King Ralph and I are about to head downtown to the RV and Travel Show to take more notes in our search for the perfect new family recreational vehicle.
In the meantime I thought I would share my two favorite floats that rolled down Colorado Blvd. on New Years Day.
Why are they my favorite? First, for their artistry. I mean look at those seeds and such laid in flawless detail that make a perfect black and white photo...
and that it's Ronald Reagan.
To mine eyes came tears as I stared at the beauty of this float...not meaning all the
great skill in creative endeavor. No, I am talking about the grace of unselfish nature of those riding on the float. Each person on the float is holding a photograph of some who gave them an organ or a family member who's life was lost but gave an organ to save another. Since there obviously isn't space enough for all these heroes families; beautiful seed art offered colored photos of many more....
That's why these were my faves!

Ok, before I read your blog. You HAVE to sign up for this free website to track your runs. SO ADDICTIVE. It has charts and graphs, and ME to motivate you :)

Now, go run your calamari butt off tomorrow morning or suffer the Italian Evil Eye (and believe me, you don't want what happens if I give you the evil eye)
I love the organ donation one too!!! It's a brave and selfless thing to do for not only one person, but for an entire family (and even future generations).
I saw that float on TV and loved it! Amazing. I can't believe how they create the photos with natural items. Beautiful.
Nellie- I walked really really really fast at a steep incline this morning in the hotel fitness room. I think there might still be a little calamari left. ;-)
Lin- You can't believe how much work was left on those floats I viewed on Thursday and to see them roll down the road on Sunday completed...amazing. Factoid for ya: it takes eight hours to move the floats from the decorating tents to line up area.
Well done Miss Thang! You knew I was gonna check up on you :) Walking fast on an incline is a great way to either get in shape, or barf. Sometimes both!
