She wrote a number of famous novels about Mardi Gras, the King & Queen, etc. I have wanted to see Mardi Gras ever since.

We went 4 or 5 times. The last time I was 18. This was back when they still had parades in the Quarter and Flamboes for the night parades and the beads were glass from Czechoslavakia, not the cheap tri-colored plastic things they throw now. They were gorgeous and worth getting but you absolutely did not want to get hit in the head with some.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849317861159929264.post-4176600578149114132010-01-22T08:04:45.404-06:002010-01-22T08:04:45.404-06:00Wow, those floats are just beautiful, a work of ar...Wow, those floats are just beautiful, a work of art in themselves!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03972054718663959694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5849317861159929264.post-4091917054191715922010-01-22T02:58:55.864-06:002010-01-22T02:58:55.864-06:00Listened to the clip, boy, you guys are noisy when...Listened to the clip, boy, you guys are noisy when you get going.
