is tomorrow
and as in the past
the Rose Festival Princesses and Royal Queen
will ride upon a float through town on a
5 miles stretch across the
Willamette River into Downtown Portland.
People (us included) wait for hours in anticipation for the start of the parade..
....in fact
Jeff is down at "OUR SPOT" right now.....
and waiting......
to save a space for us to watch the parade from!!
It's a tradition of his to go down the night before and sit outside and hold our spot....
the rest of the family will arrive around 7:00 am
and wait about 4 more hours for the
start of the parade to reach us.
It is a fun tradition and we have done this with our kids as they have grown up....
and now....
we are loving watching our grand kids enjoy it!!!
Someday I will collect all the pictures and make a photo book.....
In the meantime I hope you will enjoy this wool applique pattern called
Ring Around the Roses

And of course we will be watching for that crown on the head of the new
Rose Festival Queen!!
