  8. I love your parades so much. This particular parade has to be my favorite because it's filled with "all things Spring" and I do love spring. I can hardly wait till you post the other parades, especially your strawberry parade. Even a list would be awesome. Can't wait to see more Melisa. Thank you for being you. I appreciate and love everything about you. Big, Big Hugs, DarleneJ
