On the sixth day God turned to the Archangel Gabriel and said: 'Today, I am
going to create a land called Minnesota.
It will be a land of outstanding natural beauty; a land of 10,000 beautiful
lakes, each one full of fish.
It shall have tall majestic pines, peacefully flowing rivers, landscapes
full of buffalo, tall grass, and eagles, beautiful blue skies, forests
full of bear, elk and moose, and rich farmland.'
God continued, I shall make the land rich in resources so as to make the
inhabitants prosper and they shall be known as a most friendly people,
people who practice being Minnesota Nice every day.'
But Lord,' asked Gabriel, 'don't you think you are being too generous to
these Minnesotans?'
'Not really,' replied God. 'Just wait and see the winters I am going to give them.'
AND NOW YOU KNOW!
My Dad posted this on our family page and all I had to ask was how the winter was going so far and got grounded.
