Good morning from Collegeville,

The students are back on campus.  The newly remodeled “Refrectory” is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The ham dinner on Monday was one of the best I have ever had.  You should really come out for lunch sometime.  They accept cash.  Come about one o’clock and you will miss the long line.  I got busted for butting in.  It is hard being a recovering jerk.

A suggestion from my son, is to check with your local school about their need for supplies.  Here is a list of what a kindergartner needs:

Tennis  Shoes for Phy Ed. , Resting Towel  , 10- Elmers LARGE glue sticks  , School Bag/Back Pack,   Kleenex- Large Box   , Crayola washable markers- Package of 8, Crayola Crayons 1 box of 8, 1 box of 16 & 1 box of 24…

Here’s what a 6th grader needs…

2 three subject notebooks,  2 pocket folders,  2 erasers,  48 #2 pencils,  pencil pouch,   2-colored pencil set,  1- 24pk of crayons,   Wide tip/fine tip markers,   2-red pens for correcting ,  2 full size boxes of Kleenex, scissors ,  4-dry erase markers (Low ODOR ONLY) ,  12″ ruler-metric & standard,   2 Large Glue Sticks ,  2 4oz Elmers glue ,   clean old sock for white boards   Optional: Disenfectant wipes and pencil sharpener

 “Now before you ask if they really need all this stuff, isn’t it sad that we, as a nation of plenty, struggle to equip our kids with scissors and pencils and glue…. for school?

 As Bernie Roberts of Edward Jones in Brainerd says, the next time your sitting at your desk, struggling thru your day, stop what you’re doing, stand up, walk out of your office and go do something for somebody else, a complete stranger if possible, without giving a second thought as to who gets the credit… try it, you may like it… I know the other person will. “    Erik J. Osberg

 The show this week is the last of the re-broadcasts.  This week the show is devoted to our four-legged friends: our pets.  You will hear a few tunes form the trusty Bertha’s Kitty Boutique Songbook, including “Cat You’d Better Come Home”,  Stephanie Davis sings “Goodnight Little Cowpup and Greg Brown sings “Like a Dog” .  Enjoy the show.
