February musings

Hello all. Hope everyone is feeling chipper and having a nice February. We are off to the states on Wednesday to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. This is our yearly pilgrimage back to Minnesota for relentless partying then to Florida, this time, sadly, to say goodbye to my beloved Auntie Ada, who at 91 seems to have decided to make her next really BIG transition from this small planet to hopefully somewhere glorious. We will be gone two weeks and will miss - Carnival!

Too bad, really, since the parade literally passes below our window. So knwoing how many of you enjoyed all the yellow, green and red trappings last year, as well as the libations that went with it - here's a little preview of rehersals. Spring is in the air!
