Hubster and I stumbled out of bed at some ridiculous hour to dress in many layers and walked up to the end of our block to take photos of some of the floats being set-up.
These horses would soon be hitched to
the Calliope Wagon.

Brooklyn cousins living in faraway places, this one's for you!
Because of the barriers set-up to facilitate a smooth-running Parade, we could only walk a few blocks. So we decided to get breakfast at Lenny's.

And here we are in present time. Hubster is taking a nap before we go to Thanksgiving dinner with friends later today. And I'm viewing the Parade from a front-row seat--my couch!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the pictures Mary. My Mom and I are watching the parade now (while the turkey cooks) and she'll love seeing these pictures.
Fun!
"Rosy-finger'd Dawn"?
Tell Bob I'm going to start calling him Telemachus.
Possibly my favorite post ever. It is almost like being there with you only I didn't have to get up so early. The downside is I didn't get Lenny's either. Great, great photos. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.
How very neat to see everything before the crowds. :)
What a wonderful post! Thank you so much :)
