Parade

It was quite hot, humid, and sunny yesterday, perfect for heat stroke and car breakdowns in the annual Lebanon 4rth of July Parade. Hunter and Thatch marched, Jim helped push, Paige Peterson has had it with the blaring fire engines, and last but not least we are treated to the sight of a dummy patient on this old jeep. There was quite an increase in military vehicles, as well as each town or township having a new" command incident " truck. This brought the total to well over 75 blaring, obnoxious yahoooooooo driven vehicles. God, why do I keep going to this thing? The best participant was the 102 year old woman who was driven by in a little car with a sign on the door saying "102 years young". Thats it, all she had to do to be in the parade was to be alive. Afterward we had a picnic at our house and the daily rain held off until 4:00 pm.
