Fat Tuesday!

Today is 

Fat Tuesday!

What is Fat Tuesday,

you ask?

  

Here is some information I found....

   

Fat Tuesday is the last day of the Carnival season.  

Mardi Gras is French for "Fat Tuesday."

 

Fat Tuesday is the cause of 
many events and festivals.

 

Fat Tuesday falls on the day before Ash Wednesday, 

which begins the season of Lent.

 

Lent is a time of fasting and praying and concludes the

Saturday before Easter.

 

This also includes the custom of making 
pancakes in order to use up 
fat, eggs, and dairy products which were 

traditionally restricted during the fasting of Lent.

 

In some countries this is known as Pancake Day.

 

The official colors of Mardi Gras are 
a part of most celebrations as well.  
The colors are green, purple, and gold 
and they represent faith, justice, 
and power, respectively.

These were chosen by the

 Grand Duke Alexis Romanoff 

of Russia.

 

There you go!

Now you have some information about this day!

 

Have a FUN 

Fat Tuesday, my friends!

Maybe we should all go to New Orleans,
what do you think?

 

For now I think I will go and make some

PANCAKES!

Later -- Remington --

could you pass the strawberries, please....

out!

Monday....

Welcome Monday!

The start to another great week!

 

We had a very relaxing weekend....

didn't do much of anything....

Mike did do his homework.....

Beth and I did "some" quilting but

she said she messed up on something and 

would have to tear it apart and didn't

want to do that because she was upset....

I think she did that while 

I was out playing football -- 

just couldn't wait....you know how it goes.

 

So we will tackle that another day.

 

Mr. Ripley relaxed in the sun --

Ozabella played with her doll....

Quiet times are sometimes the best....

 

I heard on the radio that 

we are suppose to get 

SNOW!

 

So I am anxiously awaiting....

 

Best go and look out the window and

see if it's here yet!

 

Later -- Remington --

Snow football -- now that would be fun!

-- out!

Friends....

I am SO thankful for friends....

Yesterday the Blogger gave me quite a scare....

They DELETED my blog!

I was so scared it was gone forever.....

but with the help of my fellow bloggers

Jack and Madi....
(click on their names to check out their awesome blogs!)

they helped me through it!

First  I contacted Madi and her mommy

 by telephone they

  quickly posted on their blog that I 

was having trouble.  They guided me through

some of the new things that the blogger has

come up with....

Then I got contacted  

Jack and the Tall Guy.  
They are miracle workers....

they know their way around the computer!
We were on the telephone 
for a LONG time and sent
many emails!
 I couldn't have done it without their help!

Needless to say --

it's back!

And I am grateful to have

such knowledgable and caring friends!

you are the BEST!

I hope everyone 

has a fun weekend

and nothing like this

ever happens to you!

No problem, Rem....

   

I went to the book store and found a
