HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

Glad you're getting some sunshine. That boat parade sounds neat. Sound like you will be doing up "Fat Tuesday" in a big way. I think we always knew it as Shrove Tuesday; maybe the Fat Tuesday name comes from the Mardi Gras celebrations. We had the race on, too, after I reminded Dennis that it was on. When they stopped it, he went out to the garage and I turned it to Olympics. Later he came back in and checked and it was back on so he watched the rest of it. I was tired and so napped during some of it.
ReplyDeleteI will look forward to seeing the pictures of the boat parade. That sounds really neat. Fat Tuesday is actually the Tuesday before Lent begins when everyone eats a lot because of fasting during the Lenten season. A lot of people give us something for Lent so they want to consume more before it starts.
ReplyDeleteBasicaly they are the same thing. Shrove Tuesday is the English or Anglican name. Mardi Gras is the French term for it. Very popular in New Orleans because that is a town settled by the French. Same thing in St. Louis - again, settled by the French. BTW, did you know that St. Louis has the second largest Mardi Gras festivities outside of New Orleans?
