The celebration continues

While I'm visiting family in FL...so glad to see them, and to be here in December (you know why!) I do want to keep posting. Why do you think I have a laptop! Here're some oldies you might enjoy.


 

Macy's Parade, 1924 with Central Park Zoo elephants


First balloon animal in Macy's Parade was Felix the Cat. "Floats" may be the theme for my post.



Macy's Parade, 1930



The last float in the Asheville Thanksgiving Parade 2023. Black Mountain had it's Christmas Parade Dec. 2 this year.


I hope all my Sepia Saturday blogging friends have a very Happy Christmas, and a Merry New Year. See you in 2024! (I'll have some blogs here for the non-SS folks)


What somber people in North Carolina in 1956! Goodness!



Note the car for little boy on far left.



About 1916-17 Uncle Chauncey in the Auto, and Junior (my father, George Rogers) wearing a tin pail or such. My father had been born in 1914...So it's a guess as to dates. Chauncey was born in 1912 so they were close in age.


Today's quote:
The gift of disappointment is to bring us into reality so we don’t get stuck in the realm of how things might have been.
