Yesterday was the Homecoming Parade in downtown Meadville.

It was led by the ROTC and what a fine group of boys and girls.

Different groups from the school participated, along with the court (which I didn't pic. of).

First is our growing band....

Freshmen float...

I know this next one was the Jr. float because JoBea rode it. She's in the black and white zebra print shirt. She and Rachel stayed up till late Wed. night painting them for school Thurs. They did a great job.

I text JoBea and told her where I would be standing....her response back to me was, "mama, do not yell at me". My reply was, "I just want a picture." When Barbie and I arrived on our corner of destination, I told Barbie what she said and Barbie took care of the rest. As soon as she saw JoBea she began to yell LOUDER than ever..."JOBEA, HEY JOBEA...OVER HERE JOBEA..JOBEA, JOBEA, JOBEA...YAHHH JOBEA!!" JoBea could have died. She was laughing, along with everyone else.

High School Cheerleaders...
Future Bulldogs!!!

And last but not least.....OUR DOGS!!!

Come out and help celebrate the '08-'09 Homecoming...Tonight, Court presented at 6:30 and the Game at 7.

DOGS VS. JAGS

When the parade was over, JoBea, Madge and Tyler wanted to go to McComb and eat at Tortilla Soup Restaurant. It's across from Golden Corral. They invited me to go too. I knew then they must be out of money, they weren't doing it out of love I was pretty certain of that;)Their reason was to celebrate the ending of their first 9wks. test and who can argue with that.
JoBea had eaten here before and said it was the best Mexican place ever. It was. They have a menu with lots of things...even pastas!

JoBea, Madge & Amber got pastas.

Tyler got the steak with black bean soup and mesa salad....

and for me, I had to try the bbq ribs with bake potato and mesa salad. The ribs had a good flavor, but was a little over cooked. Just like Tyler's steak, my ribs were so hot (oven hot) you had to be careful. That's a lot better than being cool or cold tho.

We were pleased with the service, food and atmosphere.

I provided a little entertainment for the kids, except they missed it! As I said, the ribs were hot, so as I grab a small bone to tear the meat off, the bone slides from my fingers and flies through the air to the floor towards another table (no one was around). I began to fall out laughing and the kids look at me as if I had lost my mind. When I explained and pointed to where the rib landed, they too fell out! I told JoBea to hand me my camera and I would take a picture of it on the floor but she began to threaten me if I did. I got up and retrieved the bone so that no one would slip on it. I'm thinking if JoBea had seen it happen each of you would be reading my blog today written from a "home" somewhere.

I think we represented Franklin County well at Tortilla Soup because the Waitress told me, as we began to leave, she enjoyed waiting on us and she hopes next time we come she gets us. JoBea was surprised because when she and whoever came they weren't told that. I think she must have seen my "rib bone trick" and is in hopes next time I'll show her how to "catch air" with it :)

Have an ENJOYABLE day with Christ!

God bless you....
