Today is Mardi Gras, I don't celebrate it 'cause I live in WI.
However my dear friend Bethie does. She was impacted by Hurricane Katrina and now several years later it's still impacting people. (Beth included)
Right before Beth's wedding I was lucky enough to check out NOLA. What a cool city, and the people are beyond nice.
So why or why have we not done more to help those folks?
As this election year comes to be, question those politicians. We came together for 9/11 why is this different?
As many a celeb would say - MAKE IT RIGHT...
I have been watching Ellen and she as many know is a native of NOLA.
Thus my soapbox rant... I apologize.
One of the best ways to help.
Go visit, and not just for Mardi Gras. It is a great place even without all the beads.
Yummy food, warm weather, cool things to see, and really nice people.

Yay Caprise!!
I think NOLA is more fun without the Mardi Gras madness anyway, it has a quiet decaying grace that I love. :)
Yay Caprise!
P.S. A box fulla Mardi Gras beads is on its way to you!
