Nordheim News GOD first...Heavenly Father, the prayers we often offer are things that concern others around us. We know these prayers will be considered and handled by Your Amazing Grace. The power of each prayer, when combined with others, carries the seriousness of our hope for the attention of each thing we desire. With the strengths, of many in faith, we ask in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, whom we trust in all things. Amen. Pray for those who are ill, suffering, grieving, or are in harms way.
Alexandra, a city girl, marries a farmer and is really gullible in the ways of farming and ranching.
One morning, before the farmer goes to work in the fields, he tells Alexandra that a man will be coming this morning to artificially inseminate one of their cows in the barn.
She asks, “How will I know which one?”
He says, “I will drive a large nail into a 2X4 above the cow’s stall before I leave.”
The farmer leaves and later that morning the man came to inseminate the cow.
Alexandria leads him to the barn and down the stalls filled with other cows and she sees this nail driven into the 2X4 and says. “This is the one right here.”
The man asks, “How do you know?”
“By the nail over the stall.” she answers.
The man asks, “What’s the nail for?”
She, “I guess it’s to hang your pants on.”
The Nordheim Garden Club met Saturday, the 8th of November, with the program being about the trip Roberta and Rita took to Norway. They went to Norway at the request of Rita’s exchange student. They left on July 25 and returned on Aug. 12. Nathea Roli was an exchange student at her home and attended Goliad High School from 20152016. Her parents and Mathea took them all over Norway from Stcberger, Oslo, Raros, Trondhiiam, Lom and back. They showed us pictures they had taken along the way. Lots of waterfalls, fjords and scenery along the way. They took a boat ride to an island off the coast called Flovn Fjaere. There they showed us where a couple had built a beautiful garden of flowers from all over the world that could be open to the public only from May to the first of September. It was 29 acres of the most beautiful flowers, plants, and trees. The paths on this nursery were lined with bricks. They even had cactus, and all the plants were kept in a glass hot house during the winter months. There were 11 of us watching a color 24-inch TV screen. I’m glad I didn’t go with them because they did a lot of walking and climbing on the trip.
Wednesday, the 10th, I went to the Nordheim Shooting Club Hall to meet with Shooting Club members and workers who had opened the Hall expecting a crew that were filming places in Yorktown and were coming to Nordheim to film the Tractor Pull which we have in May. Country Reporter Chet Garner has a PBS program featuring interesting towns here in Texas called Day Trippers. He and his crew were impressed by the size of our Dance Hall. They interviewed Joseph Warwas, Ronda Volkel, and I for a TV program which will be aired on Channel 9 sometime in February next year. We are all looking forward to seeing it.
At Koffee Klatch this morning, Dennis had a gun magazine that featured a group of brothers that manufactured guns and rifles by the name of Von Nordheim.
One person featured an iphone picture of a mountain lion at a deer feeding somewhere in Weesatche. It looked a little skinny. Heard that they travel in a 100 square mile area. On one of my trips driving down Amadore HIll, I saw a black panther cross the dirt road in front of me and about 100 feet further I saw a beautiful fox cross in the same direction. It was across from the Seiler Ranch across the creek. It’s been several weeks ago. I swear, I wasn’t drinking. Most of them at the time I told sort of had a questioning look on their faces.
Some of our group told me that they saw the Northern Lights that appeared after 10 p.m. last night. It was reported that someone living in Victoria even saw it.
Also, our new pastor arrived with a U Hall Truck full of her belongings and a group of hardy men and women helped her unload the entire contents. Looks like she intends to stay at least a day or two or maybe more. She will officially be our new pastor on the 30th of November. She even has a big overprotective dog to keep her safe. You don’t want to mess with her.
See you next week.
