St. Patty’s Day in the Swamp, Part 2

Again, my apologies for the technical difficulties with this post. I’m still encountering problems I can only overcome by splitting this post into two parts, published simultaneously. So please read Part 1 first.

And now the continuation of June’s St. Patrick’s Day parade experience….

But, This was my absolute FAVORITE marching(?) group. A bunch of female athletes and they invited me to come watch their next match on Apr. 2. I am SO there!

I have that skirt, but my skates are yellow

I'll bet my new friends train hard to keep their athletic bodies

 

After parade we all went to a really popular club…

And this is why I ALWAYS carry my camera.

Had a great time at the parade. I hope they want to do this for all the holidays!

St. Patty’s Day in the Swamp, Part 1

My apologies for the technical difficulties on the previous publication of this post.  Many thanks to those who alerted me to the problem! (I’m still encountering additional problems I can only overcome by splitting this post into two parts, published simultaneously. So please read this one first!)

June has filed the following report on her St. Patrick’s Day celebration in the Swamp….I’m a little behind on posting…sorry about the delay!  Betty

May the best day of your past be the worst day of your future

Some friends of mine own a real estate agency and they decided Thursday night to build a float for today’s parade. I made tissue paper flowers, streamers etc. Since I had never been in a parade, I decided to join them… handing out beads & candy.

Here’s how the Rose Parade got started I’m pretty sure.

Got bored waiting on things to get going so I ventured out to meet some locals.

Don’t have a clue what the Vikings had to do with St. Patty’s. They did let me borrow an outfit to see if I would like to be a Nordic woman… what do you think?

I just liked this guy.

Who doesn't love a man in a uniform?

And these boys had a helluva periscope

Yep, that’s friends float.
