Days with the Dorans

  It is always nice to be able to turn off your alarms on Memorial Day. It's also nice when your band kid has his license so you don't have to drive him to the parade. Sean's call time was 10:00 which was about the time we left to go to the parade. We hit the Tim Horton's by us for some tea and then were on our way. People were already lining the streets when we were finding a spot to park so I was worried our usual place would be taken but it wasn't! I was so happy.
