We had a great turnout from my Bethel. There were lots of girls, who weren't exactly raring to go since it was so hot and humid. When they were complaining about having to walk while the girls who were riding as Honored Queen and Senior Princess and I rode on the golf cart, we were telling them we'd rather walk than wear the capes. I thought I was suffocating in mine, but I think the Honored Queen had it worse than I did. That's okay though. Since we have no air-conditioning at my Bethel, we're conditioned to it.
The golf cart was interesting. It's the first time we've ever used one of those in a parade. It was sort of fun though, but with Peggy in the driver's seat, we were going up and down hills to pass people to get in line for the parade. I never know quite what to expect when Peggy's driving. We had to ward off some of the members of the 4-H Rabbit Club who were trying to soak their competition with water guns. We met a Past Honored Queen from our Bethel, and despite sweating half to death thanks to the heat, we waved and smiled like princesses, and finished the parade just before it began to thunder.
Tomorrow, I'm off to the Worthy Grand Matron's Reception. Keep checking back for more news on my travels!
