I didn't think I was going to be able to link up today, but I made it with only an hour to spare :)<br />I agree with your observations about parades, today. It's all about the candy, unfortunately. Such greed and disrespect saddens me.<br />I see that your hubby has decided to grow a beard in his days of retirement. Ed's gone to shaving every other night :)<br />BTW, Brad and Jennifer's house is under contract! The closing is set for July 1.

And can I ask, did you plan to wear a gold sweater and blue jeans to match the scenery when fly fishing? I noticed it right away! LOL. I'm totally with you on the respect issue. A little candy at a parade is one thing, but making it a moving Halloween convoy is totally another. Sheesh.

I haven't seen a town parade in years! I love fishing, very relaxing for me. Yes setting things aside for a trip is something I seem to do in advance too. The further away I travel or the longer I'll be gone on the trip the sooner I start that gathering. Sounds like you had a really nice weekend.

We have the Eau Claire Express only 45 minutes from us. The PR group does a wonderful job with games and just a bunch of fun stuff in between innings. <br />I also enjoy listening to the Milwaukee Brewers on the radio. :-)<br />Carla from The Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107829617899979937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-55578480829184278812015-05-27T09:06:50.995-04:002015-05-27T09:06:50.995-04:00Riding in a car would be the best way to be in a p...Riding in a car would be the best way to be in a parade for me. I agree with you about the kids at a parade. I always get so filled with pride when I see the vets, I get teary-eyed. And the older vets are so thrilled when the kids salute or wave to them. Is it really so hard to do?! Thanks for another great week at the Hodgepodge :)Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09807434285554893291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-61889653026892525272015-05-27T09:00:02.464-04:002015-05-27T09:00:02.464-04:00In our town, the candy is no longer a part of the ...In our town, the candy is no longer a part of the parade. The city fathers felt it was too dangerous with the kids running out into the street. So now they do enjoy what is on the parade venue. Great comments on the hodge podge today.

We have a July 4th parade, sponsored for many years by my local sorority, and we don't allow candy or politicians. :) It's my favorite parade, and all the children participate on their bikes, trikes, scooters, etc. At the end they are given juice and a piece of fruit. Thanks for the HP! Hope the packing is going well. :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05416599502316058614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-21784989876762578122015-05-27T08:55:30.678-04:002015-05-27T08:55:30.678-04:00How fun to drive your hubby's sporty red car i...How fun to drive your hubby's sporty red car in the parade! One of my best friends from HS had a car like that and we used to put the top down and go cruisin' on Friday nights. I'm in agreement...nothing better than a ballpark hot dog!

Our town does two parades a year and it seems like it is about that to the kids. I think you said it correctly, when you step out of where you live and see how the other side lives, maybe then we cn only appreciate what we have here. Hot dogs, I'm with you there. We have one a year, Hofffmann's Snappys. In honor of our roots of living in NY and the famous Hoffmann hot dog stand that still is up and running. We finally can buy them here in North Carolina. Thanks for another great Hodgepodge this week.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18035008312943297731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-89350227034731974862015-05-27T01:45:40.406-04:002015-05-27T01:45:40.406-04:00Hi Joyce!

Speaking of hot dogs, if you are ever in L.A. you should go to a Dodger game and try their hot dogs! It's worth it, I haven't had one in a really long time. Well I hope you had a great weekend!
