Hometown Girl

Tonight was so cool. The City of Maitland had a big celebration for the Little League team–parade, fair, fireworks. I have never seen postal trucks in a parade before, but we had ’em–along with guys on stilts, cheerleaders, half the Little League players on bikes, a couple of bands, Girl Scouts, and Shriners on those teeny little motorcycles. Slice of Americana.

Then we had food and speeches and fireworks. It felt like a real town instead of a ‘burb. Saw all kinds of neighbors, watched kids run back and forth playing frisbee, made new friends. Just the kind of thing you want in a hometown.

Baseball. Best. Sport. Ever.
