Last year we attended our local town parade and were rather sad. The ‘floats’ were simply cars and trucks pulling trailers with signs that took all of 10 minutes to make. And peopled with t-shrit wearing, giant plastic water cann0n toting individuals who felt the need to literally pelt the crowds with gushers of water. In today’s digital world of expensive cameras and phones always out and being used, I thought it an odd mix. There was no thought or time put into it. Gussie and I felt over dressed even though we were simply wearing cotton dresses white cotton gloves and hats. Ah, to be out of time…I enjoyed some of the older cars and such, but overall was rather sad.
Here is an amazing parade from 1957, much thought and time and effort went into these floats, that is for sure.
As many will be enjoying fried chicken, a staple of the American pic-nic, I thought I’d share this article on it with you. Enjoy:

Happy Homemaking.
