    Oh, too bad you have to miss it, it sounds really nice.
    My brother-in-law is celebrating Mardi Gras in his church tonight, it's sort of a welcome home to church members who just got back from rebuilding in New Orleans, last year he made the trip but this year he wasn't able to go. We went to the Mardi Gras at his church last year and if the weather cooperates we'll be going tonight too.

    Today, I'm filling up on Lindt dark chocolate truffles because I will be giving them up for Lent along with a few other things!
    Happy Fat Tuesday!
    All the best,
    Eileen

Sanguine 4. Melancholy I have not only read this book and taken the personality test years ago, but I had the privilege in going to a church Woman's conference and Florence was the guest speaker in 1996. She is an excellent speaker, and the book is quite interesting. I have taken several personality test, through the years either in school or through work. I have read "Please Understand Me II" by David Keirsey about temperament, character and intelligence and "Now, Discover Your Strengths" by Marcus Buckingham and Donald Clifton, PhD.
