Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday, May 24, 2000 - Page 20 Freda heads on a summer hiatus I can hear it now, before I close the door on my house in Bluff... my friends in Chicago. So, you finally came home... N o . W e knew Run by Freda Aron away, do you do with your time in UTAH, of all places"... No, its just a visit. How could you ever leave your family for so long, I bet you were miserable... no. It just goes on and on, after my ears close up, my mouth For Gods sake, my opens. home IS UTAH, I am not miserable, I love it like crazy, I just wish I were younger, so I would have more time to enjoy it. Meshuga, (crazy), what else can we say, you really are"! Get the drift? Well, its that time ofthe year, again, and Im off during the season of hot, hot, hot, hot air, which I simply cannot tolerate. From the East to the West and into the Middle West, I will be visiting my children and my sister and other very good friends. But I never forget my Utah family of friends, so will keep you in my heart and in mind, every minute I am gone, looking for the idiocy I so love in people, all around me. And unfortunately find in abundance anywhere and everywhere I turn. What I do dread is the long, long, tedious trip to Chicago, the waits in the airport, the delays, the plane changing, the miles and miles between planes, the ptomaine tenders served on frozen buns, which I reject, but manage to swallow the dessert, usually a chocolate cookie. When I offer my food to a fellow passenger, they look at me as if to say, Hey Lady, why would I want a double dose of this crap? I do enjoy my momentary prestige as coming from, guess whom? The same friends who think I am crazy for living out here, drag me around to THEIR friends and boast, This is my friend who lives in Utah with Mormons and Indians, and she loves it, can you imagine that? They look at me, shrug their shoulders and say, REALLY, so thats it like out in the wilderness? HA! HA! HA! What begins to irk me, even before I leave, is the thought that from now on, I must lock the car door, take my keys in with me, keep my purse close at hand, never open the house door until I know JUST who it is, and drive defensively, looking out for maniacs who love playing the games of road rage. But Whatshemame is waiting for me breathlessly. Its not fair, you belong here with us, Fm keeping your bed warm for you. Who can refuse such an offer, not I!!!! So, keep in touch until we meet again. Have a great summer, hope its a loving and joyous one. I used to laugh at the way my mother ended her conversations in the latter years of her life and now I do the same. See you next fall, and if Im not around, will see you the year after or so. Just one final word. Blandingites missed another opportunity to see and appreciate a most loving, tender, intrinsically ecumenical film with the charm of Bing Crosbys Going my Way (for those of you over 40), KEEPING THE FAITH. Its about three youngsters growing up together, two boys and one girl. Now grown ur, having not seen each other for 20 years, there is a reunion. One of the boys is a Rabbi and the other a Catholic Priest and the girl, a successful business woman, becomes the center of their lives once more. Both realize they are in love with her, each in his own fashion. The way the two men of God, such good friends, handle the relationship, and the way the two friends work toward bringing both their congregations together in a sort of one world community and succeed, is a deliciously heartfelt story, why did YOU miss it? lets School year winds down to a close Only two days of school left this year! Some folks are really happy, and some maybe not so much. Dont forget the La Sal fTr, Northern ?ndh News ote Year program from sierra la sal by Maxine Deeter night at 7 p.m. It will feature the cute kids hamming it up on the new sound system. Because we have no one moving from fourth grade to the fifth grade in Monticello next year and are graduating nine seniors from MHS, I hear there will only be one bus running from La Sal to Monticello next year instead of two as was done this year. For one thing, that means some kids have to get up even earlier next year to catch the bus to school. That is one thing that makes La Sal kids tough, getting to catch the bus for school before 7 a.m. Sometime, quite a while before 7.

He is just sure Jeff would have loved to live and coach in Monticello! Maybe even live in a northern San Juan County village and commute to Monticello like some other fine folk. Dont know about that, but it was a thought. B-ba- hesitated to mention the J word for fear of jinxing the team. But, since that is now a thing of the past, I am going to throw caution to that which Ma Nature sent last week and plagiarize a phrase from Dr. Seuss speaking of the Grinch. Stink, stank, stunk!

I am now going to attempt the amazing feat of listing all of the seniors from La Sal who are graduating from MHS Friday night. Woe unto me if I miss anyone!
