Katie Pesek

I start out this week with a bit of sad news. One of Edmore’s elders, 93-year-old Katie Pesek, passed away last week. Her service was held on Wednesday. Most of Katie’s friends have passed on, but it was clear by those who were there how much she was respected and so loved. Many of the friends of her kids and grandkids came to share love, prayers, and to comfort her family. Small towns are the best!! Katie spent much of her life cooking and baking in several small towns in our area. She was our favorite cook from 19952011, when she retired at the young age of 80. She was especially known for her Rolukis and Kolaches. She will be missed. God bless her memory. There was a baby shower on Saturday for baby girl Kuchar. She will be born soon to Jordan and Bethany Kuchar. It’s always so exciting when our population grows. I’m anxious to meet this much loved baby girl!

Our church book club continues to meet weekly. Our book now is “The Tell” by Amy Griffin. It’s a memoir revealing how far we will go to protect ourselves and the healing made possible when we confront our secrets and begin to share our stories. So far so good!!

Last week, Ramsey County met and approved the transfer of the Edmore school and money to Edmore City. Next, it will go to the state reorganization committee for final approval. Hopefully, this will be happening in the next few months. Many options and ideas for how to best use the school are being discussed. Pretty exciting news!!!

Well, that’s it for today. Take care, and do something nice for someone.
