Mardis Gras Beads!!! YAY!

Hi, Beth!!!

Thank you for the super fabulous Mardis Gras beads! I LOVE them!! What a fabulous package to get in the mail yesterday! I really really love the mushrooms - I might have to keep those one up permanently in the sun room.

I have them all hanging on the fireplace right now...is there a tradition on where and how and for how long they should be displayed in the house? Seems with all the traditions down there, there's probably one about this, too. :)

Thanks so much! I hope the HRM is still working great for you!

Hugs and party butterflies,

25 years ago, my college roommate was from Mobile Alabama, the actual birthplace of Mardi Gras in america. It's a big deal there, so all the guys from Mobile in my fraternity would go there to celebrate.

So, I went too (although, even then, I wasn't into hedonism). I'm standing there in this crowd of crazy people thinking "boy, this is stupid!"...but then, from one of the floats coming my way is an ENTIRE BOX OF MOONPIES!!! This is MARDI GRAS GOLD!!!

Well, I caught that box of Moonpies and caught the spirit as well...

and I hope that 12 year old kid I accidentally knocked upside the head has forgiven me!:o :o
