1. 'Slow and steady wins the race'...tell us about a time this was true in your own life.
The only thing I can think of was being in a sack race many years ago. We always had a "Sadie Hawkins Day" at my college and one year my boy friend signed us up to compete in the sack race. We realized from the first step that in order to win, we not only had to cross the finish line before everyone else, but also upright and together. That required our every step being in sync. We did it and won by going
Maple Syrup would be my favorite. I use Maple Syrup in quite a few recipes from Pork Chops to green beans, but my favorite way to use it would have to be poured to overflowing on a stack of pancakes. No dry pancakes on my plate!

I am becoming more of a delayer than I used to be for sure. Before retirement, my job consisted of reports and deadlines, so I naturally carried this drive over into my daily life after retirement. It's been six years and I am proud to report that I have successfully retrained myself. Yesterday, I completed my task of making sure all our tax records were completed and ready to be taken to our CPA. The box is by the door ready for Dick to deliver today. Another year done!
6. Tell us three things you encounter regularly or even just occasionally that you find to be annoyingly slow.
1. Certain gas pumps
2. The time between visits with our children and grandchildren
3. Falling to sleep
7. March is National Craft Month. Are you crafty? Tell us about something crafty you'll try in the next thirty one days. Or something crafty you'd like to try or wish you had the skill to make happen.
I used to be crafty. Does anyone remember macramé or decoupage? I haven't done a craft project in over 20 years and don't plan to resume. I really haven't seen anything crafty that I would want to spend my time learning or working on. So, no crafty projects in my future.

What a wonderful view of the parade! Thanks for including the photos - it's fun to see how other parts of the country celebrate Mardi Gras. The Kings Cake is beautifully decorated. Yes, I remember macramé and decoupage. Did plant hangers and covered planters with fabric and decoupage. Enjoyed doing that type of crafting.
ReplyDeleteThat table of crawfish looks really good! I like your answer to #6. I should have said that too...time between visits crawls, and time together flies. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteI have celebrated Mardi Gras in Lafayette, La and Fat Tuesday in Opelousos, La and loved every minute of it. It was a hundred years ago when I was in high school. Looks like such a fun party! Have a wonder week!
ReplyDeleteWow...that parade and gathering is quite the sight! How fun! My daughter, Brittany, went to Mobile recently for Mardi Gras and got hit in the face pretty hard with beads. She said it HURT!
ReplyDeleteGood grief, I had no idea MG was soooo big in S'port! Beautiful pics. I've never been to one thing associated with MG. BTW, have you tried essential oils for your sleep issues? I've tried several but Serenity, by Doterra, a blend of oils, is the BEST for me. I put a couple of drops on each side of my pillow case, a drop on each wrist and each side of the back of my neck and it is amazing! And, I diffuse it on my bedside table.
ReplyDeleteWell I have always wanted to SEE or be a part of a mardi Gras celebration since it is not done here at all, and your pictures sure gave a good glimpse. I have a feeling I'd love it...at least the parade part. And why oh why I didn't think of the S L O W wait between seeing those New Mexico grands, because that would be my number one for sure. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI do delay things but it definitely feels good after it is done! Oh my, what a fun Sunday you had.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your answers and seeing all these colorful photos. I have never tasted crawfish and am not sure I really want to. It's good? You are soooo right about time between visits. When I first married, decoupage was the thing and so I tried it, too. But you are right about this not being a time to spend learning or doing crafts.
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I saw your comments in someone else's blog about maybe not blogging anymore. Please don't stop. I would miss you.
Just as I am is a wonderful slow song.
I was at the Highland Parade too!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I was also one of those who bought (it seemed like) a million king cakes!!
