David & Susie ( Botzet ) Lusty

After graduation I, Susie Botzet Lusty, went to work in Minneapolis as a bookkeeper for a wholesale house and worked there for four years.   After my mother passed away, I came home to be with my Dad and worked at the Brandon Grain Elevator.  I worked there until our first son was born. While living in the cities, I had the privilege to room with two of my classmates LuAnn Roers and Florence Bitzan who are no longer with us.  Good times and memories will never be forgotten.

 

I got married in 1961 to Dave Lusty of Miltona. We have three children, Brad, Bob and Barb.

Roxann and Rochelle are sisters.

 

 

We were dairy farmers until 2005 and now crop farm and raise Norwegian Fjord horses.  I started working for our second son who has a packaging and shipping business and am still employed there as office manager.

 

 

Grandkids & great grandkids

We celebrated our 50th Wedding Anniversary in July of 2011.

All together we have three children, 7 grandchildren,
2 step grandchildren, 6 great grandchildren
 & four step great grandchildren.

 

We do many activities with our horses;
 weddings, rides at Carlos Creek Winery,
benefits for churches and rides at Miltona Tornado Days.

 

 

Every year in April we attend the Horse Expo at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, to help promote the Norwegian Fjord Horse breed. We also go to Blue Earth  for the Fjord competition.  I don't do much of the driving but my husband enjoys it.

 

 

 

We went to Texas this past winter for a couple of weeks. 

 It is hard to get away when you have animals.

 

Have not had time to retire yet. 
 We are looking forward to seeing everyone.
