My Float for the Anniversary Parade

          
                My float is pulled by this little lady

                                :


          The banner on the front of the float is:



                   This kitty is carrying the cup cake


                    

        A speaker tells you my AOL J-land story:

           In the time I have been here in J-land
             I have lost pets, and become      
          a proud mom to another kitty.  
          When my little Ashely (cat) was so   
          sick and died it was the AOL J-land
          Community that helped me through the
           pain.  When I found little Sadie
           (kitten) it was the same community
            that helped me through the time
            thought I would lose her and they
            also helped to pick her name.  This is
            her in January at 1.5 poiunds and in
            May at a whooping 5 pounds.

                       

          And it was J-lander's that helped me 
          handle Dallas when she wasn't so sure
          she wanted a little sister:


                      

      AOL J-land has always been a place
     where I could come and share good news
     and cry over bad news and the people that
      heard me cared.  Whic only makes me
       want to party even more:

                  

       Ballons bringing up the rear of the float:

   
 

            And the float's escort at the rear:

                          

         One the back of his car is this sign:

         

           So this is me:

                 

                signing off.
            Oh, and before any asks:


                                     

         Because she is just so dog gone cute    
      someone runs up to the rear and carries 
      this poster of Sadie.

So neat that we got a running commentary, with no commercial interruptions either!  This was a great way to do your Float, Kathy!  Your kitties are so cute.  A+ for Originality...  Albert
