Happy Mardi Gras, Y'all!



Religious or not, today is a day of feast and celebration and just plain having a great time.

Some may show up tomorrow with ashes on their foreheads, while others will just have an ice pack.

It will take a week to clean up the mess, as those who observe lent begin the period of denial.

Lent will lead to reflection for some and a chance to get back to work for others.

Easter will be see as a time of forgiveness and rebirth or a great opportunity to get together with family and play games with the children.

Whatever it is for you, I wish you a wonderful day!

L'aissez le font temps roule!
