...so very cold...

As you can probably guess by the title of this post,we are no longer in Florida.

We are in serious buzzkill mode. Following our split week in north Florida,we spent a week in Kissimmee. 2 days at Disney and a day at Universal. There was a major debate amongst folks as to which is better. I would have to say that while Universal has the better rides,there are fewer of them than at Disney,and also the atmosphere at Disney supercedes all else. I seem to be in the minority with my opinion. Also got to visit the Orlando Shakespeare Theatre,where my old Foothills Theatre director Bob Dolan is the new Education Director.

But back to the point - why are we in buzzkill mode? Because yesterday we were in sunny Orlando,and today we are in Grand Rapids MI. No offense to the fine people of Michigan,of course,but it's 20 degrees and snowing here. Next week we get more of the same,as we will be in South Bend IN. After that,a break!

Gumbo

Houma,Louisiana. Down in the bayou. Cajun accents so strong it's hard to decipher them. They put on a great Mardi Gras party here. We're only an hour from New Orleans but I avoided it like the plague until after Fat Tuesday. I would someday love to go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras,but only if I can book it WAAAAAAY in advance and have a hotel room right there. Our ad for the show is playing all over SE Louisiana apparently. It's an odd experience sitting in a Bourbon Street bar drinking Hurricanes,and to then glance up at the TV and see yourself in a pony costume.

Marissa went back to school,so we have a new Pinkie Pie,Janelle.

Florida split week next week - Panama City and Tallahassee.
