Veterans Day falls in November. Waco has a pretty big parade. I try to get out to watch it every year.
This year, we let John take the day off school and drive his Pawpaw in the parade. John is in a Jeep club and his grandfather served aboard the USS Harder submarine. They both love a good parade.
As the days get shorter, we have a hard time finding activities to keep the scouts busy. We are fortunate to have a pretty good sized kitchen at our charter organization so we let the guys work on some cooking skills.
A friend is starting a historical walking tour in town and we had the privilege of serving as Guinea pigs for her first run. It was a really nice day for a walk.
The walk included information about our ALICO building. It has an interesting past. But you dont have to take my word for it! ALICO history
I think those are all fairly representative of Blue. Let's see what December brings.

Lucky for you one of the boy scouts was wearing a blue T-Shirt ;-)
What is the cool bridge's name? Way to participate in the parade!
Oh how I miss the scouts! I didn't "get it" until my boys became scouts. What a great organization. They learned a lot and so did I.
I think the jeep picture is my favorite.. the framing, the meaning and the smile!
The sky is so pretty in your "historical walking tour " photo.
You sure enjoyed some beautiful blue skies in November, including the day of the Veteran's parade. I clicked through to read the story behind the Alico building - it's a great story, well-deserving of being part of your friend's history walking tour.
