Daffodil Parade and a Contest Winner

So much fun, I love parades. The colors, the noise, children's excitement all fill the air. And there was no exception to this years  Daffodil Parade. OK, OK, there was one very exciting exception, and that was that one of my little misses was a participant in this years parade. whoopee.

The Fire Department had a contest at all the local elementary schools. They were all challenged to make a home fire escape plan and turn it into a poster, and one child from every school would be chosen to win. The prizes were:

• To ride on the fire truck in the Daffodil Parade
• Have their escape poster hung at the Spring Fair
• A Great Escape Tee Shirt
• 3 free Spring Fair Admission Tickets

She was soooo excited and all she could talk about for a week was that she was going to be riding in a Fire Truck at the Daffodil Parade, it was so cute. ( Maybe she found her calling?)

So without further ado.... Here are some of our local winners and a few pics of our local parade.

And of course a few of the attractions

When Life Happens

Well we've had alot of life happening here  At 112th Street, and you can't always be ready for it.


In March  2011 we lost a very dear and wonderful Woman, my mother. Even when you know that someone you love is Ill, it is still a very painful ordeal to muddle through. And muddle through we are.


Although the pain is still here I realize that I must work through it and move on in my daily life to start feel any semblance of normal. I have witnessed the strength of others in my family as they make peace with their loss and I am ready to do the same. With my support system in place (as always) I take the first steps.

1. On Easter Day Mr. F and I planted a tree in her memory.
2. I am also going to restart this blog

 

I hope that you will come along for the ride as we experience,


LIFE AT 112th STREET.
