Tough Enough to Wear Pink

The theme this year for the Gila County Rodeo Parade was "tough enough to wear pink."
So the Budweiser Truck, along with horses, cowboys and cowgirls all dressed in pink. It was an atypical theme for a Rodeo Parade,
but it seems it is a theme which has a familiar ring among many in this community.

OK...so not everybody was wearing PINK. There was Alice in one of her signature hats. She logs about ten miles a day in her rounds of Globe. Since giving up driving several years ago, she walks everywhere; to Safeway, the bank, everyw here! Up and down these hills. She is probably in better shape at age 85+ than I am at 51! She says she'd be crippled up just like everyone else her age who just sits around. Her healthcare plan is to walk.
And then there was Ed Bacon who rode the  wagon in the parade. Again, if you're a Bacon you don't have to do anything but show up. Like most "events" in Globe, the joy is in watching your neighbors.

Great picture of Alice! I had to attend an all weekend workshop on SEI MANDATED by the state so I missed out on the event. It was great to be able to see some pictures and read about it. I was also relieved to see tough spelled that way instead of tuff, since my third grade students entered the poster contest (Valany Trujillo won)and that's how I had them spell it. Thanks!
