It's been a quiet week in the July heat. People sit on their porches. John Torvaldsen of the Volunteer Fire Dept. set off the 4th of July fireworks. Parents worried that their children would be spoiled. GK wondered when his life would begin. Muriel Krepsbach had rheumatic fever as a child and spent a year in bed. She lived at home with her parents into her twenties. She was waiting for her life to begin. Deathbed last words of Mrs. Alma Lundburg and Mr. Elmer Bunt. He said, "No more for me thanks." / It has been an extremely hot week in Lake Wobegon. The residents just sit on the porch praying for a breeze. The fireworks display was set off up at the ballpark and it was glorious. It feels like the world stops and all trouble goes away. The children would love fireworks every day, but the parents don’t want to spoil them. When beauty is scarce, you learn to appreciate it all the more. Wally and Evelyn’s daughter, Muriel, had rheumatic fever and was kept in bed for a year. She was waiting for her life to begin. Muriel looked for some sign in everything — waiting and waiting. When Mrs. Lundberg was on her deathbed, she was asked if she was ready to die, and she responded with a surprising statement. Her message was that we should live every day as if it were our last.
