Galveston - third largest? Never would have guessed! We just had king cupcakes for our faith formation class - so much fun! Thanks for mentioning the socks with the 'grippers' on the bottom - we are going to need them for our guests in our new log home so they don't slip on our stairs! Happy Fat Tuesday to you!
Great photos - love the poem for the robin. I've not had a king cake before - had to look it up - sounds delicious. I adore sticky-foot socks, as I don't ever wear shoes unless I'm going to town. I even forgot last year at my husband's big birthday bash - lots of his coworkers were here and I realized halfway through the party that I was out on the lawn in the midst of the party in bare feet. Oh well, they should be used to me now.
Oh, how I long to see a robin again. Too much snow -- not happening here soon! But those socks are just the best. Really cute. I love socks and these would definitely find their way into my collection!
Mardi Gras always sounds like such fun. They featured King Cake (which I had never heard of) on the "Chopped" show the other night., Haven't seen any robins here yet. I want the Smitten Kitten socks.
What a fun collection (love those sox)..... AND the memories of Mardi Gras from the winter we spent near Mobile (which I assume is the second largest?...) anyway, people there told us that New Orleans stole the party from them ;>).... anyway it was one of the coolest things we experienced in our full-time traveling life. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we had absolutely NO idea about what it was all about. Let the good times roll! (I learned to say and write that in French when we were there, but it has been too long and that knowledge has left my weak brain.).
Looks like a lot of fun. And the socks are so cute!!! Poor Robin (what has the google translator done with the words... - better to read in English!) Have a good new week
Looks like lots is happening in your corner. Beautiful lily and very cute socks. I don't like wearing shoes very much either. Enjoy that last piece of cake.
Your amaryllis is beautiful! Mine is still in the bud stage barely out of the bulb. I like those socks - perfect for Valentine Day. No robins here - it's finally snowing a bit. Enjoy your festivities.
I didn't know that about Galveston. We love Galveston. I also love King Cake! I should have picked one up this year. Thanks for sharing at Keep IN Touch. Katie @ Let's Add Sprinkles

I walked to the drug store to pickup Teddy's heart meds.
(He's doing fine.)
I found these Valentine socks.
They are the non-slip kind with the little plastic dots on the bottom.
Perfect for someone who doesn't like shoes!!!
Score!
And, they are cute!
