Bohemia Mining Days

There are many things I really like about living in a small town, particularly Cottage Grove. It's beautiful! , friendly, everyone knows your kids and keeps you informed on what they're doing (the kids don't like it, but too bad), no cars go by my house with boom boxes going shaking the windows, I feel safe walking down the street. One of the best things is the parade for Bohemia mining days. Very small town and the street is lined with people watching it. Even the circus coming to town next month had their floats in.

The lion was trained to lay down and not make a sound!
Elmo was there. Lucy ran out and hugged him. She remembered him from Sacramento! Notice a Walgreens is being built!

The high school marching band didn't play because they are on summer break (they're unionized). Luckily we have an old timers marching band and they are great!

Cottage Grove is a great place to retire. Rosie and several of her friends are here.
I wanted to ride in the wagon.
And you thought only San Fransisco was known for their bath houses :)



The mine actually has an interesting history. Lucy and I are hoping to go up for the pancake breakfast in the morning, but I'm not sure how to get there!
