We are off to the illustrious Fargodome today on a business and family trip! Hurrah!
When we were driving through North Dakota a few years ago (while I was still teaching my multigrain class--as I refer to my diverse group, you know, as opposed to whitebread?), we stopped for a meal at the Cracker Barrel and I was shocked to see a disclaimer that they welcome all races without discrimination at the door. I wasn't sure why they needed such a sign until we sat down to eat, and the place was filled to the brim with elderly white couples settling down for lunch. Then I got it...Oh! The Cracker--Barrel! It made me laugh--I hadn't seen such a homogeneous crew in a very long time. Now it has been awhile since I have seen much else!
That is one of the reasons I love our country. We are different, but all a part of one nation.

I love it.. "multigrain"! Sounds like my middle school kiddos- who knew you could actually have 13 languages in one class?! Certainly different than "up north" - good thing smiles and music are the universal language ;) ~April
