As I unwinded from a hectic week last week in Sioux Falls, I watched the Miss Universe pageant on NBC. I had nostalgic feelings when it came down to top five finalists for Miss Universe… (Miss USA was the 4th runner up-FYI) while Miss Puerto Rico won the crown.

After the program concluded, I chuckled to myself. Here I am, a farmer’s daughter, sharing the same sensation that Miss Universe had the moment she was crowned. At the end of the program, they announced that Miss Teen America pageant will be held at Palm Springs, California…just like the NAD Miss Deaf America Pageant!

Something to say?
