Have some weed whacking to do, then I have to power wash the front porch. The annual Memorial Day Parade is this Saturday, and our front porch is usually packed with guests, because we're right in the center of all the festivities. We live in a pre Civil War village with a population of close to 50, but a Memorial Day Parade has been held here for the last 137 years, and hundreds of people come from all over the county. The town used to be much larger, but a fire in 1941 destroyed the entire town & all its businesses, except for four houses. Our house & three others right in the center of town.
The parade consists of local interest stuff, like the jr. high school band, some veteran's groups, fire trucks, tractors, people walking their dogs, etc. Even though the parade lasts about 20 or 30 minutes, max, the back road through the village is lined both sides with people from one end of town to the other.
Anyway, I better get started.
