Good Morning ALL- I allowed myself the luxury of sleeping "late"(8am)...I have got to pace myself, for my "truck Float ride, tomorrow after Argus, in Metairie, LA (Debbie, you know what I am referring to)
So I am relaxing here for a bit before I continue to wrap up some office work and take off the rest of the day to get myself and all of my stuff (Mardi Gras beads, stuffed toys, loads of plastic cups, etc.) over to my friends house. We have to leave in the wee hours of the morning to get all of our "throws" over to the where the truck float is parked, so it can be loaded up and we leave around 6am to go to the parking lot at Clearview Shopping Mall, where all of the truck floats line up and wait.
They have "judging" of the floats in the parking lot between 8:30am-9:00am ish, and then we just wait until it is time to roll...
There are two truck float parades that follow ARGUS, the main Mardi Gras parade, in Metairie, LA. We will be the second one this year and are in the Krewe of Jefferson Truck Float CLub, truck #14.
It''ll be a loooong but funfilled day.....HAPPY MARDI GRAS, everyone !!
The weather is supposed to be perfect (cool and clear):king: :sohappy: :sohappy: :sohappy:
