Saturday was cruise-in day at the place Lory works. The parking lot was completely full of antique cars. I had to park far away from the restaurant. That way I got to walk by a lot of the cars on the way.
She got the privilege of doing the outside cooking. The picture below is her working before she noticed I was there.
She then turned around for me to get a full shot of her costume. Under that apron there is a poodle. The shoes started out black but became saddle shoes when white duct tape was added. Several of her co-workers heard she could make poodle skirts so she was kept busy making more of them.
Then on Sunday Lory and her gang came over in the afternoon to watch the parade.
The Memorial Day Parade is a quiet parade , no sirens or horns. Just a lot of respect for this solemn holiday.
The parade is never very long. At the end of it the people gather at the cemetery and have a ceremony which involves a prayer, a few speeches and a 21 gun salute. The flag was at half staff. The honored person in this parade was a 90 year old WWII veteran.
Seven guns were fired three times to get the twenty-one gun salute required.
By the way, I found a store that sells Little Kings Ale, my favorite. I’m celebrating that.
Later….
