THE TRUTH ABOUT MINNESOTA, USA

Did you know Minnesota is melting?
Minnesota .... the land of over 10,000 lakes and billions of mosquitoes!
The Loon is Minnesota's state bird and we Minnesotans are kind of "loony."
Minnesotan are proud of their prominent citizens, Ole, Lena, Sven and Inga. Uffda!
Minnesota's capital city is St. Paul, but it was stolen away from St. Peter.
The population is a little over 4,000,000 with lots of Scandinavians...Ya, you betcha!.
Minnesota is the land of two seasons: winter and road repair. Uffda!! Check out the diary written by one resident. We actually do have four seasons: (1i) Winter, (2) Still winter, (3) Not winter yet, and (4) Almost winter.
Minnesotans celebrate syttende mai on July 4
According to some, Minnesota is the LEFSE capital of North America (We are trying for number 1 in the world). Det stemmer! That's right!

CHUCKLES AND GIGGLES.

Do you know any Ole and Lena jokes? Send them to me if you do. I'll post them on my Scandinavian Humor pagee for everyone to enjoy.I've updated that page so there are now two pages of Scandinavian jokes.
Email: dpeterson@ci.k12.mn.us

I heard that Ole doesn't like lutefisk. He says they have much better fish than lutefisk in Norway. Well, in Minnesota we do, too! Sorry, Mom!

Lefse! Ole og jeg liker godt lefse!

Did you hear about Ole and Sven?

You see, Ole and Sven found a bottle with a genie in it. The genie was so happy to get out of the bottle that he said he'd grant Ole and Sven a wish for anything they wanted. Ole said to the genie, "But wait, I thought genies granted 3 wishes." The genie replied, "No, I can only grant one wish."

So Ole and Sven, they got their heads together and decided they wanted a road built from Minnesota to Norway so they could visit their relatives once in awhile. Well, the genie scratched his head and said to Ole and Sven, "That's a hard one. I've been in this bottle for so long, that I don't think I can remember how to make a road. Could you pick an easier wish?"

Well, Ole and Sven got their heads together again and finally they said to the genie, "Vel, den, if ya can't make a road to Norway for us, den make us beautiful."

The genie looked at Ole and Sven and quickly replied, "Which do you want, a single lane or a double lane?"

If you like jokes,

here's more Scandinavian humor for you.

Norwegian Wishes (Norske Ønsker)...

May the ruts fit your car,

May your earmuffs keep out the wind.

May the sun shine on your lefse,

May the rain fall soft on your lutefisk.

Until we meet again, May God protect you from unnecessary uff-das!

Footprints in the Sand

Scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each, I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints;
other times there was only one.
During the low periods of my life, I could see
only one set of footprints, so I said,
"You promised me, Lord, that you would walk with me always.
Why, when I have needed you most, have you not been there for me?"
The Lord replied, "The times when you have seen
only one set of footprints, my child, is when I carried you."

Psalms 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; Thy rod and
thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence
of mine enemies: thou annointest my head
with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life: and I will
dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
