I meant to share these pictures last week and somehow forgot to. Then, last night I was telling a friend on the phone about my last trip to my beloved PTown and I remembered that I forgot (oh, you know what I mean...)
After attending the Barn House Sale in Battleground, we headed back into Stars Hollow Camas to check out another fair supposedly happening there, but we never quite made it. We had to stop because certain streets were closed, due to the "Camas Days Parade". (What?! Oh. My. Ga. Yet another thing to love about this sweetest of small towns...)
It was a true Stars Hollow moment, I tell you. I hung out the car window snapping pictures and taking it all in- the homemade floats, the proud members of the community out there curbside supporting their little town. Gosh, I loved it.
The highlight (for me anyway) was seeing this...
If you can't read it, let me tell you what is says: "CITIZEN OF THE YEAR, Wilson Cady". Oh, how I long to live in a small town community where each and every one can aspire to become the citizen of the year. How magnificent!
I asked my daughter what Mr. Cady did to receive such an honor. She said she had read about him, or maybe it was on the TV news, but she couldn't remember exactly what it was. (Sorry Mr. Cady.) I felt the sudden urge to jump from the car and locate the Taylor Doose or Miss Patty of Camas to ask them. They would know.
At any rate, the reason I share this, is that we need more of these kinds of things in our daily lives. (at least I do) More Camas Days parades. More Citizens of the Year awards. More little big moments.
Let's celebrate everyday life.
