This is a test

This is a test to see if anybody reads this anymore.

As many of you probably are unaware that Mesaba Airlines was sold to Pinnacle Corp. last summer. As part of the sale all of Mesaba operations would be either transfered to another airline with the remaining assets and jobs moving down to Memphis TN. This includes my current position. Although I have heard that MEM is a nice area, neither myself or Kate have had a longing or heard the call to head there but at the same time have left the option on the table.

This posting is to say that we will not be heading to MEM with Mesaba Airlines and I will likely terminate my employment with them. I have been given a conditional job offer to work for Delta Airlines here in the Twin Cities as a line mechanic at the MSP airport. This is all pending a successful, drug test and audiogram along with the fingerprinting as part of the background check. If all goes well (and it should) I could be starting mid January, just in time for the wonderful crisp weather and temperatures.

This is an exciting transition for us and we look forward to the future growth opportunities at Delta and to also stay in Minnesota to enjoy the four seasons and friendships that have grown deep.

Merry Christmas everybody ! ! !

Chew Yard Sale and dogs on the grill

Hey all,
We are having a yard sale this month on Friday 23rd, Saturday 24th and Sunday the 25th. We hope to get rid of much stuff as possible.

Stan and I were thinking it might be fun to have some dogs on the grill after the sale ends on Saturday the 24th. We are thinking the sale hours will be 9-4 and the grill will start up shortly after that.

If you are interested in stopping over for a hot dog and salad please let us know. Looks like now the plan is to be out of here mid May so time is a running out :)

let me know if you plan to stop over - thanks. Kristi & Stan

Update

Hi all,
sorry you probably all rec'd an email saying username password stuff was updated, it was just me. I hadnt been in the blog for so long I couldnt remember what my password was.

Anyway, I sent you all an email looking for tables to borrow for a yard sale. If you have any to lend us please let me know.

thanks!

Stan and Kristi

Hope all is okay with you two. Let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Summer is here !

Well not really, not yet anyway. But its not to early to start preparing. This summer I will be doing something not as adventurous or demanding as Steve and Judy did. (I know call me wimp) But I will be riding 150 miles in the MS150 from Duluth (Proctor to be exact) to Nowthen, which is close to were Dad lives.

Good News!!

I am proud to say I am once again a grandma. Kristin and Matt welcomed Ashley Marie Fezler on Saturday April 25th at 2:58 P.M. 8 lbs. 0 ozs. I visited her today and she is beautiful. Big cheeks and a full head of dark hair. Check Kristins blog for pictures. Mom, dad and baby are all doing great and Sammy will be a fantastic big brother.

Hey i'ts Kristi here, I will add a photo from facebook for those of you who are not members....YET

VHS?

Does anyone still watch VHS movies? I have a bunch of Disney VHS videos. I hate to just throw them but we cannot even watch them anymore...anyone interested or have ideas on what to do with them?

More bummer news...

you can add Stan to your prayer list as well....so we've been told - he will be added to the list of the unemployed due to more layoff's...

Bummer News

just talked to Colleen, she has been laid off from her job - had been there for 12 years.

She asked to me put it on the blog so she didnt have to tell everyone individually.

Better add Colleen to the prayer list.

Eric look-alike? He goes to our church

Hellooooo, you hoo, hellloooooo - anyone out there?

C'mon people there must be something going on or new photo's to post!

It's spring ahead to daylight's saving time - Yeah, that means springs is getting closer and closer! :)

I just ate a English muffin and I'm having a nice hot cup of coffee. Oh and Stan is in Australia - That's all I got for the moment, now it's your turn.

okay maybe one more, I will be going back part time at API, but will be able to do it from home, so that's a plus. It's actually a contract part time job, so I'm not officially an API employee, so I'm more like an independent business...hmmmm "Kristi Enterprises" has a nice ring to it ;)

Sad news...

Just wanted to put out a "We Are thinking of you Bill"

Very sorry to hear of the loss of your Dad.

Looks like a good one...
