Ok, so out community's big weekend is over for another year. The pageant went fine. There were three girls and all of them are nice. Our daughter that lives in Hibbing came down Friday for the weekend , but had to leave early on Sunday morning.We decided to go to church on Saturday instead of Sunday and then go down town to eat. Our youngest son was with us also. Sunday was the parade and my husband drives the foreign exchange students through in his '48 red Dodge pickup. We have hosted 7 exchange students over the years. Alair and I decided to ride with him. It had rained a lot, so when the sun came out it was really warm and humid. It's always fun though.

We finally got all our paper work done to host an exchange teacher from Thailand starting in August. The first time we will have a teacher. She's Buddist, so that will be interesting. We hosted a wonderful girl from Turkey a while back and she was Muslim. The student we hosted fromIceland is coming to visit in July. She made many friends here and has been back several times. We enjoy learning about different culturees and meeting new people.
