In the Local Paper

A week ago Bunkie had its annual Christmas parade and fireworks. Vinson took pictures of the parade for the local newspaper. I shot a few pictures at the fireworks show just to see how they would look. After I downloaded them to the computer I showed Vinson one firework shot that I really liked. He agreed it looked great. The following Monday Vinson was at work and asked me to email his pictures to the paper and he told me to throw in the fireworks picture too.


I just received a call from him telling me my picture is on the front page of the Bunkie Record and the news editor has been getting good comments about it from readers. While Vinson has been published in the paper numerous times (he even won an award for a fire picture he took) this is my first time.

Parade Time

It's Christmas parade time! On Saturday our Cub Scout Pack was in the Bunkie Christmas Parade. The kids had a great time riding on the float and throwing candy. It was pretty hot for December so most of the kids were in shorts (in a Christmas Parade! ). It doesn't feel like Christmas when you are sweating in the sun! Guess I should be glad it wasn't raining.

Since my kids didn't get to watch the parade or catch any candy (like they need candy). We spent Sunday in the hot sun so they could watch the Cottonport parade. They came home with a bag full of candy. All in all the kids were very happy with their weekend.
