Okay, the war in Iraq is probably illegal. But does that stop us from welcoming home the Royal Scottish Regiment? Hell, no- they follow their orders. Plus, Mae is a huge fan of pipes and drums so we just HAD to make our way to the homecoming parade.
Most of you know me to be an unsentimental bitch- but you would change your minds if you attended a parade with me. Yes, the pipes make my eyes well up, but I shed a tear at ANY parade. The first parade we took Mae to, I cried. Like really, at the stupid handmade floats of the Rotary Club and the Womans Rural. I have no idea why. I would cry at the parade in Disney World. And not at the cynical, corporate horror of it all- it just makes me weep. There you are, my soft spot.

THAT is a hilarious soft spot that I never would have imagined!! I'm going to hire a little parade to accompany me every time I see you now!
I'll join your parade Bethanne. I'll dress up as Shirley Temple. Or maybe a little Dutch girl. Jennifer will be weeping.
I love the pictures!
Where's the one of teary you? That's the sweetest story!
