I just received a suspicious email appearing to be from my bank....BEWARE!  I forwarded to the bank's abuse address.  How anyone could read the full paragraph and thing the bank would use the  phrase " implore you" and follow the link is beyond me.

Thanks for mentioning our Bishop Arts Mardi Gras Parade, Larry!  I'm ensconced in beads as we speak.  I liked it better when it came right down my street -- Bishop -- and we could stand in the front yard and troll for beads, but it's more "urban" now, going down Davis, and it's still righteous.

I can't believe that my old classmates don't know about the Mardi Gras happenings in good old Oak Cliff.  Spent yesterday afternoon down on Bishop Ave. with about 20K of my closest friends jumping to catch beads and drinking some adult beverages.  The parade had everything from Church members, to Boy Scouts, to traditional New Orleans-style floats.  It lasted two hours which means lots of people celebrating this event - both in the parade and out on the sidewalks.  Bands, crawfish boils, beer, and more beer !!  Ya'll need to wake up out there.

Ash Wednesday...is good.. Kind of different after all those years in the old Baptist World.. Speaking of Ash Wednesday and Elizabeth Taylor's movie..she wore this fantastic white fur hat in one scene. I found one in Nashville, years ago..I like that hat real well, and still wear it...but it doesn't make me look a bit like Elizabeth Taylor..(sigh)
    Claudia Jones Swain is on FB..Send her a message and ask her how the classes are..ceramic and otherwise at Cliff Temple.

          She's a former teacher in Dallas and Dallas Baptist, I believe...

I looked at Cliff Temple's website, too, and note they offer a ceramics class.  I think that's interesting.

Claudia Jones Swain... is a member and very active at Cliff Temple.. Her father was the Music Director at Grace Temple Baptist Church.. years and years ago. He has passed. His wife, 97, and Claudia came to my mother's funeral in October. Claudia's trying to talk me into coming to Cliff Temple when I come  back to Texas. At some point, I might visit. It depends on where I settle, as to whether I would attend on a regular basis.
    The selling point is Cliff Temple is out of the SBC.. They have seen the light...!  One of the first groups of Baptists that 'disagreed' with the SBC and their 'fundamentalist ways', was formed in Texas. You just never know...??

Ginger...who is your friend still at Cliff Temple? 

It is raining down here in South Texas and I am so thankful!  Our ranch ponds are filling up and the cows are happily ensconced in Green Pastures!!  Maybe we will get some hay cuttings this spring...Maybe.

Lent is coming..After Fat Tuesday...is Ash Wednesday.. For years the only thing I knew about Ash Wednesday..was Elizabeth Taylor's movie. Being a Methodist instead of a Southern Baptist, changes that.. Many people give up 'something' after Fat Tuesday, for Lent.  I like the 'ashes' thing on Wednesday. It's just a reminder of the season that's coming to us..
  First Baptist Memphis...does Ash Wednesday..here. I've heard they have added 'washing the ashes off'. to their ritual. First Baptist is also in the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and the Baptist World Alliance.
   I have a friend at Cliff Temple, in Dallas. Cliff Temple is in the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, too. No more Southern Baptist Convention for them, too. They probably do an Ash Wednesday, thing, too. All that partying, started out with the Catholics..down there in New Orleans.. Wouldn't mind seeing the Mardis Gras, first hand. Never done that.

The closest thing to Mardi Gras in Dallas that I know about is the St. Patrick's Day parade on Greenville Ave.  (Of course, I'm not exactly connected with the young rowdy crowd, so there may be a real Mardi Gras event somewhere.)  The parade used to be great fun -- marching Irish setters and their owners, the lawn chair men's drill team, and various homemade floats.  Occasionally somebody would toss beads toward the crowd.  The crowds have grown to huge proportions, and I don't consider 18-wheeler Budweiser trucks all that interesting to see up close.  It's not exactly family friendly anymore, and this year they needed $50,000 to cover the costs.  Mark Cuban came to the rescue, so we'll see how it goes!

WOW...what a fire hazard your eldest had.  Haaaa! 
 
I have friends that attend Mardi gras Balls and ride floats every year.  I don't get it, but I am neither a Catholic, a Cajun or a party animal...and they are!  I guess all starts on Tuesday.  Galveston has parades too.  I've been down there once....woo hoo! It is just a rowdy as N O just not as large.

 My daughter just took her real Christmas tree down last weekend. My eldest went to one of the 'Balls' last year and rode on a float in New Orleans Mardi Gras last year. Does that count?

I suppose it's time to take down the Christmas decorations and put up Mardi Gras.
 
Does anyone out there go to Mardi Gras?

I love Lindt/Lindor Truffles.. the Blue wrapper/dark chocolate is my favorite. The red wrapped ones are great, too. Kroger has them in a bag right now for $4.99. By the end of the week, I may have to treat myself..
   Michael's (craft store) of course you know that because they started in Texas didn't they..? Well, when you go to check out, they have the Red,Blue, and Gold wrapped Truffles..at the cash register.. $.49..I usually buy two and just 'relish' the few seconds they last.. I got Godiva chocolates, occasionally, when I was married but I do believe the Lindt chocolates..are just as good or better.. (I just made believers of my Hindu family, I work for..Now they are buying them..

I want to thank all of you for your suggestions. Lynell, if it makes you feel better to eat a chocolate candy occasionally I think you should go ahead and do it. Meanwhile, we figured out why our house is so cold we need a new thermostat.

After watching several shows about chocolate on the cooking channels, I went to Walgreen's today to pick up a prescription.  Well, guess what called my name from the candy area -- a Lindt Excellence dark chocolate bar with sea salt.  I know what to ask for as my final meal if I'm ever on death row.  I want a case of these. Meanwhile, maybe I will stay away from cooking shows.

Sometimes it took at least 2 hrs..just to get through Dallas.

Kathleen, here is your good news.......you are not in the hospital, you have shelter from this weather (even if you are cold... put on thick socks, heavier clothing and wrap up in a blanket) and you have a husband to share your time. I have so many friends who have very serious conditions now that I am counting my blessings and thanking God for each day. My mother is doing good and so is Sasha (my kittie) and the rest of my immediate family. I continually pray for those less fortunate than me right now.  So, there is you GOOD news.

Cathy, sorry, but not much good news from this front.  I'm happy to be retired and not worried about street conditions with this cold, so that's good news from my point of view.

Terms of Endearment.  I like that, Ginger.  We're not big on Hallmark holidays here, so that's fine with me!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I hate this weather. We have daffodils and my beautiful red camellias are blooming. Also, it is hard to keep the house warm. Bring on the springtime.
I am sorry to learn about the passing of Whitney Houston. If any of you have any good news to share, I could use the pick me up. Jud is right you can't go wrong with jewelry.

Also, there's sumpin' about buying flowers and charging them on the bill that Little Darlin' has to pay every month. Maybe this is why I'll be lucky to get a bag of little hearts with messages on them.
