Where's the Rocking Chair?

Last weekend we spent two nights in Fargo. We visited Bonanzaville in West Fargo. Bonanzaville consists of several old buildings which have been moved onto a field and arranged like an old town. There is a church, a school, several homes and other buildings. There are antique cars and aircraft on display as well. The was an event called Pioneer Days happening so there were several bands and a parade.

We also visited a heritage center in Moorhead (with a Norwegian name I can neither pronounce or spell). It houses a replica of a Viking ship built by a retired teacher near Moorhead. His vision was to sale it to Norway. He died before he could complete his dream, but his children finished it and sailed it to Norway. There is also a replica of an eighth or ninth century Norwegian church. We enjoyed a guided tour of that church.

Our friends, John and Peggy Murray spent last night with us. We enjoyed their visit thoroughly. The lived a couple of miles east of us in Humbolt County.

Erleen received her North Dakota notary certificate this week. She is going to advertise her services at the Post Office and the Store.

My friend, Nathan Lunde, dropped by this morning. I rode with him to his 80 acres east of Hannaford to check on his cattle. I haven't quite earned the right to wear bib overalls yet, but I am working on it.

Erleen's sister, Rachel made us a great fish dinner (croppy) in Cooperstown. We visited uncle Denny while we were there.

Then it was off to Valley City for a birthday party for Erleen's neice, Angele.

It has been a very busy day. What ever happened to the idea of sitting in a rocking chair on the porch?
