Hubby and I love to travel the backway which is the scenic route of Florida. The chance to see the farm lands of water melons, peanuts, oranges, horses, cows and goats are interesting. Of course, we are fascinated with the big houses along the country roads.
Traveling on the scenic route will not cut the miles of our road trips. In fact, it will take us longer hours but, the beauty of the small towns are just fascinating and charming for us. As long as the sun is up, we love to explore places around Florida. We armed ourselves with a map when there is no signal and a GPS most of the time.
Once in a while, we have road trips and we enjoyed it. When there are storms and heavy rain fall while we are traveling, we usually stopped in a gas station and let the storm pass by and we move on. 
By the time I have my license, we will explore the East Coast hopefully. From the East of Florida down to Miami and heading to the west of Florida, all the way to Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, we have been there. We saw the coastline and we are looking forward to see the coastline on the East Coast.

The first time I watched the Mardi Gras Parade I was very reluctant to wave my hands begging for beads. But when I looked around me, everyone was doing it and I had to join the fun. Screaming and catching the beads was totally fun. 
All the beads are beautiful but once in awhile, they throw away their finest, collectibles and extra ordinary beads. Most of the Mardi Gras floats reserve beautiful beads and those are the kind of beads most Mardi Gras goers wanted to catch. My family in Mississippi lived there all their lives and witnessed the Mardi Gras every year. They showed me their priceless collections of beautiful beads. Each one is totally unique, beautiful and a good collectible.
By January or February next year, we will be going to Mississippi and Alabama to see the Mardi Gras Parade. That will be exciting for me because I will donate all the beads that I gather to a school in the Philippines. So, my trip to the South would be for a cause.
Anyway, do you have the patience to make beads for business? I know a Website where you can buy it at affordable price: beadcrafty.com, you may check on this company anytime. 
Mardi Gras is fun! Come and visit the city of Ocean Springs and Biloxi Mississippi during Mardi Gras season. The bonding time for family, good food, and fun times will surely awaits you. 
The building at the far left is the Isle Hotel. The island that you see here is the Deer Island. Nobody lives in the island.
Have you experience that someone 
I was really amazed to see the big windows without any window treatments. Whatever you do inside, you would think that anyone who peep from the outside can see you, right? Well, I tried to see the exterior of the house and from there, I can never see anyhing inside. It is totally black. It would be different though at night when there is a light on.
I find the guest room so cozy and unique. This guest room has big windows and as I lay down to take a nap, I am seeing the trees and the backyard. No one will be seen there wandering though because the whole area was fenced in. It was very safe.
Here is the bed and beside that beautiful cabinet is the hallway to the bathroom. It is open and yes, the big window goes all the way to the bathroom. When you sit and do something in the bathroom, the view of the trees and the farm animals outside is what you will gonna enjoy.
If you hate the light, this is not the room for you. But, I love the natural light so, this guest room works for me. See the windows at the top? If it is a full moon, you can see it the whole time at night. I like the room and the hard wood floors. Some of the accessories in the room are vintage but, eclectic at the same time. I sleep good.
Anyway, we were just having a short vacation here in Mississippi. We stayed in the hotel with a casino so, we are currently having a blast down here. In this hotel, the decors are so elegant and the detail design of the ceiling to the flooring accents are all carefully put up together. This hotel is world class with 
It is a stone about 3 inches but, I was amazed by the art work. It is a tiny piece of stone but, the artist did a wonderful job of carving an image of a happy face. This is the kind of item that I wanted to buy for my collection. What can you say?
She told me that she is an impulsive buyer and most of the shoes in the closet she never use. Half of the time, she donates it and gives it to a friend. She wanted to give me one pair of shoes but, I am a size six and she is wearing a plus size. Anyway, she is a busy woman and after work, she loves online shopping. She is familiar of One Stop Plus and few of her favorite shoes are from this store. In fact, she loves One Stop Plus Website because it is a plus size store and everything she needs are there.
These are sculptures of the fish, sea horse, crabs and many more. They also have religious carvings, paintings as well as decorative wood products such as plates and large wooden spoons and forks. 
If I have to close my eyes and think about that day, I can smell the freshness of the air and it was a chilly day.
All the streets are crowded just like this one.
The streets are jam packed aside from the makeshift stage or tent built at the side of the road. Anybody can pay an amount to have a single space inside the makeshift stage.
Hubby and I are having a walk tour around the Business District of New Orleans. High rise buildings and famous malls, hotels and casinos are just nearby.
If there are big events in New Orleans, all vacant lots will become a parking lot which is a good business. 
I love Mardi Gras parade because the catching of the beads are interesting, exciting and fun.
On the Mardi Gras Parade, it welcomes every sector in the community. The registration is affordable and if you want to participate, you should need to have plenty of beads to give away and you provide your own car or truck.
I always look forward to every Mardi Gras in Mississippi and New Orleans. I never had any experience of what's it like in Alabama. We might go there next year to see their Mardi Gras Parade.
I miss the Mardi Gras this year because I spent my Christmas in PI. Next Year, we plan to be in Mississippi during the Mardi Gras celebration.
This was a 1939 movie and was also Shirley Temple's last major success as a child star and remains one of her most well-known movie.
I watch her version awhile ago and though it is an old movie, it was a good one. I like her acting and her dance moves and she is really pretty.

Let us not dwell on hatred and try to instill forgiveness into our hearts and minds. After all, we are children of God who loves peace! Good will always triumph over evil. God Bless America!
So, she just hang on to her cellphone the whole time, tweeting and checking on facebook. She hoped that I was with her instead. At least we can talk about music and we can talk about church activities and life's dreams. Sometimes, we are forced to be with people that we don't really associate. How I wish she was here with me too. Just to talk with the things that I am interested to talk about. It is good to talk to the person face to face right? Anyway, let us strive to be happy everyone.

My nephew is the second generation in the family, studying in the same school. When he took the exam for first grade, he rank number 2 among hundreds of pupils and he immediately chosen as one of the pupils for Science class. Now on his third grade, he was active in class as well as extra curricular activities.
We have no Science Class in our time, that was in the late 70's but, we do have first section in each level. The accomplishment of my nephew being in the Science class already brings pride to us. My nephew is active but, sometimes he complains that he had no time to play. He loves school and he likes to study but, since this is the generation of technology, he is also addicted to computer games. That is the biggest distraction to his studies. 
Today is his birthday and his wish is to have a McDonalds birthday party at school and a birthday party at home for family and friends. Not bad so; his wish was granted. 
These pictures were taken by his mom during their ethnic presentation at school. 
This is worth $5 (312g), bit pricey but for a good cause, it is nothing! Personally, the popcorn really taste good and it is 0 g trans fat, 0 g saturated fat and naturally sweetened so; it is healthy. This company supports the Scouts since 1980.
