Kids like going to those festivals.
They used to have festivals all over, every little town did but lately its getting harder and harder to find these small festivals and parades
That's good you had a nice weekend.

I m surrounded by several small towns Jedi. I am a natural born city girl and when I moved to the country 20 years ago I missed the conveniences of the city but my kids loved being out here. I have grown to love it as well.
There are so many festivals and small town parades in the area. I remember being surprised at the first parade I went to when they were tossing candy to the kids along the parade route.
I was even more surprised when people were waving at me when we passed each other driving down the road. I thought they knew me...now I know they were just being friendly.

I am happy to put a smile on your face armymama. You have been so encouraging to me when I am having those sad days. I love when you check on me, it makes me feel like somebody cares about me when I am feeling lost and alone.
Thank you.

I went to church yesterday (my friend and I are church shopping) and the people there were wonderful. The sermon was ok but the songs were fantastic. Every once in awhile, a song will move me to tears...I don't even remember what the song was but I was singing at the top of my lungs and raising my eyes to the heavens...I felt like God was standing right next to me.
I actually had a wonderful weekend. I spent time with my two youngest grandsons and I can't help but feel happy when the youngest one turns that toothless little grin on me. I also either saw or spoke to all of my children this weekend.
I took my 2 year old grandson to a local festival, gave him a dollar and watched him pay for his very own yo-yo balloon. He loves that toy.
All in all, it was a great weekend. Little people are amazing at switching your focus to what really matters...

All those small towns used to always have Veterans Day and Memorial Day parades too. Some of them lost a lot of young men in the wars. They taught children respect for the national Holidays.
