No Blog Tomorrow (Saturday)
Tomorrow we are having a fiesta, hosting about 140 folks for dinner at our house. We are having it catered, so that relieves a lot of the stress and work on Bernadette’s part preparing all the food. With Bernadette’s health issues, it would be quite a stress if she was to do all the preparations. Half of our guests are our Expat friends. The other half is local friends and folks that live in our immediate area inclusive of Bernadette’s relatives, our helpers and their families. We have hired disco music too, so it should be a fun evening.
With all this going on tomorrow, I will not get a blog posted.

This has no names on it. On the far left is Alpha Gunderson and the man in the white shirt is Ed Gunderson. Is there anyone out there that recognizes anyone else? It is taken at Rendahl Church grounds in 1940.
Susan,
The guy on the fare right in the back looks like Rodney Ovitt. Could it possibly be his dad?

Salem Church Renovation pictures

Folks,
Leonard and Arliss Rude Hagen did a fantastic job renovating Salem Church in the summer of 2004. Preserving the natural architecture of the church, they did a total renovation of the church both inside and out.
Arliss is a sister to LaVarne and Glen Rude. Their parents were Albert and Gladys Bjornseth Rude. Their home was about 1/8 mile east of Salem on Highway 43 on the south side of the road. Glen is still living on the home place.

Joke of the day
Mule Trading
Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Starkville Daily in Starkville , MS and bought a mule for $100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.
The next morning the farmer drove up and said,”Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night.”
Curtis & Leroy replied, “well, then just give us our money back.”
The farmer said,”Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”
They said, “OK then, just bring us the dead mule.”
The farmer asked, “What in the world ya’ll gonna do with a dead mule?”
Curtis said, “We gonna raffle him off.”
The farmer said, “You can’t raffle off a dead mule!”
Leroy said, “We shore can! Heck, we don’t hafta tell nobody he’s dead!”
A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked.
“What’d you fellers ever do with that dead mule?”
They said,”We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do.”
Leroy said,”Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $998.”
The farmer said,”My Lord, didn’t anyone complain?”
Curtis said,“Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back.”
