Cally’s Corner: Spring cleaning, better late than never

Submitted by admin on Wed, 05/22/2013 - 12:29

Cally and husband Darby Nundahl live in rural Frazee and have six children. Cally enjoys spending time with family and friends, quilting, writing, painting, the outdoors and the country life. She is a writer, photographer, typesetter and proofreader for the Frazee-Vergas Forum.
