Here is news from 25 years ago from my articles my wife saved in clippings from 2001.
Some of my articles began from the year 2000, and I will be bringing jokes I’ve had from those articles and some news that I put in the Nordheim News 25 years ago and then some.
Jokes:
A women explains to her friend that her husband is lazy. The only way she gets him up to work is to throw the cat on the bed. Her friend asks, “How does that get him up? The woman answers,” He sleeps with his dog.”
Mrs. Schmidt was snoring away as the preacher started his last lap of his sermon. Because the rest of the congregation was annoyed at the sawing of wood, the preacher whispered to a young boy, “Wake her up!” The boy said, “Why don’t you? You’re the one who put her to sleep!”
Past news items:
Lindy Voelkel swears this actually happened. Back when he was a very young man, he was ill and his father took him to see the doctor. After the doctor looked at him and treated him, his father paid the bill by giving the doctor a dried sausage.
When the train would come through the town on Nordheim about 4 a.m. on its way west, the train would blow its whistle and wake everybody up. It was called “The Kinder Train.” Some people claimed that that’s when most of the many Nordheim children were conceived. At that time in the morning, it was too late to go back to sleep and too early to get out of bed. You get the picture?
Marvin Pilsner wakes up early on his walks around town and after the papers are delivered from Victoria, Marvin goes by the elderly peoples’ homes and throws the paper onto the porch. One early morning he was bitten by a dog. Both survived.
Sunday March 14th, Taylor Jolynn Voelkel was baptized in St. Paul Lutheran Church. It was also on her Aunt Ritas’ birthday.
Gordon Reynolds showed me the empty space behind the Nordheim Shooting Club Eating Hall where a new building was to be constructed for the BBQ Pits. It will be a building that is screened in and hot and cold water taps along with butane connections.
Bernice Wagner retired from being our organist at St. Paul Lutheran Church. She has been our organist since 1964. In those 37 years, she years seldom missed.
Mr. Allen was digging across the street from Albert Metting to fix a stopped-up sewer line when he accidently cut the telephone line that caused a blackout from Nordheim to Cuero this morning.
Would you believe? An optimist looks forward to marriage. A pessimist is a married optimist.
My wife, Mary had put every article I wrote in the Nordheim News since January 2000 into books until 2019 and it will be my source from now on, As the days go by, I will be adding jokes from 25 years ago. Some you may remember and some even I have forgotten.
It has been a slow week and not too much has gone on. It is still dry and getting dryer. So pray for rain. I think spring has come and gone again with the new northers this week and weather has gotten cold again. I sure did enjoy the warm spell. See you again next week.
