No Blog Message tomorrow (Tuesday)
 
Folks,
 
With Bernadette’s birthday, our Cebu friends gave her & me included, a one nights stay at the Radisson. This gift also included 5 hours of various massages, foot spa’s, etc for Bernadette at the Radisson. We will be checking into the Radisson today. Bernadette also got a one nights stay gift at the Hilton from a very close friend of ours. We have until December to utilize that gift. We are so grateful to have such a wonderful circle of friends here in Cebu. They make our living here so enjoyable.

North Dakota’s Booming Economy
Posted by Randy Flynn (70): Happy Valley, OR
 

Gary,

Happy Independence Day.

Thank you for all the messages. They certainly help keep us all informed about the activities in North Dakota.

I recently read the following article about North Dakota’s economy. Another good story many people transplanted from North Dakota might enjoy reading. After the flood waters have receded the growing economy will help the people and cities rebuild.

Be Healthy, Stay Well.

Joke of the day
Posted by Pam Fassett Faust (65): Lilburn, GA
 

New Teacher

A former sergeant, having served his time with the Marine Corps, took a new job as a school teacher, but just before the school year started, he injured his back. He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body. Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt, and wasn’t noticeable.

 

On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The smartass punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him, and decided to see how tough he really was, before trying any pranks.

 

Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide, and sat down at his desk. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he picked up a stapler and promptly stapled the tie to his chest.

 

He had no trouble with discipline that year.
