Our town had its annual Memorial Day Parade yesterday. We'd taken the kiddos once before but they enjoyed it more this time.
Buddy loved the bands, which were thankfully at the beginning. I took pictures of as many instruments as I could, particularly the tuba and the saxophones, his favorites.
Sis was much more interested in the candy various organizations threw out. Mama helped her snag a bunch.
We had planned to meet up with friends and found them quickly all spread out in the shade. We joined them and were soon picnicking on the blankets. One of the husbands is in the Army, but not deployed right now. Though we didn't really talk about it, the whole parade, the whole day, was more meaningful to me now that I know someone in the services.
We looked up and our whole street of neighbors were in front of us! And seeing we were unprepared, they gave us baggies for the candy.
And then, lo and behold, the lesbians and their twins who used to go to our church were sitting next to them.
It really is a small world sometimes.
Especially when you're in a small town.
