My Kind of Teacher

My kind of teacher (I'm still laughing!) This one is dedicated to all my friends who ever taught school, parented children or served their country. A former Sergeant, having served his time with the Marine Corps, took a new job as a school teacher, but just before the school year started, he injured his back. He was required to wear a plaster cast around the upper part of his body.  Fortunately, the cast fit under his shirt and wasn't noticeable. On the first day of class, he found himself assigned to the toughest students in the school. The punks, having already heard the new teacher was a former Marine, were leery of him and decided to see how tough he really was before trying any pranks.   Walking confidently into the rowdy classroom, the new teacher opened the window wide and sat down at his desk. When a strong breeze made his tie flap, he picked up a stapler and promptly stapled the tie to his chest. There was dead silence.  He had no trouble with discipline that year. &&&&&&&& Now here's a cupcake full of kids. The only grand child missing is Kyle and at 19 he has a job and works so no trip to NY for him this year...miss him big time. However, having the younger grand kids, son, dau-in-law, son-in-law and dau here for a week was absolutely wonderful.  We began this adventure by camping in cabins at Old Forge and the next day, it was Water Safari all day and it was just plain ass fun. Here is a photo of the entire crew -- now, you gotta realize getting everyone to sit still, smile and look at the camera is a trick very few can master and this is the best shot: Sadly the Minnesota crew headed back today and my house is so damn quiet I'm thinking of talking to myself.  Wait, I all ready do that -- okay, talk louder or turn on some music, eh?  Clint is still sleeping but once he wakes up he will want to see his cousins and will be irked that they are no longer here.  He had a blast with them and of course,being the youngest, they loved him too. Hope everyone is having a great summer?
