So sorry to hear about Dale's passing.  Deepest sympathy to his family!  I received a call from Deb and Dan this morning and they are both doing well.  She said Dan's been a great nurse and she is doing really well!  It was so good to hear their voices and laughter.  Happy birthday Larry Kay!

Dan - so glad to hear Deb is healing. Continued prayers for both of you🙏🏻  With a wind chill of -38 this morning, it's a good day to stay inside🥶

Sending all of you hugs and warm thoughts from AZ!  We just heard Dawson PPD is shutting down power for 30 minutes at a time, on a rotating basis, in their areas.  The power grid is overloaded in the Midwest and they're hoping to avoid a huge power outage!  I think there are records in the making for lows and highs today!  Hang in there, just a few more days before you get relief!

Anna, I appreciate that message today.  Thank you.

It's a beautiful sunny day in Loveland,  better get out there and take advantage of it.

What happened to Dick Garretts?  Is he now in hibernation and suddenly silent. Wake up Dick we miss your input!

To All  -  HAPPY NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY  -  We will be participating -  After the week we had last week we deserve it.  Fortunately we had no water pipes that broke  -  only 40 hours of no power - We stayed in a hotel for 3  of those days because we had no hot water to shower with.  We were lucky compared to a lot of people.  Our pool equipment froze - it is equipped with an automatic freeze switch to prevent it from freezing but with no power it couldn't operate.  I have accumulated all the parts to repair it but the guys can't get over here for a week to 10 days so most likely I will do it myself.  I don't want to wait that long.  My Oldest Son's pool also froze and will need the same parts as  mine so I will probably get a double dose.

Did I say  -  HAPPY NATIONAL MARGARITA DAY  -  there is another reason for the Schickedanz Family to be HAPPY  -  Carol & I will be Grandparents somewhere around the middle of August.  Our 1st and probably not the last.  It is going to be a Little Girl and here name is going to be Francis  -  well not really (I offered them $500 to name her Francis but apparently they didn't need the money)  -  Her name is going to be Olivia.  Our Younger Son and his Wife gave us the news on Christmas Day  -  it was a great Christmas Present.  We went to Maui for a week and got back  3  days before all the crap started   -  It was a Great 6 Days and watching the forecast we really regretted having to leave.  We get our 2nd Covid Shot tomorrow  -  now they'll have put that chip in me and Big Brother will now be able to track me down better.  Better get to Happy Hour  -  I don't want to miss that Margarita.  Here's to all of you  -  CHEERS.  Talk to you later.

Dick Garrelts

Still here, Dave.  Thanks for asking.  Covid protocol says to avoid people. I thought that meant the Forum too. My mistake.

I couldn't help but notice that you didn't inquire about #2, Kincaid, Schick, ... but we all knew Frank would have to tell us he had been in Hawaii.

Congrats, Frank.  Glad to hear you're safe and soon to be swimming again.

What #1 is not sharing is that he has been talking to some of us girls by phone on the side.  Lol

I hope you will forgive me for sharing that our  Dick Garrelts  is a HERO.

He was one of very few testing a new treatment, and it is going well!  He will be be rowdy in August at our 50+1.

Sue Wise (Divan)

Glad all is going well with #1.  I think of you often Dick.  We finally got appointments for our 1st shots.  Get those on Monday!  Whoever thought anyone would be excited to get a shot?!?  I'm not sure if we can get our #2 when we get home or whether we need to stay here to get it!  Staying here is a good option...it was 80 yesterday and I'll take that anytime!  
 

Sorry you have a frozen pool Frank! But glad you enjoyed Hawaii!  You were lucky to be able to go to a motel!  The weather was horrible all over the Midwest!   If you're on FB, there's a post on the "You know you're from Kearney when" page by Kami Balthazar regarding Rowdy shirts.  Dennis Miller from D'Milaco is coming up with a design for alumni shirts. He will post an ordering link if anyone wants to order one of the shirts!  I'll try to remember to post a link here in case anyone would like to order one.  Hope your margaritas were yummy Frank!

Sue Wise (Divan)

D'Milaco is taking orders for Rowdie shirts until March 14th at: Order your Alumni ROWDIE shirt today.... https://khsrowdies.itemorder.com/sale

Prayers for Mary Dady and all of her siblings on the passing of her brother John!  John was a great person to be around.  He worked at YRTC as living unit staff and then as a teacher.  Almost every Friday he would bake monkey bread for the teachers.  Something we all enjoyed.  He was a great teacher and made sure his groups participated in community service and experienced the great outdoors.  I was lucky enough to go on some of those field trips with him!  He loved giving his time to Rowe Sanctuary especially during crane season and took many people to Calamus Outfitters to watch the prairie chickens!  He loved his family get togethers and trips with his brothers!  He was one of my favorite people and I will miss seeing him at our retired teachers lunches!  Hugs and prayers for Mary and her siblings!

Ron Smith

Happy birthday to you Susie !!! Hope John was extra nice to you today.

Anna Sobotka (Schroeder)

   WOW  what a great rain here in Kearney (we needed it) !!  If we get much more I will have to get a boat for the backyard !!!!

Happy 48th. anniversary on turning 21 Barbie.  Don't fret not about making a big splash at the bars anymore and lasting till closing.  The "New High Bar" is staying awake through the 10:00 PM news.  If my calculations are correct you have been above ground for 25,202.25 days; or 604,854 hours; or 36,291,240 minutes  Celebrate wisely and remember if it isn't hurting today it will probably hurt tomorrow.
