This picture captured yesterday perfectly. I enjoyed being part of our little parade SO much! Let me tell you why…
In recent years I have sat on the sidewalks and watched our parade - it is always so much fun because you tend to know everyone. Everyone on every float. Everyone on the sidewalks. It’s community. It’s HOME. But, I found myself wishing we had more participation in the parade. More floats, more creativity, heck - more candy thrown for the kids 😂
Then, I had a realization. I needed to be a part of the solution!! Mom and I own a business - and we could enter in the parade! Did I have thoughts of “who would want to see quilts in a parade”… sure. But guess what? I ignored those thoughts and we DID it!
And we had the BEST time! Seeing all the kids run for candy from the sidewalks is fun, but seeing their faces from our float?? Now that is something truly special!! THANK YOU Inman for being such a great hometown for us! We wouldn’t have it any other way!
And yes, we will be in future parades. Yesterday’s joy was the best medicine and I cannot wait for next year! We already have ideas on how to make the float better and showcase different quilts each year!
