We've had some good storms lately. We had a lot of wind and hail Thursday. I had almost four inches of rain Saturday night. The wheat and alfalfa is looking so green. As I look west through my kitchen door window I can see my peach tree near the hen house is in full pink blossoms, red tulips, and hyacinths in lavender, pink, and blue. They all are so pretty. I'm not able to plant a garden as it is too wet. I did buy four Early Girl tomato plants and they are really growing in my west room.
Larry and Connie Jenkins, Oaklan and Tia, and mother, Selma Ingram went Saturday to McPherson. They celebrated Kaden Jenkins' second birthday at Michael and Sonja Jenkins' home. There were other relatives and friends as guests.
Alex and Jean Stuchlik drove Sunday to Wichita. They attended Joshua Burns' first communion. He is eight years old and the son of Robert and Debbie Burns. The communion took place at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church. After the communion services a get-together was held at the Burns' home.
Mary Loewen of Hillsboro spent Friday afternoon with Irma and Bob Reznicek.
Larry Rudolph visited Thursday evening with Mike and Karen Walsh and Renee.
Weldon Deines accompanied Mervin Deines Friday to Manhattan to watch K-State girls' basketball team win the NIT game.
When I read 60 years ago Memories in the Marion County Record, an item about the Owl Car Café, reminded me when I was a secretary for Marion County National Farm Loan Association from 1937 to 1939. Our office was above Kuethers Drug Store as well as Arthur Martin's insurance office and the Carpenter lawyers. After work, my cousin Beatrice Stika, later Spachek, and I would stop at Leonard Perry's Owl Car Café on our way home and buy a large dill pickle out of a gallon pickle jar. Beatrice worked at Duckwall's on the north side of the street, west of Kuethers Drug Store.
