Narrative:

I had called for a briefing at about XA00 that morning. Weather was no factor. No tfr; no NOTAM's had been what I received at the briefing with flight service. Baser on the automated weather reporting; winds favored runway 34 almost directly down the runway at approximately 10 knots. On unicom I reported 15 miles and inbound. I reported five miles 45 degrees entry for left downwind for runway 34. I reported left down wind; then base and final. Upon landing what I assumed was unicom asked my intentions and directed me to park on the left side of a palatus near the terminal. My husband and his co-worker walked from the terminal to the plane. After a short; maybe 5 mins; visit with them I decided a short final with my husband's co-worker would be enjoyable before we ate lunch. Going in the terminal first; I spoke briefly with the young man in the operations office explaining I was going on a short joy-ride; but would be right back. He directed me to park in the same place when I returned. I point this out because it was only on return from the short joy ride that I was alerted to runway 34 being closed. When I walked into the operations room the young man on duty confirmed that runway 34 was NOTAM'ed closed . I asked if this happened while I was on my short flight since I had landed on the runway before and called for a brief at about XA00 that morning. He stated that it had been closed for about a week due to frost heaves. No yellow 'X' were on the runway. I did not notice any surface problem upon either of my landings or single take off from the closed surface. He also informed me that they had been having problems with the NOTAM and were directed to call in every morning to make certain with flight service that the runway was still listed as closed. No further discussion on the subject happened. I departed on a different runway. While taxing to the other runway for departure a low wing single engine piper taxied and departed from runway 34. I have no suggestions to avoid this problem in the future. Existing safety procedures should have avoided this. I should have been notified during the NOTAM or at least after my first landing. Or the placement of temporary yellow 'X's' on the runway would have reinforced the situation. I am grateful that it was not a hazardous situation more than I would consider a 'bumpy' landing surface.
