Good question...I don't remember.

Glad you had fun Kathy, I have a few weeks to wait for my ball, it's on the Friday before Mardi Gras, gonna be a long weekend Friday Night the ball Monday lunch the Kings luncheon Monday night the parade and party, guess I better start my shopping, but gotta loose the 10 lbs I gained at Christmas first.

Have fun! I can't wait till it gets rolling here. I haven't even found a dress to wear to the ball here but will before Feb. David's organization has their ball the Saturday before Fat Tuesday so I have a while.

My feet still hurt! Bre...wear flat shoes to the ball...no one will ever see them and you'll have much more fun! Enjoy yourself at Xanadu! I was a member of that krewe for a short time and they have a good ball.

Laissez les bon temps roulez!!

I work this weekend, so I won't get to really celebrate until next week's festivities, but that's when the best parades are held.

You guys have made me soo homesick....enjoy the festivities! I was the guest of the Queen for the Krewe of Apollo in Shreveport one year....what a fun Krewe...I think it was one of the most fun events of my life!!!!

Got the ball gown and it had to be altered all done now just need the shoes and I think I will take Kathys advise flats it will be

I hope everyone participating in Mardi Gras has a wonderful and safe time. It's great to see New Orleans going on with the show.

It rained and rained and rained and rained all day today but did it rain on our parade? NO!!!!!! I was impressed with the crowds that showed up. I'm exhausted and cold...as silly as it seems it is hard work throwing beads for 2 hours!!!!! But i'd do it again in a heartbeat!!!!

Bre...how was the ball?
