Gretta, Eliza and I went to the Bloosomtime Parade on Saturday. What is missing in big cities is the feeling you get from participating in a home town parade. I sure do miss the Rose Parade, but it's not the same feeling of home town pride or patriotism you feel in a small town. The girls enjoyed waving their American Flags, saluting the WWII Vets who rode on a float, and watching the Shriners drive their go-karts down the street. What's going to happen in American when all of the Shriners, Lions, and Kiwanis clubs die off because our generation is to "me" focused to join service organizations?
The highlights of course is the High School Marching bands and the Blossomtime Queens and Princesses.
We had a great time.
