About Me

My photo
Babs
Some people think I'm boring but if they really knew me, they'd know there's a party happening everyday inside. I'm experiencing life and learning how to live, trying to reach out to others, a step or two beyond. I'm not too old that I cannot learn, I am a student. I'm from a generation who had to use their imagination, we didn't have gadgets like today but since we do my imagination and gadgets are like new best friends.....

Parades

There were parades every Memorial Day, to honor our men that were brave, for the ones that made it back and the ones that didn't. Parades for Labor Day, Halloween, Christmas and just about any other holiday were a big deal in my town. Going to the Park later for a picnic and a swim at the pool was something to be yearned for but is filed safely back in the section of Heartfelt memories. Fried Chicken, Baked Beans, Potato Salad were a part of our treasured times, hearing the carousel and smelling the the cotton candy, and the lines never seem to cease when you're so thirsty for the lime soda at the concession stand, that looks straight out of "Life with Father".
I wake up and my memories are filed and I look out the window and see the litter, the lack of Norman, hear the rude obnoxious base pulsating off my windows and wonder what is so good about all of this. I walk back to the file and I pull it out once again and I 'm reminded of a time when just a parade was passing us by.
