Good Morning or afternoon for some...I am off today, yea&#33;<br /><br />My prayers go out to those who are facing medical or personal needs at this time for themselves or with family and friends.<br /><br />Another gloomy day...but hopefully I will be seeing sunshine when I embark on my Voyager of the Seas the 3rd of February <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":laugh:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />  I did not realize that Mardi Gras is the weekend we are leaving so we decided to bite the bullet and spend Saturday night in Galveston partake in the festivities and go to the parade. My good friend is going with me and my hubby, Scott, along with her son/daughter-in-law/grandson and daughter/son-in-law/grandson/2 granddaughters. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought any green, gold and purple Christmas decorations at 80% off to decorate the doors of our cabins. I also made neck lanyards from purple, gold &amp; green pony beads to look like Mardi Gras beads. We are going to be decked out for Mardi Gras this cruise <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />Have a great day...
