After the parade, the folks were content to hang out at home. Monte and I went back downtown, where Monte filled out a card to vote on his favorite vehicles in different categories.

(None of us have attended CNWN meetings for a couple years, though I keep thinking I’ll start going again.) Funnily enough, we last saw Sherry a year ago at the 2007 Chapman Days. |

Now we’ll be able to sleep better this winter knowing the house is much less likely to burn to the ground!
