Hello From Rockville fplatzer@mywdo.com

Today has been a busy day and it started out with a BANG, when I looked at my clock and the time was 8:00 and I try to leave here at 8:30 so I can have plenty of time to stop for breakfast at McD then on to the VA to help Harlan get ready for church, it all worked out.
Granddaughter Sarah called to remind me about the Veterans Parade at the VA starting at 1:00 and she was to be part of it, so of course we had to make plans to be there.

We got ready and left for church at 10:15, we had plenty of time. Then we had another surprise, Rick and DeeAnn joined us, they wanted to see Sarah in the parade too.

After church we headed back to the VA to change clothes and be more comfortable. Because the parade was assembled in front of Building 50 (Harlan's building) it was a challenge to get as close to his building as possible, I had to drive around the backside (River side) and then we had to park and walk to get in. We changed clothes then took Harlan out in a wheel chair so he'd have a place to sit, the parade was about a half long and of course we saw Sarah, she was in front because of her height, I did get several pictures, because it was a beautiful day we enjoyed it all.

Rick & DeeAnn and Wes & Sarah wanted to go to Anton's for dinner, they don't open until four on Sunday so we needed food to sustain us until then, a trip to McD took care of that.

Harlan and I went up to his room to rest and relax then about 4 we took off for Anton's. Harlan and I shared a rib dinner, it was very disappointing, the ribs were not hot, I guess I won't order ribs in the evening again.

As you can see we had a very busy day but it was a good day, the weather was perfect for a parade, no rain and some sun, we'd had the rain in the morning, it was great so until tomorrow, Good Night........Fran
