“Hat’s on Parade!” by Linda Martin Andersen
Today, we march at “A Writer’s Playground” to celebrate the one year birthday of this blog. Hooray! Below, are photos sent to me by followers who wanted to be part of this parade. You can join in too.
First, find your favorite hat and march at home. I chose to wear a jester hat because it reminds me to love life and bring joy and laughter into the world even when life isn’t always funny. Please tell me about the hat you’re wearing and why you chose it.
Let the parade begin! Don’t be shy.

Sherell, a terrific certified nursing assistant. Congratulations on being accepted into nursing school!

Joan Edwards. Since I am a great fan of ducks, in 2010 I was glad that I was able to talk my sister, Judith and her family into joining me on the Ride the Ducks Tour in Seattle. We had a great time. I bought this silly hat. I was even able to share about my book, Flip Flap Floodle with people riding the boat/bus there. It’s cool because the boat has wheels to roam through the city and is also able to float on the water all in the same tour.

Please leave a comment about your favorite hat and its significance. I look forward to having you join in with Hat’s on Parade.
