Traditions

It was a beautiful day today for the Memorial Day parade in our small town. My husband came downstairs dressed in blue jeans and a red and white striped shirt so I donned my patriotic socks and we set off with our small flags for town.

Saying hello to friends, checking out everyone’s patriotic wear (red and blue shirts, star earrings and scarves, red tights, and lots of Red Sox t-shirts and hats), clapping when the veterans march by, waving to all the kids in the parade, and dodging the flying candy are all essential aspects of the half hour parade.
