Parade events

Today our town had its annual Blossom Parade. There was supposed to be a surprise between the pre-parade and the main parade. The only thing I figure was a surprise were the four monstrously big Texas Longhorns. They were being ridden just like horses, but moved a lot slower. They were huge with really long horns. Also in the parade this year was a herd of about 7 sheep which was being herded down the street by a border collie and a man, mostly by the border collie. When the sheep would ease off toward the side, the dog would gather them back into the middle of the road. Cool!

Last year my sister and I were next to a lady who suddenly fell forward and smacked her face on the sidewalk. She was having a seizure. Fortunately, the ambulance was just around the corner and they were there in about a minute after the call. The lady had so much blood coming out of her mouth and nose that I just knew she'd broken her nose and busted out her teeth. I saw her a couple of days later at her work place and she was fine. All that blood came from busted lips and a bite on her tongue. Not so cool!

Was it warm enough?

Longhorn are not fun! Kay, don't you remember when a bunch of them tried to kill us in our yard when we were kids?? They have horns-that are long!

Kay: it was a little windy but not bad. Julie: those longhorns were nothing compared to these today. These were HUGE!

Oh, I do remember those attacking longhorn. But I am much older and braver now.
Also, these ones had people riding them. They had to be accountable.

Julie said...

accountable long horn cattle. Yeah, I guess that could work.
