Let the Good Times Roll {One More Look!}

It was a great Mardi Gras season, but when you live one block off the major Uptown parade route it is certainly a marathon. Getting back to normal is always nice. I hope you enjoyed my Mardi Gras posts from the 2020 season. The decorations are picked up until next year in anticipation of the housekeeper tomorrow. Clean is always the best feel.

Enjoy!

Let the Good Times Roll {Happy Mardi Gras and Happy Birthday Jeff}

Today culminates the Mardi Gras season with a day full of parades and fun. The weather is nice, so it's a great day to celebrate all the season has to offer. It's been a non-stop two weeks for us.

Today also marks the 52nd birthday of the love of my life, J! I cannot believe that the city of New Orleans has helped me throw you a huge party. #backtojeff

Let the Good Times Roll {Courtyard}

Amanda from Dixie Delights reminded me through her insta stories that I hadn't shared the courtyard in its Mardi Gras splendor. The courtyard, located to the rear of the house, is where lots of folks congregate when the weather is good, so pray for good weather. It is also the place where J and I set up the bar with all the fixins. It's an easy way to keep the splashing and spillage of alcohol to a minimum. On nice weather days, the courtyard is perfect for our guests to sit and visit.
