Wright-Cromwell News

In just over a couple of weeks my brother John Dahlman will celebrate his 62nd birthday! He has been looking forward to this day as he can now officially retire and move on with the next chapter of his life. What that chapter brings is only to be seen, but we hope it is all good.

Sunday, April 1, was the day the Suhonen family and friends said a final good-bye and “’til we meet again” to their dear Vera Eugenia Suhonen. A couple hundred relatives, friends and neighbors paid tribute to Vera at her funeral at Bethany Lutheran Church in Cromwell.

The Little Cardinal Daycare in Cromwell is now up and running (or crawling). A team of wonderful staff members play and care for children from 6:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. There have between seven and 10 kids each day and room to add more. They always like to meet new friends! Everyone is welcome to stop by their Grand Opening, Saturday, April 21, from 9:30 a.m. to noon. They are in need of a four-drawer file cabinet if you have one to donate. You can also call Angela Sandoval-Luna at 303-918-6901 for more information.

A big thank you goes out to those who attended the Breakfast Brunch and sale on March 31 at Bethlehem Lutheran. The funds will go towards the 100th church anniversary celebration, which will take place July 22, which is also the Sunday of Wrong Days in Wright weekend.

I was asked for my recipe for the Egg Bake I brought, so here it is: Sausage Scramble: 1 ½ lb. sausage, ham or bacon (I used sausage), 18 eggs, 2 c. milk, 1 ½ tsp. salt, 3 c. or 1 pkg. sharp cheddar cheese, and 3 c. of garlic and onion bread croutons. Heat oven to 325 degrees and place browned sausage in greased 9x13 pan. Beat eggs, milk, and salt. Stir in cheese. Pour mixture over meat. Sprinkle croutons on top and bake for 45 minutes to one hour. Let stand five minutes. Best for large company breakfast and can be mixed 12 hours ahead of time and refrigerated until put in oven. Do not cover.
