I guess that is some kind of record.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035113274497372396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-45160425396017815962014-09-14T09:15:26.018-05:002014-09-14T09:15:26.018-05:00Our colors were orange and black too.

I went to a very small school...not a lot of competition. Ha! Ha! Those were great years though and probably part of why I love the fall season....I spent so much of it outside. So nice that you had a date for the parade and one for the game too if you wanted it!

A little more pomp and ceremony to that, even if all those tissue flowers were such a pain to make.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-38400172192880662422014-09-13T14:44:32.575-05:002014-09-13T14:44:32.575-05:00I don't remember my school ever having buttons...I don't remember my school ever having buttons.

The school still has a parade, and it's pretty small - hey Main Street is only three blocks long, but the parade swings around and goes in front of the elementary where the little ones wave signs and dream about being in the parade like the big kids.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296050573667055406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-91485643969809829282014-09-13T12:37:16.346-05:002014-09-13T12:37:16.346-05:00If you think back to your day it a a big deal.

Save that energy for the game and the resources for another project. One of the best focuses in life is on the people you love and work together as a team. That's what you did with your date and the kids did with their parade! Love it! Did Chance get to attend? Was he impressed with the activity?!!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-48656715730573372922014-09-13T08:09:52.189-05:002014-09-13T08:09:52.189-05:00Something about those old homecoming memories, the...Something about those old homecoming memories, the games, the dances and the clothes.

Your pictures sure have a small town feeling to them. I was never lucky enough to have had such a parade where I lived. I think there were five high schools in town, and mine had almost a thousand high school grads. I was invisible because of its size.DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.com
