WELCOME TO 2013!!!
"The Calendar said JANUARY!"
Time continues to fly doesn’t it, like the pigs on this float!? And the calendars haven’t even made it to the post office
yet! (At least they made it from
the printer!) At any rate….I vow
to have a monthly post of the calendar photo….how about that? I gave it a valiant effort last year,
but something happened beyond August!
LIFE! Life happened!!!
January’s Calendar photos come from the Rose Parade 2012,
the 123rd Annual Rose Parade.
Which is ALWAYS a highlight of my year. I don’t sleep, but I see many people that I love, make new
friends, and get to watch these flowers float on passed me! It’s awesome! The theme for the parade in 2012 was “Just Imagine”….and La Cañada Flintridge had “If Pigs Could Fly”! It was adorable….and won the “Bob Hope
Humor Award”. Seeing these things
go by us? WOW! Again, if it’s on your bucket
list? Do it soon…..and I stand by
the fact that you should do it with Al Brooks. They give the best tour, the prices are legit, AND? The seats on parade day are PERFECT! (Fill out the "contact us" form, and tell them you WANNA GO!)
Now, after the
parade, you can go to the Rose BOWL and see the football game, OR you may want
to peruse the actual FLOATS from the parade! It gives you a chance to get up close and personal with the
floats! Really look at them
slowly! (We DO go to the float
barns BEFORE the parade, but they are still working on them, so it’s fun to see
the PRE-Floats at the Barns, and the POST Floats in the street!! Again. Al Brooks. This
inch worm to the right is from the Rotary International Float, as seen from the “Post-Floats”. JUST WAY COOL!
Last year…2012,
the parade was on January 2, the rule of “never on a Sunday” had taken
affect! The Rose Parade is always
on New Years Day, unless New Years falls on a Sunday, in which case the parade
is done on that Monday! Such as it
was for the 123rd Tournament of Roses! We expect to see you there for the 125th! No pressure, but get booking. (jay@albrooks.com) Easiest thing to strike off your bucket
list!!!!!
