It is Carnival time which means a lot of parades and marching. This past weekend Gracie was to march in the Olympia parade in Covington. It was of course cold and rainy, and they got pulled right before lining up to march. We were sad they couldn’t march, especially it being her Senior Year, but she and I were able to spend some time together. She will be marching in the Krewe of Pepe parade on February 19th. If y’all happen to be on the route, give us a shout!
