THE KREWE OF REX
WHEN MY SISTER LIVED IN NEW ORLEANS I USED TO GO TO MARDI GRAS AND ATTEND THREE TO FOUR PARADES A DAY. THE FLOATS WERE BIGGER THAN LIFE WITH LOTS OF WILD COLORS. I WOULD BRING HOME A WHOLE SHOPPING BAG FULL OF COLORFUL BEADS AND BOXES OF PECAN PRALINES. MY BROTHER IN LAW WOULD MAKE GUMBO IN THE BIGGEST POTS I EVER SEEN. THEN WE WOULD DRINK HURRICANES AND EAT PO BOY SANDWICHES. NOW THAT I'M JUST A LITTLE OLDER THE CROWDS WOULD BE A LITTLE MUCH FOR ME BUT I STILL HAVE MY MASK AND BEADS AS A REMEMBERANCE.
