Inside are about 8 pounds of 3x5 cards. Many are the usual kinds of recipes. But many others are recipes for life. They will be shared in this space.
For those who were unable to attend the memorial service in Decorah, the printed program and some other materials are posted here. If you wish to see something else in this space, leave a comment.

Although for some time because of congestive heart failure, Lucy was on oxygen and confined to a wheelchair, she was alert and happy up until she entered the hospital. We had discussed her death many times and she was ready to go to the next phase. On her last day Lucy was unresponsive, but we think she could hear the well wishes of her many visitors. An hour before she died she opened her eyes and although she couldnt talk, she was alert. We read her scriptures and she passed gently on. I also told her some jokes, and although Lucy didnt tell Noweigian jokes she enjoyed a good laugh, and she wanted this service to be a happy occasion. So I am going to tell a couple of them now.<br /><br />Ole was on his deathbed when he smelled Lefse cooking. He managed to crawl downstairs to the kitchen. He was reaching for the lefse said "Ole, thats for the funreral."<br /><br />So, Ole called the funeral home and said " Lena just died and I was wondering if you could come pick up the body?" The person fromthe funeral parlor replied "Sure, where do you live. Ole replied" On Rhodedenron Street." OH" was the reply" Can you spell that?" and Ole said" How bout I just haul her over to oak street?"<br /></div><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><br /><br /></div><span style="font-style: italic;">This poem written by Mary Homstad was read by Arland Braaten-Lee.<br /></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaKT1aRPt3rjaw2LDhoWYGpUWsHKQWwbRvHYqqW2ROwfBS5pqWhE628SVbnWj5L65ShyphenhypheninpZCier-4Cigd_9C4iDwu6N_fBvdndP4-BB9cUthaatWK0G9omETCoxOKp0-N0T_Pm6oM6G0/s1600-h/MaryPoem.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaKT1aRPt3rjaw2LDhoWYGpUWsHKQWwbRvHYqqW2ROwfBS5pqWhE628SVbnWj5L65ShyphenhypheninpZCier-4Cigd_9C4iDwu6N_fBvdndP4-BB9cUthaatWK0G9omETCoxOKp0-N0T_Pm6oM6G0/s400/MaryPoem.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5053099139557549810" border="0" /></a>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /></div><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Paul Homstad sang and played guitar. <span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></span> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Waiting on an Angel </span><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">by Ben Harper</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--> <!--[endif]--><o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Waiting on an angel<br />one to carry me home<br />hope you come to see me soon<br />cause I don't want to go alone<br />I don't want to go alone<br />Now angel won't you come by me<br />angel hear my plea<br />take my hand lift me up<br />so that I can fly with thee<br />so that I can fly with thee<br />And I'm waiting on an angel<br />and I know it won't be long<br />to find myself a resting place<br />in my angel's arms<br />in my angel's arms<br />So speak kind to a stranger<br />cause you'll never know<br />it just might be an angel come<br />knockin' at your door<br />knockin' at your door<br />And I'm waiting on an angel<br />and I know it won't be long<br />to find myself a resting place<br />in my angel's arms<br />in my angel's arms<br />Waiting on an angel<br />one to carry me home<br />hope you come to see me soon<br />cause I don't want to go alone<br />I don't want to go alone<br />don't want to go<br />I don't want to go alone</p><div style="text-align: center;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">The poem Lucy left for her service, in her hand.
