Have you missed me? Technology and I haven’t been seeing eye to eye lately! It all started last month when my ten-year-old computer went to computer heaven. I was only able to produce one blog in the month of July, when I normally am a two-blog blogger. My fingers have been chomping for a functioning keyboard, but sadly the fingers have had nothing to plunk on. When one’s computer gives up the ghost no blog writing can get done. So,…..

Their parents were off soaking up the sun in Jamaica while the grandparents held the fort down in the north country……

Well my hometown of Clinton, MN is one county south of where I presently live and I did teach school at Herman High School one county east so I guess I am well known in a three county area. But for twenty years I did travel…..
