I apparently wrote this almost two months ago and forgot to post it!!
I can hardly believe that it’s still February and Mardi Gras has been over for a week already!

Speaking of, we had a wonderful visit with Bob, Helen, Cara, Nicholas and Abigail. Although they couldn’t stay for Lundi Gras or Mardi Gras, we still packed a lot of partying into a short period. Muses, a swamp tour, a visit to a wild animal park, shopping in the French Quarter during a deluge… and of course, “Bacchus Sunday”!!! I was pretty amazed that we all made it all the way through to the very end of Bacchus! And the three king cakes from Manny Randazzo’s bakery were a perfect addition to all the goings on.
Of course, when in New Orleans you must eat like New Orleanians do, so we started off the visit with takeout from Popeye’s. Delicious!! Over the course of the four days our guests were here we went to New Orleans Food and Spirits for lunch, Fuji Hana for a hibachi dinner, I made bacon and eggs for breakfast, and Reginelli’s pizza restaurant. Good food, GREAT company!!
H2 had to work 12 hour shifts throughout the Carnival season, so we missed seeing him as much as we’d have liked, but he was well represented by H2FGFNW. KenEllie braved the cold, early morning and crowds to secure us a good spot uptown to from where to watch the parades on Bacchus Sunday. The Green Lantern made a surprise appearance! It was a pleasant surprise to see Josefina, as well!
Happy Birthday to BB, who turned the big 11 last weekend!! She’s growing so fast.
On a more personal side, I had the first of three rounds of shots in my knees this week. A synthetic form of the fluid contained in a rooster comb, believe it or not, was injected into the knee to provide lubrication and cushioning back into the joints. I hope it works well, and doesn’t have any unwanted side effects, like crowing in the early morning?!?!
Linda is getting ready to have surgery on her knee for a torn meniscus in March. Please include her in your prayers.
UPDATE: I had all my knee shots. They seem to have helped, although not as much as I had hoped. Linda is recovering from her knee surgery quite well. She's finishing up her physical therapy this week, and will be back to work soon.
