Another favorite is my purple and gold feather boa that I wear around my neck when street dancing. We have several Mardi Gras stores in town and I shop there for those fancy Mardi Gras necklaces and such.momi yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872004472199990134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071701596516386203.post-47686645045161394392012-03-05T11:50:29.386-06:002012-03-05T11:50:29.386-06:00Wow, I'm digging your collar - that's gorg...Wow, I'm digging your collar - that's gorgeous! <br /><br />Roxanne<br /><a href="http://thegoodluckduck.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Good Luck Duck</a>The Good Luck Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08448071993000984393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071701596516386203.post-21469688345589663552012-03-01T10:50:06.760-06:002012-03-01T10:50:06.760-06:00Hi Janice...

It was a blast. Now I just barely make one parade a season. Getting old I guess ;-)momi yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872004472199990134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071701596516386203.post-89983732287114093542012-03-01T09:22:44.547-06:002012-03-01T09:22:44.547-06:00I love the bright colors of Mardi Gras!

So I will cherish this photo.<br /><br />Mardi Gras parades can be a lot of fun. Day parades are mostly for families and children. Everyone tries to catch throws for the kids. Night parades are different. They can get really wild. Folks are drinking and kids are not the center of attention. I've had more fun at night parades. The floats are well lit and the float riders are wild and crazy and more generous with their throws. The atmosphere is more for letting your hair down. I haven't been to a night parade in years. Getting old I guess ;-)momi yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872004472199990134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071701596516386203.post-54322786446314872412012-02-25T18:55:57.647-06:002012-02-25T18:55:57.647-06:00Love the picture of you and Xi Shi in your drivers...Love the picture of you and Xi Shi in your drivers seat. It looks like a professional shot. <br /><br />What a fun day!

I started last year with this idea of going at the last minute to an area with a large parking lot and park my RV as close as I can get. Most folks park campers days before Mardi Gras day and just leave them parked along the parade route. I couldn't do that with my coach. I would worry too much about it. Next year I'm thinking of going several hours before the parade and do some cooking and dancing and really get into the festivities. Night parades are a lot of fun, too. It's been years since I've been to a night parade but may do so next year. We have a total of 8 parades during the season and 5 are night parades.momi yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872004472199990134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071701596516386203.post-11188023503650890162012-02-22T09:12:07.210-06:002012-02-22T09:12:07.210-06:00Hi JOJO...

If I see one I like at the Mardi Gras store then I buy it. I hang really nice ones on the inside of my front door.momi yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06872004472199990134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071701596516386203.post-52755737862704876342012-02-22T09:09:59.210-06:002012-02-22T09:09:59.210-06:00Hi Chris...
