Partying in Louisiana, in the USA today!
There will be one winner for today’s stop.

Today was not my scheduled day along this tour but we had a no-show, so I’m filling in…last minute, so you guys won’t feel let down. And, even though it was a last-minute put-together, nevertheless, this will be a fun party!
First, I’d like for you to click HERE, just to get this party started! Leave the volume up, so you can get a real feel of how we party in the USA!
Now, make your way over to the
(Ignore that distracted looking bartender…wait on the other guy)…
Order your favorite
…because we really do have EVERYTHING!
Look around, find the
(…yea, don’t get too close to that crowd).
Go on, start moving your body…and go ahead and wave at your old FRIENDS across the dance floor, who do nothing but hang out in bars. (I know, some of them are waaaaaaaaaaaay past that stage in their life…or, at least they should be. Why don’t you tell them?)
No, I didn’t mean those friends…
I meant… these friends…
Yeaaaaaa, like I said, you should probably tell them, especially John Howell, before he does another break dance. (Dear God).
(Yep, it’s preeeeeeety scary seeing him do that.)
You might wanna steer clear of Ms. Shirley, too. When she’s had a little too much to drink, I’ve seen her climbing on top of tables.
Yea, that’s not a good sight, either.
Now, Ms. Joy…
oh, hell…would somebody just go and get her?
The message behind this post today is:
FRIENDS DON’T LET THEIR FRIENDS (WHO HAVE THE PROPENSITY FOR DISPLAYING EMBARRASSING BEHAVIOR), GO OUT IN PUBLIC!!!
Thanks for dropping by today, guys! Do me a favor and check out one of my favorite titles:

Geesh, thought I was at Mardi Gras! Was a little sleepy by not long with Miley on!! I’d love to break dance but I’m already broke so I’m heading to the bar before John drains that bottle of scotch. it looks like a good year. It was so nice of you to jump in for whoever didn’t make it. I have most of your books but I’ll go for the poetry next. Hearing good things about it. Enjoy the rest of the party and the best part is you don’t have to do this again. Actually, I don’t want to take down or post over my 2 blogs, I love the comments so much.

I was in Louisiana for the 100th Anniversary of our Claver organzation and seeing the Mardi Gras, and experiencing the culture was beyond anything I had ever seen before. Up here in Michigan I got to experience a friend’s father’s funeral complete with all the brass horns and rhythmic dancing down the aisle at St. Cecelia’s in Detroit. I loved it. You can tell I don’t get out much. lol. If I ever get invited down there again, I will be sure to get some of your gumbo soup Nonnie!!.
