Mardi Gras

We left yesterday for Elk City, OK (right off of I-40 on the way to Amarillo) to go to the Mardi Gras party. It's been a couple of years since I've been out that way (last time was with the Girl Scout troop). They've built several wind farms along the way so I thought I would take a video of one that was really close to the highway.



Here are some pictures of Joe and his hunting buddy, Jonathon in their Mardi Gras masks and Joe and me. We had dinner at Jonathon's mother's home in Elk City (think ginormous spread out mansion with library, conversation pit, all inlaid tables, huge windows, etc. Jonathon made crawfish and shrimp etouffee, everything was decorated with mardi gras beads, masks, etc. It was gorgeous! The jester's mask was the centerpiece on the big dining room table.
