Did I tell you.... ?

...I'm going to be a parade judge this Saturday? What do I know about this? Nothing. Zippo. Nada.

I recently joined our Chamber of Commerce in order to expand my network of acquaintances and to get me out of the house. I volunteered in their office last week. They're really busy because this weekend begins our annual Dogwood Trails festival. So...the woman is desperate to find another judge for the parade. I tell her no. The other lady asks if I can come at 6 a.m. to help check in vendors. Uh....how do I judge a parade, I ask.

It seems there's a check sheet. I get to stand on the upper balcony of our famed Redlands Hotel to watch the whole parade. And someone else tallies the marks from the sheets. It's only two hours' duty. And it's NOT at 6 a.m.!

Afterwards, I will be a truly experienced parade judge. So if you have any parades in your neighbor, just let me know and I'll help you out. Unless it's at 6 a.m. !

This is too funny! My mom, a parade judge!! How fun! I hope you get someone to take your picture. Do you get to dress up? Wear a suit and your sternest judge face. :)
