cj Sez: No problem if your Cajun French is rusty: “laissez
les bon temps rouler” (pronounced "Lay-say le bon tom roo-lay") only
means “let the good times roll.” The excitement kind of looks like this:
The Mardi Gras parades in and around Mobile just keep on rolling,
and rain can’t dampen the enthusiastic crowds with hands reaching out to catch
the throws flying off the floats.

Only two weeks to go!
Hey, all you young writers (and your teachers) in Mobile and
Baldwin, AL, counties, the last date to submit a short story to the Mobile Writers
Guild for the Tracy Hurley Fran Driscoll Contest is only two weeks away.
The Mobile Writers Guild is sponsoring a Writing Scholarship
contest calling for submissions of short story fiction written by students in
grades 6 through 12 in Mobile and Baldwin counties.
The process goes like this:
Write your story, edit it, get it proofread (the more eyes that
read it, the better), polish it some more, and submit the manuscript to the
Guild by February 26 for a chance to win a ca$h prize. (Be sure to follow the instructions.)
§§
Also happening in two weeks . . .
Stop by Lyrical Pens on February 26 when we feature a guest
post by Darlene Dziomba, writing about her five-year journey to get “Up Close
and Pawsonal,” the second book in her Lily Dreyfus series, ready to launch.
§§
For your reading enjoyment
Here are a couple of Mobile Writers Guild anthologies, chock
full of a variety of short stories that transcend their popular holiday themes.
And the Ebooks are sale-priced, too!
§§
That’s it for today’s post. You-all guys keep on keeping
on, and I’ll try to do the same. Raising prayers for your health and safety.
