What blocked your route?
For some of you getting to church this morning may have been somewhat eventful due to winter storms. We don't really get those. If it's wintry weather it's not really what you could a storm, per se. What we do get this time of year is Parades!
Today on our way to church we saw parade floats lining up, and on our way home had to detour a bit around another parade. Yes, Mardi Gras season has started. For residents of New Orleans it means adding a little time to get places in case you run into an unforeseen parade route. It means eating King Cake, being careful you don't chomp down on the plastic baby Jesus enclosed somewhere in the cake. It also means some evening and weekend entertainment coming up. I'm getting excited. This year I really want to go to some parades!
