Folks,
I filed our income taxes last night online with Turbo Tax. So now we have that out of the way. The process is pretty simple with them rolling everything in from the previous year. All I had to do was add the numbers and current info.
I have added a few more pictures from Art Hagen’s farewell party. It was a fun night. Art is currently in Arizona, but plans on being back in Bottineau by very early April. When we saw Rose yesterday she told Bernadette “I already miss him”. Not sure if she can hold out until July when she plans on going back to Bottineau.
This evening we are having our Monthly Expat dinner. The attandance for these dinners has been growing with anywhere from 30 to 50 plus folks. Folks are bonding well and are looking forward to these dinners.
Folks, Please share any pictures that you have of the cruise and any others too. I have posted nearly all that we have.
Gary

Joke of the Day
Two sisters, one blond and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble…
In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.
Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, ‘When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I’ll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home.’
The brunette arrives at the man’s ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it.
The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.
She walks into the telegraph office, and says, ‘I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I’ve bought a bull for our ranch and I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.’
The telegraph operator explains that he’ll be glad to help her, then adds, it will cost 99 cents a word.
Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette realizes that she’ll only be able to send her sister one word.After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, ‘I want you to send her the word ‘comfortable.’
The operator shakes his head. ‘How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word‘comfortable?’The brunette explains, ‘My sister’s blonde. The word is big.
She’ll read it very slowly… ‘com-for-da-bul.’
