July 2, 2011. Western Head, NS. The Parade.

Today, at 11:00, we will celebrate Canada Day at the Liverpool  Parade.   Mary M. will march in the Mercy Band, playing all the way, to the cheers of the crowd.  Two years ago, the bandmaster collapsed from the heat but we hope everyone is fine today although several of the band members are over 70.   Ken wondered why they didn't hire a flat bed truck so the band could play sitting down.  After all, the parade route is well over a mile.  In addition, we will be seeing floats both large and small along with pipe bands and horse drawn wagons.  It is a 'come one come all'  kind of parade so we will watch kids on decorated bicycles alongside fancy floral floats.  It will be fun.

Then Ken and I will drive to the cottage, to set out the furniture and enjoy the beautiful weather.  Tomorrow, Vinal, Billy and Ken will begin installing the dock and the raft.  At that point, the summer will begin in earnest.  Today, we will celebrate Canada Day in Liverpool.
