Big Boy came rolling in to town Monday morning. What a sight to see!!! I knew there would be a crowd, but I had no idea it would be that large. I had told Sue we needed to get there about an hour early, and when we arrived there was no parking for 2-3 blocks. Thankfully her son dropped us off and parked the car. I heard that people who were closest to the tracks started arriving at 8:00 am, three hours before the scheduled arrival time.
What a patriotic crowd. Several times the people on both sides of the tracks began chanting USA, USA, USA. It brought a lump to my throat and it was hard not to tear up. Makes me proud to be an American.
If you are on Facebook, look up the Lorain page. You can find some amazing pictures and videos. It will pass through our area in July on its return journey. It won't be stopping here in Lorain, but I do hope to see it passing by.
Some good news. I AM BRACE FREE!!! After the ortho doctor gave me the good news, I told him I would have broken down in tears had he said to continue wearing it. I feel like a new woman.
My mantra ~
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
