parade cleaning crew

After a long night last night i awoke to the sounds of running feet, cries, screams, and the energy levels of two little boys!  We engulged breakfast and hit the community for some garage sales.  We saw our very own TV we purchased over five years ago on sale for $150.  It was hard to digest that we paid over $500 and it is already out of date.  We don’t even have cable presently and I’ve been spending many evenings lately at my in-laws to catch the Red Sox games.  Which they did end up winning Game 1 tonight 2-0!

This afternoon some of our team, as well as some CRU students from RSU, banded together to agressively tackle our main street of Claremore.  The high school homecoming parade was today, so we followed it up with trash bags and rubber gloves.  It amazed me that seven people in just over an hour cleaned up the sidewalks!  It didn’t take long at all and it was an honor to love our community with no strings attached.  I didn’t mind doing it because I’m madly in love with Claremore Oklahoma!  One guy asked us if we were the parade cleaning crew?  I said heck yeah!  It makes me wander if we shouldn’t volunteer to serve after each parade that our community has in the future.  We celebrated buy eating pizza at Napoli’s.
