One last Mardi Gras post: Just a photo which says it all:

[Keseys Ghost]

have not forgotten you. This is so lovely, the little sweeties.

2. Thanks, I needed that!

I've bookmarked this--I'll look at it next time I need to see the smile of an angel.

What a beautiful photo.

Welcome to DU!

7. Covington is across the lake from New Orleans

It is a progresive little town in the middle of RED STATE NATION.

We know who and what we are. Where we are and where we must go.

We don't hide our skeletons: http://politicalswitchboard.invisionzone.com/index.php?showtopic=8212&hl=

But we do celebrate our potential: http://www.bestofneworleans.com/dispatch/2005-05-24/news_feat.html

We just try to do the next right thing.

"WE" is all of us.

3. Hmmmm. Pic looks awfully white to me. (as in not representative of NO)

I wonder who the "we" are, that will be OK. :shrug:

[Keseys Ghost]

12. except

where's the blacks?

[CrazyOrangeCat]

14. Look at post #7.

[Keseys Ghost]

15. Not many blacks in Covington

But, those who are here are active, appreciated, contributing members of the community.

We have a long way to go.

And we are on our way.

16. You really want to know?

Scattered to the four corners of this once great country, most with no way back and no place to go back to.

Thank you mr. bu$h for destroying a vital part of our heritage.

25. ABC news did a report tonight

about some New Orleanians who have been relocated. FEMA is doing NOTHING to help them get back home, although many want to return. :grr:

You very kind people @ DU helped us find her after the storm.

And we love you for that.

Glad you are well and fun is being had.
But can I still hate the BushCo?

[Keseys Ghost]

We'll join you.

ONWARD!

30. Right on

I'm raising mine in the same vein. I think I'll not be so afraid to bring my little one to gatherings against the cons.

[Keseys Ghost]

31. Teach Your Children

26. I was down there for Mardi Gras

I have some Mardi Gras photos I will post later. For a reality check here are some photos I posted earlier: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=364x561384



Keith’s Barbeque Central

[Keseys Ghost]

27. Yep, but it's the reality we live with every day

On Mardi Gras, we took a break from all of that.

[kliljedahl]

28. I understand & appreciate that

I had extreme highs & extreme lows while there last week. I was in Mandeville when I lived there, not too far from you.

I hope you'll visit often and that, one day, our paths will cross.
