Show us your beads..........

I didn't know they meant "THOSE BEADS !" Mardi Gras is alive and well in TV. We went early and stayed late and Freida managed to capture the best place to people watch.......the feathers, the purple and green, the outrageousness, the great music from 3 different bands around the Square. The Preservation Band was straight out of New Orleans with their version of "When the Saints Go Marching..... Next year you really should plan to come down for it......next up is St Patrick's Day and it will be another wild and crazy night with the showing of the Shamrocks.........

The next morning it was up and out early for the much needed hair treatments and cut.....and then off to see the Fairy Godmother. She is looking great and seems to still enjoy the full days of dressing up those little princesses and then spending the off hours being a kid again in the Magic Kingdom. We shopped, we ate, we shopped some more.

Tonight is Italian Night ..... our monthly neighborhood gathering for the Inner Circle neighborhood. They knew of my cooking skills and asked me to bring iced tea !!

Almost March and the weather is changing.......it was a lovely winter and now the temperatures are rising and a bit of the humidity is in the air....it won't be in full mode til May so you still have time to show up for the nice days. The golf courses have lost their winter brown and are all green and lush. The alligator mating season will be happening soon and they will wander all over in their search for love.... especially on the courses.

We had heavy rain on our drive home .... a real Florida downpour with the lightening and thunder and blinding road condition. It's hanging around this morning but I'm hoping for a dry spell to get the walk in. Already 70 degrees at 6 am. !

I'm off to find my Italian clothes........
