I confess to watching the Miss America pageant tonight. Afterall, it is a scholarship program and I am all for giving away money that reduces the cost of higher education. I also confess to eating a rather large bowl of ice cream while I watched the pageant. (As Mark would say, "a Hutchinson-sized serving of ice cream.") Anyway, here's a shout-out to Miss Indiana! Way to go! My family in Pennsylvania called at the end of the pageant, well, my Dad specifically, and wanted to know if we knew the new Miss America -- crack me up! : ) Nope, don't know her, Dad.
Turns out that Miss Indiana wasn't the only one on stage winning prizes this evening!
My parents also called to tell us about their stage debut in Chambersburg, PA tonight. They are spending the weekend at my sister's house with Heidi and her family. Brandon and Andrew were in a children's choir tonight, part of some kind of community theater event, and from all reports, both boys did an excellent job! During one of the intermissions, Mom and Dad were selected from the audience to participate in charades! The theme was 'body parts.' (I know! Could be bad!) My Mom had to get my Dad to say the word "vein" -- which she did. And then my Dad had to get my Mom to say the word "tastebuds" only he was allowed to use words instead of acting it out. So he said "flavor" and my Mom said "taste." Off to a good start! And then this next part cracks me up ... Dad said "Wilbur" and my Mom replied "buds!" (Insert laughter here from my PA friends and all those who know what Wilbur Buds are!!) Very clever, Dad! Too smart, Mom!! And congrats on your Harrisburg prize package!
***Wilbur Buds are little chocolates made in my family's hometown of Lititz, PA. They look like Hershey kisses but taste waaayyyyy better! Wilbur Chocolate actually is older than Hershey's.
