Mardi Gras

Today was Mardi Gras and you wouldn't have known it if you were in Ruston. Of course, growing up in South Louisiana, I know that today is Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday as some people refer to it.

I was a little sad today when I was sitting at work and my family called to wish me a happy Mardi Gras while they were out enjoying festivities or just relaxing at home. I just wanted to say that I know what Mardi Gras is suppose to be like, visiting with family and friends enjoying the day.

Even though we live in Louisiana, north and south Louisiana are completely different. The food, the culture and the festivals. But for now, up in north Louisiana I will celebrate listening to the Mardi Gras Mombo dancing with Maggie. :)

P.S. - I will not even talk about the quality of King Cakes up here. (I miss Dad's King Cakes, they were the best).
