A day spent...
~honoring our hometown heroes
~remembering the past
~tapping our toes to the marching band
~standing, hats removed and hands over hearts, as the flag passes by
~cheering and clapping as our kids lead their llamas in the parade
~adoring the next generation
"Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier.
We do not have to become heroes over night. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing
that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared,
discovering we have the strength to stare it down."

Do you spin the llamas fleece? Great photo's!
ReplyDeleteGinny, that's next on my wish list! I have two old spinning wheels...but they may be a bit too old to really work well. You've inspired me...I think I'll dust them off and tinker with them this weekend, thanks! -Mary
ReplyDeleteI love that your town does this! We don;t have a Memorial Day Parade, but do have a large Veteran's Day one. So important, I think.
ReplyDeleteI agree...it's so good for the kids and adults to pause and remember.
