everybody loves a parade

I walked down to the Memorial Day parade in downtown Westfield this morning. It's a spectacular day out, perfect for a parade!

It had a small-town feel, and everyone clapped for the veterans, police, and fire department, as well as all the school bands, and even the local politicians.

And, of course, a fire truck bringing up the rear:

A couple of A10s from Barnes flew over a few times (I can still hear them now, as a matter of fact). It was a nice tribute to those who serve their country. Thanks, folks!

Oh, okay, maybe that's why we saw two similar planes this afternoon, as we were driving west on Rt 9 (east of Worcester) going to see HJ... they must have been doing the parade circuit!

Parades are such fun. I'm really sorry we can't go to the Brattleboro cow parade next weekend because we'll be on retreat. Next year we've got to get the retreat on a different weekend if possible; this year it was a case of the only time the site had room for us.

Ah, I was wondering about that!
