The little boy and girl quilt made for Pennie

Nancy and I worked on this alot of hours in one week but we together got it finished for the going away "Ice Cream Social Night" at the church. It is beautiful Nancy, and we loved making it for you, Pennie. Milton and her husband Johnny helped some to. Thanks for your decisions and your colorful choices.
Each little girl and boy were completely different in color for outfit and hats. Each representing one of the students that Pennie taught while here in Glendive for 4 years. We will miss them! This little girl reminded me of Miranda! This little boy in the red and blue outfit reminded us of Alex, her son.


All kinds of flavors of ice cream, toppings and cookies for your tastebuds

Burt, Pennie, Miranda, and Alex Wredberg

Coleman & Mom's home in Pa


Randy, Mary Jane, and I traveled from Collegedale, Tn to Montoursville, Pa in 10 hrs and it was a good trip. I don't like Rt 81 as very busy road and too many trucks but nice to get in the mts and see all the green. Mom has alot of trees all around her yard and I counted 21 tall tall trees out in their back yard. Next door is a park like area and very pretty with alot of flowers and the man that takes care of it even has his potatoes and squash growing in there. We arrived on June 26, and MJ and Randy were there for 2 days and went onto their friends in Canada and then to Randy's folks place before meeting up with them again in Mi for the Halvorsen Reunion. So I got to enjoy Mom and Coleman's company for 10 days and we had a good time together, in Pa.
Mom working away in her flower beds, look at all the shade they can enjoy in Pa!

Ski-doing anyone?


Ryan enjoying his skido for the first time this summer. Alot of jumping in the waves of their boat and having a good time and cooling off in the water. The air temp was 94 and the water felt wonderful. Then Randy and Mary Jane took their turn at the skido.

This is the good life. Who let this gal behind the wheel?

Movin,Movin, Movin

Ryan's nice 1 bedroom apt here in Mt.Vernon,Ohio, this whole area use to be fields and wooded area's when I was here for school 40 years ago. All very nice and he had good neighbors and Mrs. Smith gave us a piano recital for a few minutes before we left and she is 96 yrs old. She played all the songs without any music open for her.




We've just begun to load at 4:45pm and finished at 8:45pm. Will it all fit? It's an 18 ft truck?
Dad, I have several of these Canada shirts!!



Good Ole MVA
