What I learned in school today
Mrsgunka sent us this joke. Thank you, MrsG.
A kindergarten class was given a homework assignment to find out something exciting and relate it to the class the next day.
When the time came to present what they'd found, the first little boy the teacher called on walked up to the front of the class. He picked up a piece of chalk, made a small white dot on the blackboard and sat back down.
Puzzled, the teacher asked him what it was.
"It's a period," he replied.
"I can see that," said the teacher, "but what is so exciting about a period?"
"Darned if I know," said the boy, "but yesterday my sister was missing one, Mom fainted, Dad had a heart attack, and the boy next door joined the Navy."

Seven years in France
Today is the 7th anniversary of our move to France. Here are some pictures of various places in lovely Correze, taken over the years. We're very lucky to live in such a beautiful part of France. Enjoy!

I'm sorry, but blonde jokes are funny...
View sent us this joke. Thank you, View.
A young ventriloquist is touring Sweden and, one night, he's doing a show in a small fishing town. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blonde jokes.
Suddenly, a blonde woman in the fourth row stands on her chair and starts shouting, "I've heard enough of your stupid blonde jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype Swedish blond women that way? What does the color of a woman's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's men like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as people. Its people like you that make others think that all Blondes are dumb! You and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blondes, but women in general ... pathetically all in the name of humor!"
The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blonde yells: "You stay out of this! I'm talking to that little sh*t on your lap."
