A little about Mississippi, a little about Louisiana, a little about New Orleans and A LOT about our adoption story. This blog and our adoption story is dedicated to Camryn and Matthew Cassreino so that you both will know. Copyright 2021 by Terry R. Cassreino
MADISON, Miss. (Monday, Dec. 29, 2008, 11:15 a.m.) – Now that Christmas is over, Pam, Camryn, Matthew and I are busy preparing for the New Year.
Nope, we won’t be hitting the clubs or the party circuit on New Year’s Eve. It’s possible we might travel to Slidell – but that’s pretty iffy at the moment.
Actually, if I do travel to Slidell I will have to spend some time shopping for Carnival and the Krewe of Endymion.
I ride in Endymion, the largest Carnival organization in New Orleans with more than 2,500 members. The parade attracts 1 million-plus people to the streets of New Orleans; I’m on Float 7-A this year.
I already bought the majority of my beads; now I need stuffed animals and other throws. And if we head to Slidell this weekend, I may try to complete my parade shopping for this year’s event.
The parade, of course, is just one part of the next two months. Pam and I will attend the Endymion coronation ball on Jan. 31, the open house at our den Feb. 7 and the Endymion Extravaganza the night of the parade Feb. 21.
We also plan to take Camryn and Matthew to New Orleans for the parades. Camryn absolutely loves Carnival parades; it will be interesting to see what Matthew thinks.
