Our friend Della is in the middle with her daughter Marla (who I met at a ladies retreat at the end of January). I expect the man on the left is Marla’s husband, but I never met him.

Thanks, Marla. It was fun to see us from your point of view.

There are always a lot of people at the Walmart entrance and the junction of RT 322 and RT 222.

A beautiful rig – not aware that it is anybody we know.

Cerwin’s brother called to say where he was parked and that he had Mother in the car. Since the parade was over, we stopped to give her a Mother’s Day hug.

Because we stopped, we were now behind a different truck and could see the reflection of the cross on our grill in the back door of this truck.

These people already saw the parade, but stayed to see the trucks returning to Burle Industries – or going in that general direction.

These trucks were ahead of us. It appears the drivers stopped to talk.

Back at TFC’s office and shop.

At the beginning of the day, when the truck broke down, we weren’t sure we would make it to the Make-A-Wish Convoy.

We have been doing this for several years, and it was the best ever.
