Party Central

Before the parade partiers arrived I took some shots of the food spread inside. There are deviled eggs, party sandwiches and baby drum sticks with BBQ sauce - for dipping. Also, there was a Saints King Cake and purple punch.









Back Yard Bars

The back porch had several bar stations set up for parade guests. Cold temperatures helped keep some items chilled.

January Art Market of New Orleans

On January 31st artists braved a steady cold wind at the Art Market of New Orleans in Palmer Park. I forgot how cold the 40s could be with a wind chill added on top. Even with a borrowed blanket I was miserable. The sun stayed behind gray clouds all day. All sorts of folks walked by with kids and/or pets in tow. About 3 p.m. the person who brought our group tent decided to pack up. Thus we all took our art down and headed home.
