Laissez les bon temps

.............rouler

This is for you Co

Mardi Gras Memories (one year later)

I remember.............

Driving to NO to meet a girl and her family that I had only "met" through the net.

Hearing your strong sure voice guiding us as we crossed the bridge over Ponchatrain.

Hugging you for the first time and how it felt like it had always been.

Being enveloped in the spirit and the love that is family

Falling off my perch, poking a hole in my pants and bounching back for more.

Being lifted up, dusted off and offered solace (ie another libation)

Finding out that, family is not only what you are born into

But what you MAKE of it.

Laiseez les bon temps rouler mon cherie.

I'll be wearing my oyster and HOT sauce throw....ALL DAY for you tomorrow!
