Wright News by Jennie K. Hanson MARCH 26, 2007

I was just talking to Pastor Janeva Stromberg the other day and she told me she has 6 weddings to perform this summer.

With that in mind there is a wedding coming up that everyone should be interested in.  Alberta Clipper will be married to El Nino on April 1, 2007 at the American Wind and Sea Church of Levity in Blizzard, MN.  Alberta and El have just graduated from the college of Climatology in the Bermuda Triangle and plan to honeymoon in the tropics.  Standing up for them are El’s best friend, Vernal Equinox and for Alberta is her sister, Sunset Clipper.  Other attendants will be Dusty Storm, Jett Stream, Rainy Squall, and Tijuana Slews.  The Reception will be good and is planned for the Foggy Bottom Swamp Resort, weather permitting .  The happy couple will be making their home in Weatherford, Minnesota.  That is just a few miles from Lake Wobegone.  Let’s hope this couple does well and finds success in our area. Congratulations to them and let’s hope they don’t have any High Pressure and only wish them Happiness and Low Pressure!

That’s enough for April Fools Day news!  Have a great April 1st and try to play a few tricks or harmless pranks.

The Next Carlton County Retired Educators (CCRE) Meeting will be held at the Cromwell-Wright School on April 10th at Noon.  There will be a delicious meal of Chicken Tenders, Mashed Potatoes, Cheese Biscuits, Salad, Cherry Crisp, Milk and coffee.  The Exchange Students from the school will be sharing their stories.

There were 20 guys at the recent Pool Tournament held at Leonard and Toini Aho’s on the March 24th.  1st Place went to Kenneth Lake and Robert Dahl, 2nd Place to Bill Haapoja and Sulo Walli, and 3rd went to Laird Hansen and Craig Harp.  Lunch was served and everyone had a great time.  These guys play Pool at Aho’s every Monday during the winter and then recess for the summer where most or some of them play horseshoe at the park in Wright. You’ll have to call Leonard to find out the Horseshoe Schedule.

It always amazes me that so much can change in a lifetime and we seem to adjust and adapt with these changes without much fuss.  I guess humans are very adaptable.

I can now sleep again, knowing that Anna Nicole Smith died of a drug overdose!  Wow, how much publicity was made of this event?  It is so sad that a person has to die tragically and everyone in the world has to make a judgments.  May she Rest in Peace.

Ask and you shell receive.  Well, that’s what happened this week.  I asked my readers where I could get women’s hankies and I got two replies.  First, you can buy them at my sister’s gift shop in Hermantown called Wood Magic, and also they are available eBay.

Ironically, his mother’s maiden name was Marion Moon.  Gene Autry’s real 1st name was Orvon.

Household Hint:  You can whip cream hours ahead of time and it will stay firm if you’ll add powdered sugar (not granulated) while whipping.
