Minot Food Store

This post makes me nostalgic for the good old days. Minot was the best place to grow up. Serving and being a part of that wonderful community was an honor. Side note: we helped push countless cars out of the snow in front of that corner! ❄️🚗

Thanks for sharing!

From our house to yours, Season’s Greetings! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! The fondest, most precious memories of the holiday season took place in Minot. I even miss pushing cars out of the snow in front of Minot Food! Our best to all as you enjoy the magic of the season. 🎄⭐️🎅🏽

Thinking of my dad today on what would’ve been his birthday. I celebrated by hanging tiny cowbells on one of the bedroom windows. I can still hear him saying, I ring the bells for you, pow, Stella Bella! Best girl in town. 🐮 🔔 🥰

Happy Birthday, Momma Effie! 🎉
You’re the best girl in town. 🏆
We love you and wish you all the best! 🎂🥰

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀
Sharing a throwback picture taken the last time we were together this past December.

Wishing all the boys were under one roof. George is in Texas and Alex is in CA. We are trying to make the most of this quarantine. Take care, my friends. 💚 🌈

It’s fun to see the late Senator Burdick chilling and enjoying a Coke with his constituents/friends in Minot.
From L to R George Chumas, Effie Chumas, Perella Vorgarethsos, The Honorable Quentin Burdick, Gail Ellner.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Most especially to those, past and present, that continue to wake up at dawn to prepare a delicious meal for family and friends. We remember and celebrate you! I’m wearing my Minot Food Store apron and zero make up. It was 4 am when I took this and my turkey STILL isn’t done. Enjoy the day and much love. ❤️🦃🍁

I was feeling my dad’s warm presence all day and believe without a doubt he was with me. He loved being in pictures with his beloved friends and family. Every selfie I took (at every possible angle) had the sun’s beam on me. Stay warm, my ND friends. Spring snow is crazy! Much love. ❤️

Congratulations to Mr. Terry Clementich on his retirement after 40 years! He was my favorite person from Bridgeman Creamery. He worked hard and woke up at such crazy-early hours but he always made the time to visit and brought the half pints of chocolate milk that we loved so much. Enjoy this new chapter with your lovely wife, wonderful kids and adorable grandchildren! You have more than earned it! You’re the best boy in town, my friend! [photo credit: Betty Clementich]

Today is my dad's birthday. I miss him dearly but feel his warm presence in my heart every day. A sun's beam was shining directly over my son George during his pre game rehearsal (he's the one not wearing a hat). I know my dad's spirit was there that day and it brings me much comfort.
