Wednesday, August 6 - Saturday, found Marsha and Angie attending the Hall of Fame Parade. This is actually one of the largest parades in the country. They enjoyed the morning. Paul and Rick stayed home to do a little “5th wheel job” which you'll read about in a future blog.
There were bands.

Marsha said it was the best Hall of Fame parade she has seen in awhile.
Saturday night was “off to the races” without leaving home. We had nine family and friends over to gather around the kitchen table and play the horse racing game that the gang made (Actually, we made 49 sets.) several years ago down in the Rio Grande Valley over the winter. That was a fun night enjoyed by all.
After church Sunday, Angie and Rick headed toward Chicago to spend several days with other “Winter Texan” friends. We had a nice visit and will seem them in October when we spend several weeks in Mission, TX.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!
That was a great parade! I love parades...John, not so much. As matter of fact, he can't stand them:) I've never seen a parade with balloons except the big TV parades. Very cool! I do believe you had more fun than the guys:) Glad you had a nice visit with your friends.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun parade. Jim would have stayed home, too.
ReplyDeleteDid I read that right? The girls played, while the guys stayed home and worked. How fair is that?
ReplyDeleteI love parades but the last few didn't even have bands playing.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful parade glad you had a good time!
ReplyDeleteParades are always fun, so glad it was a good one. I love the picture of the horses, they are absolutely beautiful!

Looks like a fun day, can't wait for a report on the 5er day.
ReplyDeleteWe have enjoyed many a small-town parade in our travels. This one looked to be very fun.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fantastic parade with many "big" name folks participating!!!! Sounds like "off to the races" was a fun event for all. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have not been to hometown parades in a very very long time. Its good to watch it from your view and comfort of my chair.
