Today was rainy and cold. It hasn't rained here the whole time I've lived here until today! And today is Homecoming. Aunt Sherry, Uncle Jason, Jon and Emmy were all excited about Homecoming. Aunt Sherry said she hasn't missed Homecoming since she was 16. We did go to the parade. Aunty wrapped me up in a blanket, and the cousins stood by us and held umbrellas over us. The band had to march with no umbrellas! All the cheerleaders were soaking wet, the homecoming maids in their pretty dresses were sitting on tops of cars, but they were holding umbrellas! At least someone was sorta dry! After the parade we picked Uncle up from work. He got in the car and told Aunty she could go to the game if she wanted, but he'd been out in the rain all day and he was staying home. Aunty said she'd already decided to keep us kids at home. We listened to a little bit of the game on the radio, and the Ricebirds lost anyway. That's the first time they've lost Homecoming in 30 years.
