So the ladies at my favorite bank (Saco and Biddeford Savings) had asked me to ride in the parade with them. I wasnt sure how I felt about it. Our business is in Old Orchard and I didnt want people to get the wrong idea of me. I was afraid of people just thinking I thought that I was just a pretty lady and was good to look at. That isn't my reason for this journey. I have such an important message that I want to share. But, anyway...there I sat on the back of Bernice's car as her and Carolyn drove me through the streets of Old Orchard Beach. It was pretty cool. Everyone was very receptive and yelling my name!! It was a lot of fun!! We had a few laughs as Bernice a few times stepped on the gas a little too aggressively and almost put me in the trunk!! We ended up at Memorial Park where there was a ceremony. Chris Cash who was killed in Iraq was honored by his mom. She has done such a great job in preserving his memory. It was all and all a great day. A bonus was the sun was shining!!!
