Swift Current Pancakes

You betcha! Fur sure! Oh, yeah! Eh? or is it Ay?
These are the verbal habit lines used by the folks up here. It only takes a day to start picking up these lines and the light accent. It's kind of a Wi-MN accent with the lower Midwest slowness and a touch all their own. And we are beginning to speak that way, for sure!

Since the day is very young at this posting I haven't much to write but I have 5 pictures from the morning. The first is of Nick, our sound guy, walking Belle. You must understand, Nick is the manly, cowboy, soldier, hunter, camper type. Not a poodle walker type. So for his family to enjoy here it is.



James, Cynthia, and Miles did strolling acts downtown at the city's pancake b-fast. (It's part of the fair.) Here they pose for you.
Perky Penguin to the rescue!

Perky and the Credit Union who sponsored the B-fast's mascot....not sure what it is; maybe a tiger?
Later on Miles changed into a Pink Gorilla riding a clown bike. He drew lots of attention.

The line for the pancakes went down the street and around one corner. It was amazing how many people showed up. Especially when you realize how small this town is.
I will continue this blog tonight after the main shows.

BTW as I type this can you guess where the kids are? I will give you a hint...there is a pool at this hotel. BTW the pool seems to use a chlorine-salt hybrid to hygenize the pool. It's kinda like a less salty version of the ocean.
