Saturday (3/20) was an interesting day. A friend picked me up and we attended the St. Paddy's Parade in Downtown Jackson. We both had our cameras and took pictures. I took way more than she did. We had a good spot for viewing the parade on South State Street near the Old Capitol Museum.
Later in the afternoon, when I got home, I decided I would upload my pictures - to my flash drive so that I could put them on a CD at another time. I discovered that I had taken 176 pictures at the parade! Whoa!! I got them uploaded after trying twice - the first time the batteries in my camera died so I had to start over.
Here's a picture of Kermit the Frog - the Grand Marshal....
And here are a couple of photos from Star Wars: Darth Vader and one of the Troopers....
We had a great time at the parade. It was estimated that a crowd of 60-70,000 attended and that there was an economic benefit of $6.8 million to the City. The weather was cooperative - not too hot and not too cold - plus the rain held off. I purchased a tee shirt for $5 to raise money for the Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital.
Sunday (3/21) I attended church this morning, then had lunch with some friends. After lunch a friend and I ran a couple of errands - including to Wal*Mart to print some of her pictures from St. Paddy's Parade yesterday. I got some of hers and also put some of the photo files on a CD.
This is all for now....
