My Bucket List is not very long because just about anything I have made up my mind to do...I've done. But one thing still on it was decorating a float for the Rose Bowl Parade. When my dear friend Loretta called and ask if I wanted to go with her to work on the Cal Poly float....I jumped at the chance. Being women who love to share we invited along four other friends. What a wonderful time we had! Loretta and I have had our florist license so we had some experience. But there is so much to do on a float; willing hands are all you need. Everything has to be covered in natural products. For example, onion seeds were used to cover the spokes on the bicycle wheels. So if you ever get the chance...go for it. The Cal Poly folks take volunteers.
Loretta and I told the woman, who has been in charge of that float for many years',..."we are here as willing hands...it is your show...just tell us what you want us to do". She was lovely to us. It was so much fun being able to use all of the flowers we wanted to and not worry about the cost. We had seats reserved for us at the stand where HGTV was filming the parade. You can imagine the joy and pride we felt when our float came by. Yea!
