"Our personal parade"







Just a couple of weeks and it will mark the annual celebration of my arrival in the valley. Karl Malone, who was born on the 24th of July, arrived in Salt Lake on the 24th of July once upon a time a long time ago and for years he mentioned how the town had put together a large parade in honor of his coming. Last night we had a party and a couple of new folks in the ward came and I had previously mentioned to them that we had the party in honor of their moving into the ward. Likewise I recall around the first of October in 2003 I arrived late one Saturday evening here in the Albuquerque area. I got up the next morning I looked up and saw at least 700 balloons in the air celebrating my arrival, with me. So there, Karl. think I did about as good as you did. My parade was certainly "higher" in the sky. Course folks come out for these parades and celebration. One picture above is "Katie" watching "Karl's" parade way back when but then it might have been before Karl came. The other picture is Mike a different years.
