In my home town of Renton, Washington there is a yearly event in July known as Renton River Days. It's a four day town festival that includes a kid's day, parade, art show, food, vendors, music and the most famous event of all..... the Renton Rubber Ducky Derby. For $5 the Renton Rotary will sell you a numbered ticket. The number on your ticket correspondenes with a number on a rubber duck which is "set loose" in the river. The first five ducks to cross the finish line win a prize. This event is taking place TODAY! And today just happens to be CORA's birthday!! And Cora just happens to be from Renton!!! And the Rubber Ducky Derby just happens to be one of Cora's favorite events in Renton! And you may know that Cora got married last year and moved to Chicago and this is the first time ever I can't remeber her being here for her birthday and the Rubber Ducky Derby. So when I heard she didn't have a ticket, I rushed down there and got her one...
Blogger isn't letting me post the pictures I was going to share today. BOO!!! So do me a favor and go on over to Cora's blog and leave her some birthday wishes today!! Thanks!!! I'll even make is super easy for you to get there. Just click on the purple Happy Birthday Cora above.

Hey, do I know how to treat a gal, or what?
Awww, thank you so much, Callista! I was so sad when I realized we were going to have to miss the ducky derby this year. *sniff* It means a lot to me that you'd actually buy me a ticket. You're AWESOME!!!! :-)
