This is so cute, (((Meg))), thank you. Haha.

Well, I wanted to post pics of floats, etc., but couldn’t find many good ones then accidentally shut off the computer and lost what little I had.

I really, really love the parade. I think I’ve watched every year since forever. I think I’m including all parade fans in the ping, not sure.

This year, I was especially struck by the float that depicted a photo of Helen Keller and her teacher. I also loved the USO float with the big US flag; thanks for that screen capture, WCG.

I love the bands, and they were so good this year, including a first time entry in kilts with bagpipes and all. I didn’t write down the name and of course forgot.

I always look forward to the U.S. Marines mounted color guard to start the parade and the Marines Band, as well as the stealth bomber flyover.

;o)
I am glad you enjoyed it..It made me think of all the football games I have shivered through and the vain attempts to keep dry when it’s pouring rain...
I missed the Rose Bowl Parade this year..just forgot because I was cleaning up my Christmas disorder. It was over when I remembered...Sounds great.
