Cathy Caulfield of Jamestown and Carrie Prince of Oberon were Saturday and Sunday overnight guests at Melodie Madson’s home.

Saturday afternoon, Carrie, Cathy, Melodie and Linda managed to make lefse. There was flour everywhere and some odd-shaped lefse, but it tasted like it is supposed to. A good time was had by all.

Saturday evening, Kennedee and McKenzee Madson presented a show they put together to entertain the adults. They played two Christmas songs on their string instruments, Kennedee on her cello and McKenzee on her viola. They also sang solos and duets, told some jokes and did a dance routine. They did an excellent job and this great-grandma is bragging and very proud of them.

Sunday morning, Dave and Linda joined the girls at Melodie’s home and enjoyed a lovely breakfast.

Sunday evening, everyone had supper at Dave and Linda’s home.

Words to Live By: Be like the willow tree-able to bend without breaking under the weight of the storms that come your way.
