According to my calendar, Fat Tuesday and the Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of Lent, are next week. Which means we are in the midst of Carnaval, or Mardi Gras if you prefer, here! This cutie was a part of the local school parade today. :-)We continue the celebration through the weekend. Tomorrow friends are coming to dinner and Sunday, if you haven't heard, is Cupid's day. I know, I know, but Valentine's was celebrated long before Hallmark hijacked the holiday, and one doesn't need to buy into the commercial hype to still make the day special. We're doing simple homemade paper cards and heart-shaped baked goods at The Happy Recessionist's house.
Have a GREAT weekend, everyone! And don't forget to remind the special people in your life how very loved they are!!!
