Arla's Aimless Anecdotes

This is my attempt to write one occasional email to various people at one time. I specifically write with my cousin Judy in mind. Since we grew up together we agreed in our teens that we'd always try to keep in contact. This is a supplement to our twice yearly phone calls and our once yearly visit at our Johanson Family Memorial Day Reunion.

Back when we were somebody


Arla Judy Barb Kay Proband Hanna

You might not recognize the faces but you should remember some names. Hanna posted this on her fb so I will share as you don’t want to miss it I’m sure. It looks like our Frazier automobilie but I can be corrected.

The day has been filled with a few accomplishments, notably the light in the oven now works after a five-year recess. I feel very clever when I’m able to locate the breaker switch, use the needle nose pliers to remove the broken bulb, and finally to then install the newly purchased appliance bulb. Maybe I’ll even like baking in a lighted oven. I should mention that I actually operated a huge mixer and made dough for 30 dozen cookies last Tuesday. For the past 7 years I have simply been assembling dry ingredients and washing dishes so it was an exciting day for me. I got to stand next to Barb so we chatted the entire time until we both laughed so hard when I mentioned that I’d forgotten the brown sugar in one batch I made. Never mind, cookies will withstand almost anything and still look, smell and taste great.

Are you excited about your new mayor candidate? I guess there’s only one left as this city has a way with hiring and keeping their mayors.

I was talking to Ron more often but the last few times we talked via Skype and I think my appearance frightened him so he hasn’t called back in a month now. All those wrinkles can be scary.

Have you been following the sports activities on Sundays again? Anyone particular following them with you?
