Are you watching the Rose Bowl Parade? If you are, doesn't today seem more like New Year's Day rather than yesterday? It sure does to me. Watching the Rose Parade was one of Mom's favorite thing to do. She enjoyed it much more than the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade and I can think of several reasons why. For one, she could actually set down to watch it. Thanksgiving was all about getting ready to go to Grandma's. She was busy cooking, getting the food in the car, and making sure all five of us were dressed which left little time for parade watching. Another reason she enjoyed the Rose Parade was that she actually had seen the Rose Bowl stadium and the parade streets. She had gone with Aunt Geneva and Uncle Virgil before she married Daddy. I don't think I ever watched the parade with her without her mentioning this.
Happy, happy day everyone. Let's make the next 363 days the best ever. I love you all.
Happy New Year mom. I hope this thing will let me comment now!
