This morning, Kathy, Gary, and I went to a parade in downtown Prineville. This is Rodeo Time, and there were lots of horses with riders in the parade. Many of them were contestants for rodeo queens. Their costumes were beautiful. They all had floral arrangements just behind their saddles. The flowers matched their color scheme of clothes and saddles. The wrapping on the horses’ legs matched also.
There were floats and a marching trash can band. Firetrucks played a noisy part in the celebration, with a few firemen clowns. Some of the firetrucks sprayed the crowd with water. No one cared because the temperature had already begun to rise. I believe it was the best small town parade I’ve seen.
We went to McDonald’s for something cold to drink before going to a few garage sales. One particularly large sale was an estate sale. Every room in the house was stuffed with items. I got really tired and finally had to leave the shopping to Kathy.
We went back to their house and ate turkey sandwiches. After resting in the cool house, we continued our adventures. We went to Goodwill and St. Vincent de Paul Thrift stores. We took Panda Express home and ate in the coolness of their house.
As we pulled into the driveway, we saw a young buck. He had antlers just beginning to get their velvet. He was a very handsome fellow.
