Happy Mardi Gras
Today is Fat Tuesday and we are about to head out in our costumes to the Marigny to catch the St. Anne parade as it wends through the French Quarter all on Mardi Gras day. We’ve eaten our weight in king cakes, we’ve caught sparse amounts of beads having sat out a great deal of our parades due to illness, we’ve played our Mardi Gras playlist and heard Mardi Gras mambo, mambo, mambo, Mardiiiii Gras maaaaaambo, down in New Orleans at least 80 times.
My neighbor reconfigured the shopping cart as the Concordia, my other neighbor is hunting a grey cape to disguise his devil’s tail, we have our sandwich boards ready and so, one mo’ time.
C’est le bon temps rouler.
