A Great Bit of Community Spirit

As I write  this, the kids should be getting out of school early. The reason? Rose Festival Junior Parade.

Portland Public Schools lets  kids out early  to attend the parade, which runs down Sandy Blvd from 5Oth to 4Oth.

From our new house, It's a short trip eight block to the parade route. C makes sure to let the kids to participate.

I'm not able to go; I'm at work. It's great that C can make time to go. What a great sense of community this experience  fosters. It was one thing when the trip to the parade involved an eleven mile drive home after; it means something else when its right in our neighborhood, within walking distance.


Thanks for making sure the Kids get to go, C. I appreciate it; I'm sure the kids are thankful, too.
