I am having a rather rough time these days. I put my crutches aside on Saturday. It went fairly well, but I clearly need my appointments with orthopedics next week and month. And a few other appointments as well, but I must not go on about my physical ailments. It is so tiresome, although I understand it can be typical of women my age. Oh, how I hate to be typical!
I prefer to be colorful.
I quickly throw in an unexpected photograph. Who could be uncheered by a drag queen? Not me, I feel better already. I really do not have much to blog about currently. Last night I covered the Ilion Village Board meeting. While there, a trustee asked me was I going to cover the DooDah Parade on Friday. I emailed my editor at the Daily Sentinel and asked if she wanted me to. I did last year.
A shot from last year’s DooDah Parade.
I hitched a ride on a float of one of the American Legions. This is a picture I took from it as the parade started. It was a lot of fun.
And who doesn’t love a classic car?
Last year’s parade was notable because the Grand Marshal was an exchange student who returned for the 50th Class Reunion. I got a picture of him in the fancy car loaned for the occasion. I do not even know what this year’s DooDah theme is. Ilion Days had completely dropped off my radar, due to my health problems (oh dear, I mustn’t get back on those again!).
At any rate, I am over 250 words. I can bill this as a Tired Tuesday post and drive on. We shall see what the rest of the week will bring!
