“Woof-woof!” It’s Mardi Gras time!

Greetings from RVSue and her one-dog canine crew!

“Hey, Reg!  Let’s kick-start this blog post into gear!”

The backhoe is quicker than the eye and the camera!

In previous posts readers were introduced to my friends, Geri and Chuck.

You may remember the birthday dinner with bagpipes or the sharing of Navajo pizza in Bluff, Utah, along with other good times together.

(“San Juan River and our friends arrive!” — May 2013“)

You may have read about their craft, the glass suncatchers they call Mermaid Tears, which “sell like hotcakes” in shops and at festivals.

The next photo is a cropped section of a larger pic sent to me by Geri.  It shows the suncatchers on display at their “booth.”

Mermaid Tears suncatchers:

Recently I posted a photo of Tater.

Yes, I’ll get to Mardi Gras.  First, some more background . . . .

Tater is the rescue dog repeatedly rejected by previous adopters. After the passing of their beloved Doogie Bowser (seen at linked page above), Geri and Chuck seek a companion for their dog, Radar.

When introduced to Tater, they see something special in this chunky, mature dog with protruding lower teeth.   They take him home.  No more rejection for Tater!

Tater loves his new family and they love him.  He brings more laughter to their home and is a comfort while they recover from their loss.

It’s Mardi Gras time!

Geri and Chuck have a booth featuring their Mermaid Tears at today’s Mardi Gras in Appalachicola, Florida.  The festivities include a canine parade!

 Radar and Tater are ready for Mardi Gras.

 

 

 

 

 

 

As Geri wrote in her email to me:

“We will use Radar and Tater as front men to lure people over to our booth!”

What does this have to do with RVing?

Well, it shows what fun you can have when you are open to new experiences, such as crafts, festivals, and parades, or whatever you find of interest to you.

It also shows how life is enriched when you give a dog a home and family, whether you live in a sticks-and-bricks or in a home-on-wheels.
