From America's Home Town...where the first Thanksgiving took place. Yesterday I attended our annual Thanksgiving Parade. A comment was made on some program that the parade in Plymouth Ma. is the 2nd biggest Thanksgiving Parade in America....Macy's being the #1 parade. What we want to know how many other Thanksgiving Parades take place across America??  I'll bet we are the only 2. Too funny. I attended the parade with my daughter Karen mostly because my great-grandaughter Emily was in the High School marchin band. It was very cold and we left early for the parade so we'd get a good place to view it all. We waited for 2 hours for it to come by us and it was a superb parade indeed. We had everything from Pilgrims and Indians to Schotchmen bands complete with Kiltes...brrrr. Actually 2 of those bands. All kinds of floats and all. Bands from Boston came (40 miles to the north of us) complete with policemen walking the crowd with sniffer dogs.. wouldn't want to mess with those guys or dogs. I spent about 3 1/2 hours all told in the cold and wind all dressed up like an Eskimo. It was worth it though. Like the doorway to Christmas...we don't have a Christmas Parade. When I got home I slept for about 2 1/2 hours. It was a long day. I'm just lazing around sort of today. Got my tree put together and was about to put the garland on when to my dismay I cannot find it. I have lots of ornaments but it wasn't with them for some uncertain reasoning when I took the garland off the tree and put it in a secure place...now if I knew it was going to be that secure I would have written it down and put that in a secure place too...ahh this gold plated age....Well, I'll sign off now and see if I can find some nice Christmas story on the Hallmark Channel. I can still  remeber where that is. Somewhat of a good sign.  Later, Luv, Alice
