We were provided a golf cart with the sign already attached. Don is well known for “This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it” because he has the church congregation repeat it almost every Sunday.
Rene poses by the Kitchen Band sign.
I got so tickled when he realized that he had left his toothpick in his mouth… like that was the only ridiculous thing about this picture. He was serious and insisted I take a picture without the toothpick. Funny man.
Another member of the Kitchen Band. I’ve never really seen a bed pan in the kitchen, but I’m thinking this “instrument” just may be very musical.
Joe, a parade director.
Floy and Barb with her fur-baby.
The lead car in the parade carries the Prom King and Queen for this year, Art and Delores.
Delores is unable to be in the parade this year because she is in the hospital. Prayers are greatly appreciated for her.
Got a picture of Tip O’ Texas official photographer, taking a picture. Groovey socks, John!!
Another colorful parade participant. Don’t see any green, though, but his eyes sure are smiling. Wonder if he’s Irish?
This Ford was shipped from Alaska!
A few of the T.O.T. Volleyball team prepare to walk in the parade. That young’un doing the ball trick is the visiting son of the man in the white cap, Bruce.
Our friend Monte shows off the medals he won this year in the Golden Age Olympics.
Another friend, Warren, rides his Harley in the parade.
Spectators!
Jan and Lyla.
By the time we got to them, they had moved closer to the street to take pictures.
The Color Guard. Our friend, Roger, with the Texas flag.
That’s our park managers! Jim in the green wig and Donna with her fist in the air. As we drove by, she shouted, “Yay God!!!” Love her!!!
Everybody loves a parade. Especially Joyce.
Almost every group at Tip O’ Texas was in the parade. We even have cheerleaders!!!
Of course the puppies were present!
Oh, those Red Hatters!
She sure did want to be a part of the parade. Her grandpa was the man driving the old Ford.
Next event: The Mermaids, our park synchronized swimming ladies. These lovelies are waiting for the show to begin.
The six Mermaids are introduced and the music begins.
They put on a good show and performed through four songs. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the Mermaids.
The Golf Cart races started at 1:00 PM. One person drove the course blindfolded, then took off the blindfold and did a U-turn. They traded places and the second person drove the reverse route, blindfolded as the rider gave directions. Each cart raced along against the stop watch.
It got pretty scary. I couple of times, folks were scrambling to get out of the way. This man fell on the ground trying to move.
She stopped just inches before slamming into this utility pole!! And she was going at a pretty good clip! Her rider sure kept her cool.
It was getting hot and Don was tired, so we headed back to the Q.
It was a fun St. Patty’s Day.
