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

Lindt dark chocolate truffles.....yummy....

I have always wanted to go to Mardi Gras in New Orleans...or just New Orleans any time...

There are several churches in my area that have helped rebuild in New Orleans

Good to hear from you Eileen

Personality Plus

I found a new blog site ... /www.reneeswope.blogspot.com/ .....she talks about, Florence Littauer's book Personality Plus...in this book four personalities are mentioned 1. Phlegmatic 2. Choleric 3. 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.

Alas, every year I say “Hey, look at the birds”.   Unfortunately, no one listens, and they miss out. However, this year they accidently saw the birds, it was a fluke. They were so excited and talked for several minutes about this event. They acted like this was the first time it happened. Well…LOOK UP! The last 2 Christmases I saw dolphins in the water when looking out our condo window. Did anyone else see them? No, the computers, TV and cell phones were much more ...
