Windham OH Bicentennial Celebration

This year is the 200th Birthday of the town I grew up in.  I decided to go for a visit to spend time with family and to see old friends.  I really enjoyed myself!  I ran into some people I haven't even seen in 20 years.  God, am I that old, I  mean am I that young!  lol

Well I'll post some pictures later of the Bicentennial Parade!  Most of you will get a little laugh out of it and others of you growing up in small towns will get a little nostalgic from it!

For me the best time I had was going back down to the town Celebration with my Dad.  I got the biggest kick out of him enjoying himself running into old friends.  I told him that he needs to get out more often and spend time with his friends.  It was pretty evident how much his friends were really happy to see him!

There is nothing like growing up in a small town.  Everyone is family whether you want them to be or not!  I say that with a smile and with tears in my eyes.  I like where I live now but I also realize how much I miss some of the people that had to put up with me at least 16 years of my life!

Cheers to Windham!  Happy 200th Birtyhday!
