Hello all. Today was a fun day, we went to the parade. I should say we were IN the parade. I dragged my nephew Shawn along to hand out flyers and a few books. He was grouchy the whole while we were there. John handed out books on one side and Shawn did the other side. John handed out about 3 times more than Shawn did. I guess you can't make someone work if they never learned how.

Alex watched the people as we went by in the parade and I drove our suburban. I put all kinds of banners on it and I even wore my big red hat. It was a lot of fun. I don't know if it will drum up any new business but I guess we'll have to leave that in God's hands.

The rest of the day was a lazy one. It was really hot and humid so I took a nap.

Onward to a new week!
