Homecoming

Do you remember homecoming? I do, like it was yesterday. It was all about finding the perfect dress and getting a date. Not in Oklahoma! The little towns here have a blowout. They have all kinds of activities and festivities. Including live bands, turtle races (that's right!), a parade, a carnival, and a street dance. It is crazy. The turtle race, which I left work to see, was the funniest thing. People catch random turtles, dress them up and then race them. The kids win money for it. The parade was full of random floats including class of 2002, 4-wheelers and the local clinic. Everyone joins in the fun, including the nursing home residents. The residents were all lined up on the sidewalks in wheelchairs. I love it here!
