yes, I did bite the dentist. The lady that we rent from in AZ is originally from Jasper and you guessed it....her dentist was Dr Pizzaro.
In reference to Dentists
Yes we did draw numbers to see what order we went into the chair. Also when the person exited we always needed to know what they had done. Jan did bite I believe the father. In reference to root canals. Quite frankly no pain and when it is done the tooth feels better than ever. I couldn't believe the first time I went to a dentist other than Jasper and nothing hurt. Bob I do remember the old drills. They just vibrated in your mouth. When your feet come off the chair then you got some relief, but not before. I think we need to thank our parents for the dental care we got, because it was every six months which had to be expensive for them. Judy the player if from Portland. McCaffery.

i thought i was the only one to have a phobia with dentist. rosie also tell stories of going to him. you got out of a morning of school but it was not worth it. i was telling the therapies the other day about going to him in the late 50's and he would never used Novocain. she had just gotten a cap. i told her that at the base of the chair was a bike wheel with peddles. when he had to drill you had to peddle the wheel and it ran the drill. when he hit the wrong spot and it hurt you would stop peddling. i tell this story but this was the first time that someone believed me. when the son started buzz and i would always hope we got him. he also thought if he talked about girls it would not hurt. i busted a tooth when i fell this dec but have been putting off the visit. i m sure your visit judy will go good and you can go out and have a steak. tried to reply but there is no spell check when you reply. we must be living wrong judy as all we got to talk about is health issues.

Emergency Visit to a New Dentist
Hi All,
Last Sunday a tooth (Number 31 according to the dentist) had a slight ache. I haven't had a tooth ache in years so I was somewhat surprised. By Sunday night, the tooth was making quite a fuss. When I called my usual dentist, I got a message that he was out of the office for two weeks.
He would be back on Monday, March 8th. There was referral to 3 dentists taking his calls. I have a great phobia with dentists so thought maybe I could tough it out for seven days...no luck.
By Tuesday a.m. I left at message at Dr. Vodvarka's office to talk with one of the staff when they checked the messages. Late afternoon I received a call telling me that Drs. Dreyden and Bitner were very careful, also endodontists, and to check with them. They could get me in immediately.
I opened my mouth to have Dr. Bitner exclaim, "My, you have had a lot of dental work, especially crowns and veneers." As if I wasn't totally aware of that! Long story short I have an obsessing tooth. He prescribed a strong antibiotic which by now (Friday) has been working rapidly and I have very little pain. Tuesday a.m. while you are having your morning coffee break, I will be having a root canal. Actually, I am looking forward to getting this over with.
I am wondering if this tooth has been slowly getting worse and that is why I have had two episodes of bronchitis this year, plus an attach of diverticulitis. How many of you have a dentist phobia? I chalk alot of it up to Dr. Perizo (sp) and those visits to his office. I thought it was pure hell sitting in that waiting room waiting for Eva the nurse to open the door and invite one of us in next. We did barter for who went first, second, etc. didn't we? I haven't been to a dentist since then whose office smelled like his or was quite as green in color as his. Orrin, what is the name of the Oregon kid and I may be able to tell if he is from the western part of the state.
Have a great weekend every one.
