My Parade

I heard something about a big birthday/military parade in Washington, D.C. on Saturday. My birthday was yesterday and while there didn't seem to be a parade in my honor, I've been thinking about what I would like to see in my parade:

  • Cats
  • Yarn and/or knitting in some fashion
  • A float with librarians giving out books to spectators
  • Another float where people give away pieces of carrot and chocolate cake

This parade wouldn't last long so I could leave with several pieces of cake, some yarn, and a new book to go home and read on the porch. Maybe a nice cat would even follow me home.

In case you're wondering what this might look like, it could be something like this:

 
That is far better than soldiers and tanks, and you are all invited to my birthday parade with smiling cats, yarn, books, and cake!

  6. Happy Birthday, Bonny! You are just a youngun! What a fabulous parade, and yes, I would certainly attend. I have been thinking about carrot cake for months. I guess I am going to have to break down and buy some. I am not going to make myself an entire carrot cake because I would eat the whole thing in a couple of days.

  10. I'm all in on that. I could even use another cat. That might be fun (for me). Not sure Giroux would approve.

    1. Thanks, Pam! I think it's far kinder and gentler than a military parade!

    1. Thanks, Debbie! By all means, bring Abby. We'll make sure there's a place for her on the float so she doesn't have to walk too far!
