Laurie Bragg Sorkin

Got the painting from Doug, Painer. It's beautiful, thanks for packaging it so well (took 30 minutes and a now dull pair of scissors to get it opened!) Have been swamped with taking care of my in-laws the past couple of months.  Hope things continue to go well for your brother, Brownie. Always fun to read these posts - I check for new ones every day. Did anyone get a glimpse of the REAL Mary Sue while she was in town?

Laurie: Great to hear from you! I have missed your posts. Are your in-laws ok?

Randy:  Terrific news about your brother!

Barb: Please give more details on the cream can dinner.  We have a cream can and I want to have a cream can dinner also!

Back to work.

Even better news.  Gary is sitting up on the side of his bed joking with the nurses.

Makes me appreciate friends and prayers even more than before! 

There is a site that Gary's daughter set up  for updates on his progress. Carepages.com, you have to sign in, search for "getbettergary". 

Thanks again for your concern.

Brownie

barbequelovers.com/recipes/milk-can-dinner-food-for-40   So, Radio, I got curious as to what a cream can dinner was and googled  it.  I have never heard of it before, but it sounded intriguing. ML it sounds like the can itself can be hard to find, so hold on to yours.  This definitely sounds like it could be bonfire cuisine.

Here is another recipe from someone in Nebraska.  www.hpj.com/HomeCookin/RecordView.cfm

Brownie, glad to hear the news on Gary's improvement.  No more bacon?

Radio, congratulations on the lambs.  Love the news and weather.  Would like to hear more about the cream can experience.

Summer continues to perk along here, much warmer than last year.

Sunshine, how is your recipe for your cake coming along?

Found a site where you can find stainless steel cans.  www.ogallalacreamcansupper.com/

Radio I was corn-fused did you mean Mary Louise Aka "thum ba lena" with the info on Odessa?

Saw Brownie this morning, bearing gifts of donuts.  Nice to hear that his bro Gary is doing a lot better. 

Champ good news.  thanks

Sis,

Great pictures, but sad that none of them are Browns or Brownes...Right?


07/26/10 10:27 PM #5026    

Janet Browne Rose

 That is the problem with having daughters...they always give up the Browne unless they marry a Brown,...and my experience says that is not a great idea.

Candi Imming

JBR--great job on the travel pics...love 'em!  Hope you had a wonderful time.

The kids look great.

Another '69er heard from!  Hi Kent, great to see you on the site.  Join in on this blog, we'd love to hear what you've been up to!

Randy Brown

 Nancy,

Now that Kent has signed in, how many classmates are still on our list of "missing"?  Less than twenty?

Kent,

Welcome, How did you hear about the web page?

Brownie

Nancy Rogers Williams

I wish Brownie.  Click on the "Missing Classmates" link.....quite a few more than 20!  Basically, those that are considered 'missing' have never registered to be on the site, so in most cases, we don't have their email addresses.  We have most of their snail mail addresses, but that's all.  If you mean the list of those with no contact info, that's less than 20.  Corn-fused yet??

Come on MIAs, join us on the Class of 1969 website!!

Painer- OMG I was going through blogs and I read mine, yep, I messed up. Meant Mary Louise, brain fart I guess, or crs.

Skiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddddd! So  glad Gary is doing so well. We're still with ya.

=   Cream can dinner, put layer of potatoes, carrots, whole onions, carrots, cabbage, corn in husks and top with brats or kielbasa, pour beer or water, beer is better over all layers. Set can on burner, outside, like use for turkey fryer or could use a bonfire. They say it's done when lid blows off. I have never actually made myself, but have watched and enjoyed finished product. One can can serve alot. Our neighbors made a "hog trough" and just dumped all the cooked goodies in. Fun way to serve it. The Legion has this every year in Kearney as Nurse's scholarship fundraiser. They use several cans. That stainless steel one looks interesting. You have to have a lid that fits, steam is what cooks everything.  Good reunite idea? Note: Potatoes and carrots aren't peeled. I would prefer my carrots peeled.  Another neat idea a friend told me about is pitchfork steak. Take a clean, preferably new, pitchfork, stab a steak, hold it in oil filled turkey fryer till done the way you want it. Said it was wonderful, as hot oil sealed in juice. This was done to feed a large group too.

Need to go check profile pics, signing off RADIO

Kent H.

OMG you live in one of my favorite places. Haven't been to New Mexico for a year, I miss it already.

Great looking family, lots of smiles. Looks like a good life.

Janet br- Unfair, neither you or Mary Sue have aged. What a beautiful family. How did you get all those people arranged to be in one place at one time. How long did ya plan it? We have trouble getting 2 couples scheduled for a dinner out in Kearney. You are definitely THE WOMAN!!!!

Had BLT sandwiches tonight, farm bacon, homegrown maters, cucumbers, bean salad, and corn on cob. If I had baked the bread and made Miracle Whip, would have been a totally homegrown meal. Summer food is so good!

"Funny Farm" story,  our mama cat Ty, who owns the place, squeezed in back door (she does this all the time, thinking she's getting away with something and usually does), anyway a commerical came on the kitchen TV. A rattlesnake started rattling, she looked up, put her ears down and headed for the door, which usually takes alittle coaxing.  Now I know how to get her out...........

Have a new idea for bumper sticker. IT SUCKS!    Will be great answer for all the 18 wheelers on I-80 who ask how their driving is? Maybe should just get a vanity plate. Just saying.........  1 finger signal may be cheaper.  Stock market news! Buy stock in those pretty hiway cones, especially those planted by Lincoln and Omaha. There, got it all out, feel better now.

Is there any news on Wray, Janelle, Georgene??

RADIO signing off at 69.0 WUCRS, luv ya! PS-Bix Stop by we'll feed ya!

RADIO...FRESH FARM FOOD SOUNDS GREAT. I MIGHT BE AROUND IN 3 OR 4 WEEKS. OFF TO ARIZONA TO SEE MOM. BIG RAIN THERE YESTERDAY. GREAT!! 100+ AND 85!! HOT HOT HOT.

Y'ALL STAY COOL NOW

 Radio...I am NOT "The Woman", rather the mother of "The Woman",...my daughter Zoe planned and paid for the airline, a sailing trip, a luau and the accommodations for 64 for a week.  There were 31 from our family, and the rest from her husband's family... every aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparent, and kid and then about 10 friends thrown in.  I did cook one night for our family and one night for the entire group, but other than that, all I did was show up at the airport on time, go to Costco in Maui and pick out which rum drinks we were having, and organize my wardrobe for beach attire.  Truly the most generous gift...the opportunity to spend time with everyone (present company excluded) I love.  We joked about where we would go next and Odessa might be an option if we can guarantee at least one glorious sunset.

 Notice the picture in the corner.  For a larger view go to my profile!  Can you name these guys?

John Wolf

Brownie,

Our thoughts and prayers have been with Gary and your family since receiving the news via phone call when my dad called your mom while they were here last week.  We're sure relieved he's doing better now.  I'm sure he still has a long ways to go, but at least he's responding to the medical care he's getting. 

We had a nice visit with my folks.  They were here for an entire week.  I'd arranged for them to have wheelchairs in the airports and this worked out really well.  I'm sure this was their last trip to Seattle to visit us, so we made the time special while they were here.  

I was planning to come back to Nebraska for the all-class reunion in September, but found out it's the same weekend as the NU-UW game out here.  I'm in charge of our alumni chapter's hospitality table at the Sheraton Hotel that week, so my commitments will keep me here.  I'll maybe try to get back to Kearney in October or November instead.

Please tell Gary hello and let him know we're all praying for a complete recovery.

Wolfie

Wolfie,

Can you name the guys on Big E's front porch?  Look close at the short kid, notice anything funny about his cowboy boots?
