Dinner tonight will be dirty rice and shrimp po' boys.

I have a few decorations for the table, colored bead necklaces and a great mask.

Today is the last day of Mardi Gras, correct? When does it start / how long does it last?

@traveler

And a happy one to you too.

I put Bailey's in my coffee this AM as I give up alcohol for Lent.

I was tricked. I was told Fat Tuesday was next week. Well, that other person will feel foolish. I will do something festive today.

I had a King Cake, green and purple grapes for my students at lunchtime, decorative paper goods, which they looked forward to. My class is serving the children's Mass tomorrow: altar servers, readers from the Lectionary, Responsorial cantors, ushers, gift bearer.

My children have worked very hard and practised their readings, especially as it willbe a 'full house' since ashes will be distributed.

A King Cake out of grapes? That's very clever and a nice idea
