So, I was awaken at 7:30am, ummm thought I would get to sleep a little, daughter called to ask what time she should pick me up to go to the Nickel Days (which is a showcase mining days) Parade...duhhh,,, at 9:30 I told her....I guess she was just as exited as the boys...after I tidied up (hehe as usual lately) had a coffee and away we went...off to the parade...Too cute the little guys were very exited , the youngest doesn't remember last years, sooo I was all new... we had way too much fun...aftewards had to go down to the actual competition, that was really great...but a friend who came here from Saskatoon for this, (Scott) suggested I go get a hat. It was really gorgeous outside. Needless to say , I didn't and now I'm pooped. I didn't work on my quilt as I was outside all day...hehe that was a good thing.... anyhoot we will find out who actually is the "KING MINER" tomorrow, they have to talley up the scores.
