The "beat" of friends and family celebrating is the best "beat" of all.
The weekend started off with a birthday party for Paul Begnaud.
Paul was 92 years old. Vannie and Dave picked up their friend, Gordon, and
headed to the party. Lots of folks, food, fun..!!!
The king is in his counting house counting out his money.
Paul lives in an old bank building that he renovated.
The kitchen is actually built in the old vault.
"Ole King Cole was a merry ole soul"
The king and his subjects
Dave used to work for Paul in the drapery business.
He attributes Paul to teaching him so much about drapes...
making them, hanging them, and pleasing the customers.
Dave used to work for this pretty lady, too...Coleen Vigé.
Coleen bought Paul's business, and she is still making and designing drapes.
The king's palace...Paul lives in an old bank building
right in the middle of Scott. His art collection is phenomenal.
Well, looky here...dueling airstreams.
Kathy and Howard and their Airstream arrived for the weekend.
They were coming in to see the big Youngsville parade.
It was so nice to have another Airstream to "shoot the bull".
Remember...Kathy and Howard actually own this property.
The City of Youngsville had lots to do to get ready for the big parade.
Here are some barricades waiting to block off hoards of people trying to catch beads.
Everybody loves those beads. They just seem to want more and more.
They are shiny and pretty...and I do like shiny.
The Hot Item for this year's Mardi Gras...Boudin King's cake
V and D loved it.
Boudin is in the middle, cracklin's on top, and Steen's syrup drizzled all over.
Perfect for breakfast before the parade at 11:00.
What a beautiful day for a parade...and a cookout.!!!
I was all a-dither.
Grandson, Cooper, digging in to a yummy burger...
Now...those beads are big enough for me.
Throw me something, Mister.!
Kathy, Dave, Diane, Ashley waiting for the parade...
Love those suspenders, Dave...and that hat is the "cat's meow"...
Peace to you, too.!
The beat of the drum announced the coming of the Comeaux High School Band.
P L E A S E ...More beads...
The Tabasco Dancers
Even I can see that they are HOT...
I loved this purple one.
Look at that loot.!
Hope they were careful when they stood up.
Burgers, Baked Eggplant, Potato Salad
There were beef burgers and chicken burgers.
Diane, Ashley, Cooper
T-Pop and Papa
Dave and Ashley
Cooper calls Ashley Papa, so Dave is T-Pop, which means Little Pop.
Howard and Kathy Matt
Airstream Buddies and our Landlords
The Parties Over...
It's been a great one.
Leaving for Austin, Texas tomorrow...
...and the "beat" continues...
