it's mardi gras. helen is having her big do in iowa, la. she does it every year. momo helen is damon's grandma. she's a total louisianan born and raised in a community not far from lake charles.
when he was younger i wanted him to be able to identify with all that he is. so i took it upon my self to find her and let him spend as much time with her as possible. his dad didn't care too much to introduce the two so i did a quick internet search and found her.
she knew about us but not much more than that. today, the relationship isn't all that great, but it's there and i'm satisfied with that. he knows his family, they know him.
so anyway back to mardi gras.
her's starts out with a chicken run/trail ride and then an all-you-can-eat gumbo fest wher later in the evening it's dancing until midnight to a zyedeco band or two.
we've been a few times and had lots of fun but i can only do so much zydeco so to me it's good enough that mardi gras only comes once a year. we are not attending this year.
