Diana picked me up and we were first in her office where I could send mails. Then we were around Valley City and in some stores. We met several of the other family members on the main street. Here began the parade of full music. Most businesses, companies, schools, day care centers and all sports teams had dressed up and decorated vehicles for the parade.

People lined up along the route and the participants threw candy to the children. It is a long parade and much has been done out of the decor.

The parade should give good luck to the local baseball team and advertise the various professions.

Beth and Gerald. We just sit down and have a cup of coffee together before their daughter, Lynn, and I drive to our lunch deal. It is in a small wooden parcel house and is called ” Another time”. Here, Dorothy and Curtis are waiting for us. It is a special place where not 2 plates are alike. Everything is recycled and old, even the napkins. The food is nice and good.

The evening is still young, Eva thinks, and suggests that we all visit Axel and Clara. Kl. is 8pm and we drive over to them and greet son Wayne. He is home to join the party tomorrow.

It was late before Eva and I share our beer and got to bed.
