More Parade Photos
We were there to see our Grand daughter Zoe in the All City Band (great band). They are always last on the program so we enjoy the rest of the parade while waiting for the band. It is all enjoyable.
I was very impressed with the woman who was pregnant. A real princess!

CHINATOWN Parade
Liz has some great photos of parade on Face Book. I tried to choose different ones.
I enjoyed watching people watching..I'm posting my favorites...the lady and her dog...and the two little girls with matching outfits who should've been in the parade. Also featured is the clown who took my seat!
Enjoy!

Fascinating...yet scary.
Since I am allergic to the sting of a bee, I try to keep my distance. While we were taking a photo of an osprey feeding her baby, a very nice woman from Astoria pointed out this large nest.

Love the view!
I seem to see more wildlife from our kitchen window than on our camping trips.
This morning I saw a woodpecker on top of the birdhouse, got my camera, as I'm searching for the bird, I see movement in the bushes...a deer went running across the yard. There had to be more than one as the movement I saw first was in front of the visible deer.
I also have a view of squirrel sitting on the head of St. Francis...and rabbits. I haven't decided who runs faster...squirrel or rabbit. One squirrel chasing another up a tree is fun to watch and pretty crazy!
Time to continue packing up for our camping trip. Maybe I'll get lucky and see a bear.
Steve and Svetlana had a bear cross the trail in front of them as they hiked to Hurricane Hill.
They also saw a huge marmot (always fun to see).
Steve said when they visited the Lavender Farm Svetlana said, " I'm in heaven!"

On the Lighter Side...... Memories of Greg Carroll
I am still sad and in denial that Greg is gone.
I wrote something on his timeline, but want to share a happy memory.
When we were in France with St.James Choir..it was very difficult to find a restroom...so we entered a bakery that would allow you to use the facility. We felt it was only fair to purchase something.
Joe & I chose a pastry and after she gave it to us we asked for a dish. The sales women ignored us and let us stand there with this pastry dripping all over us!
Then, Greg walked in carrying his choir robe on one arm, he spoke to us and immediately the woman understood English, gave us a dish, and began to sing Panis Angelicus.
