I Love a Parade and Other Holiday Stuff

Thanksgiving in Jville was great. We certainly missed Mariel, but we'll be seeing her in a month. In all modesty, it was the best Thanksgiving meal I've ever cooked. Mark's view of the centerpiece is worth a thousand words.

Happy Family

Friday night was the big Christmas parade downtown. Downtown is 2 blocks away. We stood at the end of our block with other townies and visitors. The parade snakes through town and passes our street just before ending. We saw fire truck after police car after emergency vehicle after floats after Santas and other holiday symbols. The parade began with 3 musketeers firing into the sky, followed by the mayor's car. I've met the mayor--he's one of our mechanics. Much candy was thrown into the crowd.

Many of the vehicles are from other nearby towns, so they exit the parade a block past Maple. The other half mile's worth of diesel-spewing trucks line up along that road, turn left and then another left. We saw the part of the parade all over again.

Turbo loves Jville and Thanksgiving. It's easier for him to walk there, and he appreciates the turkey gizzards I cook up for him.
