Roses are red, petunias are pink, and this is blog four, whaduya think? 
We're taught that stuff we write like,stories, speeches etc. need a beginning, middle and ending.  So far I've used roses are red, okkel dokkel, and well and now I'm back to roses for a beginning.   Was going to say again at the end of that sentence but that isn't right cause this would be the first time of going back to roses and it would take more than once, I'm thinkin', to qualify as 'going back again'.   Now that I'm off to such an auspicious start I'm about to put this on hold cuz we need to go to Glasgow and lunch in town sounds good.  C U later alligator.
C O P  change of plans.  Lalon is waitng for aspirins to work, his arms are giving him so much grief, poor things.  They have to do the heavy work of supporting him cuz his legs aren't able to bear their share.
Hey, look at this, I can now do parapraphs!   You've probably noticed also that blog two is not lost.  Though it's boggling to my abilities, this machine is a marvel and I'm pretty happy about that.  Would never have the chance to connect with so many friends and family w/o it.   Seems I'm struggling to get my middle topic chosen in this fourth blog.  Maybe I'll talk about my kids and do my best to be sensible for a change.  Okkel dokkel?
Roger, Terry and Taylor went to Billings to be with Reece the grandbaby.  Any other folks they interact with are just incidentals. Just kidding, they love the rest of the relatives too.  Roger has the school bus route and his Vigor Tone Ag business and hauls grain for Gus Rosencranz up north to WP when he can work it in.  He drove game and out of town trips bus during the B ball season..  Terry's still at the Courier and Tay shares an apartment in town with a girl friend and works as book keeper for Brabeck Construction.  

She has guy friends and that's all she wants for now, friends.  Kelly, Pam,Morgan, Jacob and Caleb are spending Easter 'in house' with just themselves.  Pierz MN, near Little Falls, been buried in snow this winter. His job is in Brainerd. The paper routes he and the boys have  run on Saturdays for the last couple of years, have for the last 3 weeks  taken 13 hours rather than the usual 8 to complete.  Kell is excited over his new VW Jetta deisel, gets 45 mpg and can virtually 'plow' snow and still make 36 mpg.compared to his old Impala @ 26 mpg he's saving gas $ big time.  Morgan is a senior at NW in St.Paul and Jake a freshman in Wisconsin.  Morgan is still determined to work in China but the how and when are still up for grabs.  Caleb took drivers exam in Dec when he turned 16.  The examiner said if he got stuck he'd flunk.  Well they had 12 inches of new snow so guess who's retaking the test?  Pam has been interviewing for jobs for 2 or 3 months and has one on Tuesday the 2nd of April they are very hopeful about.  Fifty applicants for it and she's now called back for a second chance at it.  Don't believe the media that says the economy is happy days again.  Lots of folks are still out of work..............(we've been to town and back and the groceries are put away.)  Tried Mickey D's MacFish bites with milkshakes for a chaser fdor lunch.  Not too bad but mostly breading, like that comes as a surprise eh?  ....Reckon we'll be feasting here at 302 Sargent tomoro.  Splurged and bought melon already to eat and shrimp ready to 'saute in garlic butter.'  Also checked out a dozen books at the library so we're all set.  Lalon's busy now with a Susan Brockman novel which he says is gonna be good.
Back to the kid update;  Barb and Mike,Danielle and Logan are fixin' to move from Culver City CA, same zip code as Wheel of Fortune,to Kalispel in July.  Their house sold for 700,000.00 after they got it all ready (HGTV style). The new owners, lawyers, are moving in this weekend.  Barb's fam moved down the street to a rental for 3 months that is completely furnished with utilities etc. included for the tune of 10 big ones for 90 days.  So all their 'stuff' is with the movers now to be hauled north @ Castleman's command.  Barb is flying to Kalispel in May to look at property and hopefully she finds what they need.  Vicki and the boys are CA bound when school is out in June to do the Disneyland, Legoland thing and she and Barb will come back together.  Mike plans to have a greenhouse and aquaculture etc.  I googled it and really think it's an interesting venture for him.  Mike is such a worker bee!  She also is getting her MT teaching license... in case...So our family may be together for Christmas 2013.  :)  :)   :)
Thom,Dina, Nathan, Mikaela, and Abigail are in Dillon.  Nathan graduates HS May 28th and Kaela 8th grade May 26th.  Abbey is in 6th grade.  Dina is managing the Stageline in it's new location off campus. They got tired paying the college so much rent and bought a spacious bldng downtown, did a little remodel to it and are about run off their feet with business.  It's slowed down some since Pizza Hut finished their 2 month remodel and Thom sez they're fine with that.  He is selling cars for the Chevrolet dealer and enjoys that alot. He still puts time in at the pizza store with the rest of the family.  Nate, that handsome son of a gun, is leaving the nest for college in Spearfish SD.  He is into track and cross country and should be able to do that there.  Just a long way to go when homesickness strikes.  But growing up is quicker if you can't run home on weekends I guess. 
Vicki, Justin, Luke and Evan are in Kalispel.  He teaches Ag in a great facility.  The  school owns an 80 acre piece of ground on the river in South Kalispel and they bus students down for half days of classes in a couple other subjects as well.  There are 2 or 3 other Ag teachers.  Justin is quite invested in FFA and the conventions of that organization that his students get to attend.  He has Luke and Evan raising hogs for 4H.. Actually Ev was too young last year.  Vicki is still teaching Sciences at Big Fork to junior high and up. She is quite unconventional with her methods.   I'm sure the commute gets tiresome but if you want/have to spend money you need to make it.  They have a boat and camper now so they are taking advantage of beautiful Flathead Lake and it's environs.  She has scrapbooked and made a few quilts and is doing one now out of Nate's T shirts for his grad gift.  She's faithful in teaching the boys the bible, they soak it up like sponges.  They also have tons of Legos and spend hours building etc., with them 
Matt is home now from Afghanistan and hasn't announced his future plans. He has opportinity for Officer Training but Melissa wants to stay in Billings.
Jessie is still with boyfriend, Davy Conlon and works at Dominos.   
That's gonna be it for the middle and now I need an ending.
Let's see...have you heard the one about...Well, I am experiencing writer's block in the joke department so will close  with Wishes for a Happy Easter/Resurrection Day to Everyone 
Shalom from Arlene and Lalon :)
