Parade

We went to see the Dogwood parade in Elkhart, Texas today. Elkhart is a small town and the parade lasted about 10 minutes. My son-in-law's church had a float (pictured) in the parade. A few minutes before the parade began an old pickup truck pulling an old flatbed trailer with an old refrigerator laying on its side went by. I told Janie the parade had started. We noticed that 75% of the vehicles in the town were pickup trucks. The last float in the parade was a truck pulling a trailer which had 2 porta potties on it (pictured). I am not sure what the significance is or what that would have to do with a celebration of spring and the blooming of the Dogwood trees but it definitely gives one something to think about.

In the first picture you can see my daughter and son-in-law standing next to the float. We had lunch with them afterward and then they took us sight seeing down the Dogwood trail. Justin drove and took us to see several houses which he and his grandfather had built. We enjoyed the parade, the lunch, the ride, and the visit with them. This last picture is of the parade after it passed by us. That is my daughter in the center of the picture. She was handing out Bible literature while her father-in-law next to her was passing out free Bibles to the crowd. Justin was on the other side of the float handing out Bibles.

I am expecting great church services tomorrow. Spring break is over and we should have a good crowd. God bless you.
