Hi all,
Well, today I really don't have much to squawk about. Either I'm not listening or there isn't much going on right now. Easter is coming up this Sunday so I hope all of you are doing things you want to do either with your family or away.
I've got a big weekend planned. School is out Thursdayat 12:30 and I plan on wrapping soap for the weekend so that I can be ready for when the Mini Max Flea Market open on Friday May 8 and I also have to have my product in Northwoods Crafts in Northome the first week of May. This winter just went to fast and the nice weather of Spring isn't coming fast enough. My Dad would of said I wouldn't be happy if I was hung with a gold rope.
Remember the Economic Development Meeting Tuesday, April 7th at 5:30pm. Hope to see you there.
I've got a big day planned tomorrow. I'm going to town to pick up my taxes to see how much I owe this year. Gee, doesn't that sound like fun!! Then I will come home and work on my soap products. I really enjoy making soap and it sure keeps me busy.
Hope all of you are having a good beginning of the week. Take care and I hope to have something to put on the blog that is interesting and fun tomorrow night.
Take care,
Julie

A robin was spotted in the Arnie and Kathy Peterson yard today.
A great turnout at the Bullhead/Fish Fry last night at the Squaw Lake Community Center. We appreciate everyone coming out for it. It was nice to see such a large crowd of people supporting the Community Center. A big thank you to the SLFD Auxiliary who helped with the whole meal. We served over 200 people. Thank you to all who so patiently waited for fish when one of the fryers quit working. This is a work in progress for all of us. Hopefully, in another year we will have things organized to avoid any problems so that when you come there will be plenty of fish so you don't have to wait. We hope you enjoyed your evening.
Tuesday, April 7, at 5:30p is the Economic Development Meeting at the Community Center. There will be a representative from the Grand Rapids Chamber of Commerce there to explain the benefits of joining the chamber.
The wind today sure had a cold bite to it. I thought the sun was really nice but then when I went out without a jacket I found out that it was quite cold.
Hope you have a great day tomorrow.

Thursday night Squawk
Hard to believe the week is almost over. My Grandmother once told me that when you getter older the time flies. Well, I must be older than I think because the time is flying way to fast. I'm way behind on everything I wanted to have done by now. I don't have all my soaps ready to go for the Mini Max Flea Market or Northwoods Crafts in Northome, I haven't finished crocheting all the scrubbies I need to have done. I guess I am just behind this year.
Tonight I worked on the forms for Christmas In August that I hopefully will be getting out to vendors next week. This year Christmas in August will be on August 15th from 9am to 3pm. At the Community Center will be Craft Booths, Flea Market booths and hopefully Farmer's Market Booths. Last year we had a great turnout. It will be the Saturday to come to Squaw Lake. The Max Mini Store will be having their customer appreciation day, The Centennial Lutheran Ladies will have their Salad Luncheon and Bake Sale, and the Mini Max Flea Market will be open for business. I'm sure like last year there will be some garage sales also. If you would like a form for it give Julie a call at 218-659-4239.
I did see the sun for a few moments today. Maybe it was out longer but I was cleaning so didn't notice. I do know that I am praying that anymore snow goes some place else than here. I am really sick of it. I was going to put a picture in here that said, "How you can tell when people have had enough of winter?" It was of a snowman with a noose around his neck BUT sometimes my computer skills leave alot to be desired sooo.... NO picture.
Tomorrow, the Squaw Lake Fire Department Auxiliary are getting together to prepare the food for the Bullhead and Fish Fry on Saturday, April 4th from 4pm to 7pm at the Community Center. It is great to have these people help out. Thank you all.
Take a Kid Fishing Day is coming up on June 6th. We have been receiving some donations for this. We hope to have a great turnout of kids and guides. Also, our goal is to send each child home with a rod/reel combo. With all your generous donations we will be able to meet this goal. We also want to give each child a goodie bags with items that have been donated in them. If you would like more information on this give me a call or email.
On Sunday when I was coming home from the cities I passed a farm that had cows out in the pasture with a bunch of new calves. Really made me miss that I don't have any cows on the farm anymore. What I don't miss is the cows running up and down the highway. I bought a lottery ticket today. Maybe, I'll win big and I can have a new fence put up around the farm so that I can have cows. I used to say that if Jim would win the Lottery he would farm until it was gone. It just seems that Spring is close when you start seeing the baby animals. I talked to my cousin Judy yesterday and she has 5 new kids from two of her goats. She still has one more doe to come in. The geese, swans, and ducks are in the river so all these things point to spring and then you look out and see the snow. I guess we should be glad that this isn't October and the start of the season.
May all of you have a nice weekend. I will try and write something over the weekend if I have time, otherwise you won't hear from me til Sunday evening.
Take care,
Julie

Wednesday Squawk
Good evening, I hope everyone is making it through all this lovely white stuff ok.
My day didn't start out so great. I got stuck on the first turnaround and had to have the tow truck come and pull me out. I couldn't be pulled out so that I could drive down the road, I had to back down the road must of been close to a quarter of mile or more. Wouldn't of been to bad but the snow was sticking to my mirror so had to keep sticking my hand out the window to keep the mirror clean. The day did get much better for that I am very thankful.
I see there are some ducks back. I haven't the foggiest idea what kind they were I just know they weren't Mallards or Wood Ducks. The son in law keeps trying to get me to recognize what kind they are but since I don't ever plan on duck hunting I don't listen to well.
The Squaw Lake Fire Department has been awarded a Valspar Minnesota Beautiful Grant. This grant was provided by the Valspar Foundation and Northland Foundation. Our project was one of 19 in northeastern Minnesota that was chosen to receive paint. We will be looking for more volunteers to help with this painting project in the Community Center.
Hope you all have a great day tomorrow.
