St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Ellsworth closed it doors last weekend. A long procession of cars accompanied the holy relics to St. Catherine Catholic Church in Luverne. The Luverne members were very welcoming to the members of St. Mary’s and found places for the antiquities that accompanied them. Although it will continue to be hard to see the church no longer being used to celebrate Mass, the members of St. Mary’s have found a new home.
Kay Cox had quite a few visitors last week. On Monday, JoAnn Klein from Conrad, IA stopped to say hi on her way to Custer, SD to see her son Kevin. On Tuesday Pam Dobson and Cindy Vortherms stopped in to visit with Kay.
The residents of Adrian Country Living Cottages were so excited to see resident Carol Henning all decked out for her grandson Kody’s wedding this past Saturday. Her beautiful dress was complete with a black mink stoll borrowed from Eileen Henning’s collection. It was a special time for her.
The following is a poem written by Kay Cox about this past Sunday.
With 3 inches of snow more or less
The folks at Wilmont could only guess
Their big fall dinner was hours away!
The tables were set
All knew what to do
They stick together like
Elmer’s glue.
The food was delicious, the service was great
Plan ahead for next year – don’t be late!
And a silent auction-who could ask for more!
The Vikings won! What a great score
To the Vikings and Wilmont, I have to just say
Thanks! You made my day!
Thought for the week: This is taken from Jerry’s Jotting Oct. 3, 2018. Voting is your right. So is not voting, but why leave the outcome to others. Knowing the candidates is our responsibility and should be for an informed choice. You can vote for someone or against them but know why. If you are just checking boxes, then I would suggest you stay home.
