Rosie has adopted from the Foster Care system just like we did. Our own Princess Whinalot …

The Original Krewe of Orpheus rolled last night in Mandeville and hubby had a fabulous day, beginning with golf at 8:30 and ending after 11 with the end of the parade in walking distance from our house. My curiosity got the …
As most of you know, I have been working on Operation Overseas Mardi Gras this year with Soldiers’ Angels. In 5 weeks, we managed to get out over 700 packages to 3 Louisiana Guard units. This e-mail I received yesterday, makes every ounce of effort worth it! Dear Ms. Perry: I want to let you …

Here is a little glimpse of a small parade and Family Gras. The funniest things is the girls couldn’t wait for Jesse McCartney to perform and then they did not believe it was him!

Friday the 13th is whenthe Krewe of Eve (women’s parade) rolls in Mandeville. This is my first time riding and I’m so excited. I have so much to learn, but Yoda Debbi (she invited me in) is teaching me the ropes. The best tricks she taught me is how to save money. Since I was …
