Folks,

We arrived back in Cebu on Tuesday night, August 6th. We had a wonderful trip back to the states. It was without a doubt one of the most fun and memorable times we have ever had with our visits back to the Dunseith/Bottineau area. We saw a lot of folks this time around, many of whom we/I had not seen for many years. We saw a lot of new faces too, that up until now we had only communicated with via email and/or the daily blogs.

We were in ND for exactly 4 weeks. With Bernadette’s condition we cut our time short by a week. As it turned out if was a good call. The day we were leaving she was going into another spell. Luckily the full affects did not hit her until the next day after we arrived back home in Cebu. She is better now, but not back to where she was when we were back in the states.

Two days before we arrived back in Cebu they had a really bad electrical storm that knocked out our Telephone and Internet service. They just got us back on line this afternoon, Tuesday, August 13th. Without internet service I was unable to post the blog.

I took a lot of pictures many of which I will be posting in the days to come.

Now that I have internet service back on line, I have a lot of catching up to do with the different groups I communicate with. Most urgent was the posting of our Cebu Expat dinner for this month.

I do have a lot more stuff to post but this is all for today. As the days go on, I will get caught up.

This is an old picture that Keith has. I believe one of the guys is his dad, Corbin. The rest he does not know.

Keith, it was such a pleasure seeing and visiting with you at the reunion too. I am so glad that you made the effort to attend. I thought you had disappeared before I had a chance to introduce you to Bernadette, but you came back. A lot of folks do not realize that you and I are nearly first cousins too. Your dad and my mother’s sister Luella were married for about a year before she died in 1944 at San Haven.

Thank you Karen Larson (Bottineau Spectrum) for scanning and sending these picture of Keith’s to me. Whether you realize it or not, for all the things you do for so many folks, you are a god send.

Please reply if any of you recognize any of the folks in this picture.
