Here Comes the Parade!!

We got a phone call from our oldest son Jason this morning. That is, thankfully, not unusual. He calls almost every morning to "have coffee" with us before he starts his day in Laguna Beach. But today, the call came as he was barreling toward New York City from Long Island. He and his wife Georgette are in The City for two weeks to spend the holiday with Georgette's sister Darcy and her incredible family.

But this is not just about Thanksgiving!

This is a much bigger deal than a National Holiday!
The very big deal! We are "loopt" with our son, so we were able to follow them on our phones today as they made their way to New York and the rehearsal hall on Avenue of the Americas. Jason and Georgette are there to see their niece Haley is going to be IN the Macy's parade. We are "loopt" with our son, so we were able to follow them on our phones today as they made their way to New York and the rehearsal hall on Avenue of the Americas on to Times Square and then back home (where was this gadget when he was 15 and I was always pulling my hair out trying to figure out where he was???)

Anyhow- Back to the Macy's Parade!
Very big deal!!!

You have to understand that the Macy's Parade is a sacred ritual in our New York born and bred family. We all watch it and most of us have attended it- but now- we have someone IN the parade.

And not just anyone! It's our Haley- an extremely talented and delightful young lady who is going to steal America's heart away.

Man, I wish my mom and dad were still with us!

They would be bragging up down Brooklyn Heights about this one!
