Miss Minnesota

 Miss Minnesota lives just down the road from us.  She is a very bubbly, happy down to earth Minnesota NICE gal. 

Tonight is the Miss America pageant.  We will be watching and keeping our fingers and toes crossed for Emma.  You can watch on the Miss America channel on You tube or at Pageant Vision.

I have been watching the Miss America evening gown and the talent competition with she who sees robins first and other family members.  It has been great fun!  Emma wore a beautiful pink and silver gown for the evening gown competition and for her talent she sang California Dreamin'.   I thought she sang better than many of the contestants!  

Minnesota weather yesterday: High 57F or 14C Low was 37F or 3C.  It was a tad chilly in the morning and it rained a bit. 

We went out for lupper at our favorite Mexican place that will only be open a few more weeks.

News from home

 There was a storm through Minnesota on Friday night, many people are without electricity. Luckily our home in the woods is okay. Grandgirls Savannah and Paige both had trees down…in fact a tree blocked Savannahs door. My sister has no electricity and my friend Susie has no electricity either. It will be a number of days before electricity is restored. The weather people are calling it a hurricane.

Neighbor  Leah sent me a photo of the Flax field blooming across from our driveway! I wish I could have seen it, maybe next year!

Such a beautiful sight to see! 

In other news, Miss Minnesota was crowned…and she is the beautiful Emma who lives near us and just so happens to be dating our great nephew Mason! You can check out the Miss Minnesota Facebook page to see a photo.  She is a nursing student and her platform is Water Safety Knowledge which is perfect for all the lakes we have in Minnesota.  Onward to Miss America..wouldn’t that be something!  Just so you know she is as beautiful on the inside as outside.
