Can you believe it? I, Hitty , have been asked to be the Grand Marshall 
for the Fourth of July parade! I realize it is still weeks  and weeks away, 
but my person has already made me the perfect dress, and decorated a straw hat 
to shield my delicate complexion from the sun. I’m told I will have a flag to wave, 
and a bouquet of roses!!!! There is even going to be a banner 
for the car…although I’m not sure I know what a “car” is. 
I suspect it is something like a buggy or wagon. I can’t wait!
