Well it is mardi gras season and lots of parades, festivities and partying abound! for the past 2 weekends.

That means good food and dance and drink and fun!
No parades today but one monday (lundi gras) then a king cake party.
then off for fat tuesday where there will be parades all day and tents set up with people barbequing all along the 3 mile parade route up to the fair grounds. we may walk the entire way. Jeff likes to get chicken on a stick from the food vendors at the fair. and I like to ride the ferris wheel. but the 3 mile hike back to our car is tough. We may or may not do that this year.
It is family friendly not like new orleans which is adult oriented.

Even the mail shuts down for mardi gras!

Jeff is off work monday thru wednesday. which is ash wednesday the starting of lent. WE are not catholic but the vast majority of the residents here are. and they will more than likely give up something for lent. a friend of ours gives up alcohol. He does so to prove to himself that he is not an alcoholic.

I leave on saturday for florida with my family. It should be fun. talked to my sister tonight there are items that I did not think about that I need to figure out.

I just ate the last of the halloween candy 3 small recees peanut butter cups. yum
