Making progress...
It's New Year's day and we're watching the Rose Bowl Parade.
Jack really wanted to go to the actual parade but after we heard that there have been people camping out for a couple of days to save their spots, we decided that the chances of getting a decent view were much better if we just stay home and watch it on television.
We were absolutely right...it's wa-a-a-ay better.
Our only other experience with the Rose Parade was back in 2005 when we volunteered to work on a float. We were SO excited. It was the City of South Pasadena's float and it was called "Magical Mischief".
We were instructed to show up at the float construction site at a certain time on a certain day. We were there early with bells on...all set to put our personal touch on this amazing float. Well, nobody was there so we figured we were just early...waited about an hour and still nobody came. So we walked to a deli for coffee and a donut and then walked back. STILL nobody there...waited another hour or so and then left. We were really bummed.
We returned a couple of days later and found people working on the float but we just watched. I don't remember why we didn't ask about helping that day. Probably were just not pumped, any more.
Anyway, I knew I had taken some photos so just hunted them up out of the thousands that I have on this computer...sure enough, there they were!
You're probably thinking that I'm really stretching for something to "New Years-y" to post! You'd be right...
So Happy New Year from Jack & me. All the best to you in 2009. I've got a feeling that it's going to be a fabulous year!
