2008 LITTLE ROCK CHRISTMAS PARADE

Here are a few of the pictures I took yesterday while attending the Little Rock Christmas Parade.It was a nice day for a winter parade.I enjoyed getting out of the store and losing myself in the atmosphere for an hour or more.

MERRY CHRISTMAS MOM

The marker tells me my mom passed away just over 6 months ago at the age of 69.I can't process it in time.It has shook one of the main pillars of my foundation to the point I feel I could tilt and fall at any moment.I do some how manage to get through each day.I have good days and bad days for sure.This blog helps as do my many other projects.Today I broke down in tears a couple of times but then this is my first Christmas without her.That's me on the back of the marker WAYNE as I am Dennis Wayne Morgan her son from her first marriage.My sister Darlene died when I was 15 and my real father died when I was in the Army in my 20's.Shaunna and Douglas are my Step Fathers kids from his first marriage.David and Gregory are the 2 boys that my Mom and Step Father brought into our lives.We are a close and loving family by all accounts.I will be traveling a short 75 minute drive to my brother David's house to have Christmas dinner with my step father and one of my brothers and his family.I was there Thanksgiving as well.I miss my Mom very much and hope her Christmas is special whatever she is doing today.She loved Christmas more than any one I have ever known.

WHITE CHRISTMAS

This is a cute and fun version of White Christmas.Simply click on the post title.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS

Santa will soon be arriving in Arkansas bearing gifts.I finally figured out what I really want.I hope its not to late.I want the item in the button fly jeans and NOT the item in Santa's hand.

The Addams Family sings WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS

LAUGHS

I got a chuckle out of this.

SANTA FAB

Santa left Little Rock early last week and headed for the land of sunshine before his elves call him to the North Pole to make his yearly run.

CAPITOL CHRISTMAS

I promised you a look at the Christmas Decor at the State Capitol.I took these on two different trips to the post office.They have bus loads of kids coming everyday from allover the state for two weeks to sing Christmas songs and the last picture is outside on the capitol steps of one of those groups.They had just finished singing and were waiting for there bus to give them a ride back home.

CAPITOL CHRISTMAS

One last Saturday event post.After the parade is over it is soon to be dark so it is time to light the capitol for the first time this holiday season.They shoot some fireworks and then turn the lights on.The capitol is within walking distance from my store and I visit it quite often.I go to the post office in the lower floor of the capitol as it is the nearest post office to me and allows me to get a walk in.The inside is decorated real nice.I took pics inside early last week but haven't posted them yet.Gosh I am really behind.Well here's the shot of the capitol I took after the crowd left Saturday night.I will work on Sunday and Monday tomorrow if time allows.

LITTLE ROCK CHRISTMAS PARADE

When I left the Clinton Presidential Library I noticed the Little Rock Christmas Parade was winding down so I stopped my Truck and jumped out for a few quick pics of it as well.It actually looked like a good turnout for a afternoon Little Rock parade.
