Sweetie and I were just talking about how big the Mardi Gras is in the south. I have gone to events back in Cincinnati,indoor dress up parties, big and small, but here there are parades and week long activities. There is a big billboard in Leesburg announcing their Mardi Gras activities and someone mentioned how huge it was in Pensacola.

I imagine the weather is a factor.People can be outside more. I need to read today's paper to see what exactly is happening here and when. Isn't it great to be here where so many things are celebrated all of the time??

No 'official' parade for Mardi Gras in the last 2 years I've been here.

But the 'characters' form an impromptu version and parade around the squares.

On the webcam I see a large white tent at LSL Market Square. Is it there for Fat Tuesday festivities?

Just checked the web cams and both squares look packed and on the way into work this morning at 6:00 am it was 2 degrees. A lot of things wrong with that picture.

Hi y'all, I took lots of pictures today at the Mardi Gras and started to post them, but seeing the terrible news about Sadie Mae, I'm sorry I will have to post them another day. My eyes and my heart are just not in it. Sorry, I'm sure you understand. Kath
