Parade Day For Mesquite Day

Small town . . . gotta love it. Where else would you find seventy year old scantily clad and tap dancing down main street? This was parade was better than it had been for the last three years, but still, I was surprised at the amount of people over 70 in the parade. I really think the fountain of youth has been found somewhere in or around this town.
These were the young princesses . . .

The boyscouts . . .

The old farmer with the old tractor . . .

I don't know how old this clown was . . . Cambria was brave enough to give him a high five, but Kiera has a fear of clowns . . .

The Rodeo Princess . . . Cambria has a new dream to aspire too . . .

The old covered wagon with an add for the new sushi bar coming to town . . .

The horse and carriage that was at my girlies b-day party . . .

The cowboys . . .

The Indians . . . I mean Native Americans . . .

Mrs. Senior Mesquite . . . I've got a new goal to aspire too . . . Hot rods . . .

Old fire truck . . .

Old military vehicle . .

The MesquiteToes . . . a tap dancing senior citizen group . . . You should have seen them perform . . . the stripped down to these t-shirts that had bikini's painted on them . . . very scandalous.

The red hatters . . .

Seeing all these old woman thriving and doing what they love without qualm or evidence of embarrassment makes me wonder what I will do when I am old . . . so I worked out a schedule:

Monday: swim to work out at the local rec center(early in the morning of course so I don't scar any young people ) and then at night I'll go to the empty nesters FHE.

Tuesday: Library day: I'll spend some time perusing may favorite novels in a cushy chair somewhere . . . Then I'll head off to practice my dance routine with the MesquiteToes Dancing Ambassadors. They have even been booked on cruise ships, so you know it will be a lot of serious work.

Wed: back to the pool in the early morning and then off to play Bingo.

Thursday: I'll make this be my official doctor day, Old people are always at the doctor or so they tell me. I might as well be proactive about it. We'll make this date night too, that way Kai and I can still keep the spark alive.

Friday: another day at the rec center and a day to write all my grandchildren and read ALL the mail they will have sent me. I thin I will also use this day to campaign to be Mrs. Senior Mesquite. I'll also make sure my tiara's from my previous wins are polished nicely.

Saturday: Grocery Shopping day, at least this seems to be senior citizen day in Mesquite and digital scrapbooking and family history day.

Sunday: Church and nap day . . .it's been a long week. It's hard to be old . . . Youth is wasted on the young!
