Homestead Mercantile: Red Hot Mama's

Please come on in, sit down and take a look at a slice of my life...

My interest in blogging comes from a hole left in my life...that being a lack of information that was left behind from my ancestors. You see, I figure maybe someday my descendants may want to know about my life in the 21st century, as I want to know about my ancestors. So I was inspired to begin this blog. Now over the years I have done some journaling...albeit pretty random. So, since I spend a fair amount of time on this laptop I might as well document my life while I am at it. Oh do I wish my grandmother's and grandfather's had taken the time to write about their lives. What a treasure that would be! So I dedicate this blog to my ancestors and my descendents. Enjoy!

Red Hot Mama's

Here is a pic of our local gals...the Red Hot Mama's in the 4Th of July parade yesterday. These gals have been together for years and been to some major parades, including The Inauguration parade in Washington, DC. But sadly the founder is getting tired and wants to retire...so their run is now coming to an end. I believe that yesterday was their last performance. They have added a delightful touch to our parades every July 4Th and at the Christmas Festival of Lights Parade. They will be sorely missed. Thanks for the memories, Red Hot Mamas!
