New Blog

For those of you who are interested in our "life in community" adventure, we are setting up a blog dedicated to recording our thoughts and reactions throughout the journey. As the disclaimer at the bottom of the community blog states, we are not experts, and we don't advertise this as THE choice for all people. We are just doing what God has laid on our hearts to do at this point in time. The community blog is authored by any of the four of us, and it will hopefully be an honest look at our experiences. There is a link to it on the side of this page if you need to find it again later. For now, there is a post from me, and a post from Tom, and more to come later I'm sure.

Lawnmower Brigade

So in the Wilmore parade, they have a group of men from the community who dress up in white dress shirts and ties. Each man pushes a lawnmower in formation. They have a director who uses a whistle to direct them into new formations- turns, marching in single file, marching in two lines. It was in the top 10 funniest things I've ever seen. Eric says there is a YouTube video of it, and he'll try to find it.

Some international flavor in the parade. There are lots of countries represented in our little town, so it was nice to see some international color.


This was the house across the street from where we watched the parade. There is an older couple on the front porch and the man smiled from ear to ear through the whole thing- especially the antique tractors.
