Little Norway parade

I have a cold and therefore not feeling well. With various visitors, church and family, in and out this week, I've been distracted from my usual routines. All these little things have added up to a rather miserable, grumpy day. And so here I sit, nearly 11 p.m., posting photos and this blog post when I should be working on tomorrow's sermon and possibly the bulletin. However, all these distractions and the rather grumpy mood makes it difficult to concentrate. It looks like the church service tomorrow will be similar to last Sabbath: semi-impromptu and hoping nothing goes terribly awry.

Today was the first full day of the Little Norway celebrations. The main event today was the parade followed by the herring toss. Both of our girls were part of the Leikarring dancers winding their way through Main Street. The weather forecast originally said 100% chance of rain today. It did rain during the early part of the morning, but by afternoon it was just overcast. The rain stayed away and the sun even tried for a brief moment to break through.
