This column is going to start with a running of the words, followed by very important Minnesota news, namely the Minnesota Twins:
A. I suspect you are reading this after the 4th of July. If so, I hope you honored the U.S. Flag and all the history leading up to it. If so, as a Korean War Veteran, I thank you.
B. Something to think about: “Where you live - Live.” In other words, get involved in your area - don’t just bitch about your surroundings.
F. Think about all the dealings as a customer you’ve had with the employees of some business. Many times you’ve asked away with the feeling they don’t want customers.
Two sisters at Taco John’s in Albert Lea were just the opposite; they gave you the feeling that you as a customer are most appreciated.
I’m referring to them as the S and S Sisters as I had trouble knowing which one was treating me as a valued customer. Their voices are identical.
They even trick or treated our house on Halloween!!
After about four years of their great service, I feel some emotion as they have moved on to different employers.
G. Karen, our church secretary, is a lady of many talents. Confusing old Norwegians is one of them. For example, when she said of herself, “I’m back to normal.” I mentioned to hubby Wayne my being confused. His reply, “Don’t feel bad, she has me confused all the time!!”
And now for the important news of a bus trip to see the Minnesota Twins baseball team play the Kansas City Royals on Monday, August 12 in Minneapolis.
