I have been lounged on my couch doing not much of anything today and remembered I did not make a blog post yet. I went to the DooDah Parade in Ilion, NY and had a fine time. Alas, I lack stamina and resiliency, but let us not dwell on my petty problems, let us talk about the parade. For anybody just tuning in, it is one of the grand events of a week of Ilion Days Festivities.
Yay! Ilion Little Theatre!
As I walked around talking to people and taking pictures, I was delighted to see some of my friends from Ilion Little Theatre. I think I mentioned in a previous post that the club had not participated in recent years, so I was happy to see them back. They even invited me to ride on the float with them. In fact, I had a few offers.
I loved it!
I foolishly did not make a note of whose this float was, but I complimented the man driving the pick-up truck towing it. I told him about the yard in Potsdam that has a large number of toilets planted with real flowers. I saw it once in person, but unfortunately only in passing. Perhaps a road trip up North is indicated.
He was a friendly guy!
You can’t really see his cape in this picture. He told me he was a combination of Superman and Wonder Woman. It just goes to show you, anything goes at the DooDah Parade!
I’m afraid I spent too much time walking up and down, chatting and having a good time. My back, knee, and hip are not thanking me for it today. I wonder if I should change the name of my blog to Mohawk Valley Old Lady. Hmmm… doesn’t have a ring to it.
