Hi..Shiny...and yes going alone would be very strange for me..I don't do things like that.....most of my friends had their own famliles over..and anyways I survived..but funny thing..both our kids were around at lunchtime..so dd called her dad on the way to a fast food joint and asked if he wanted to join us..he did..I was so scared that he would tell her that he was going to parade..but I was going to get past it if he did..we are s and I have trouble sometimes with those feelings of not doing all the things we used to do together..anyway..he came and we were talking and i said I was a little sad that I was not going to the parade, as we have always gone...he said because I had mentioned earlier in the week that I might walk in the parade with one of our judges that is running for office, that he never gave it another thought..so if I had just asked him.. sounds like he might have gone with me...oh well. We had a nice lunch..I am feeling so much like before all this stuff, when I am around him...that is a good sign..
