What's the fuss?

What could possibly be causing all the commotion on my street today? Is there a fire somewhere?


Why no, it's the annual fair parade. It goes right by my house. Of course there were marching bands.




Not everyone can say that a smurf rode by their house on horseback and waved at them.


I'm going to work at 4:30 tomorrow morning so it's an early night for me. I may not get around to visiting all of you until tomorrow.

    Oh my goodness I loved that - we used to have the same thing happen to us when we lived up north - it was so much fun!

    Everything is so red and cheerful! Well, of course the smurfs are blue and cheerful! Hope you get plenty of sleep tonight, 4:30am will come pretty quick! Wait a minute, tomorrow is Sunday, race day no less. Working should be forbidden!

    How neat they come right by your house! Riding backwards on a horse looks really uncomfortable!

    Everything is red, what is the significance of that? Great shots! The poor little horse is wearing a hat that blinds him!

    Time for the fairs. Fairs mean a lot of people. Hence forth a lot of donuts have to be made. Sorry Ann.At least it is neat that you get to watch the parade right from your house.

    At least you-all are smart enough to hold your fair during a time when the weather might be more tolerable. The average temperature was around 102 when we had ours last month.

    How great to have a parade come right by your house. You don't even have to take off your slippers to watch.
