Good Afternoon my darling friends. Today, Monday, January 11, I woke up with confidence and optimism that there's a light at the end of the tunnel and happier times are ahead. I am celebrating being alive, healthy, blessed and the fabulous win of our beloved Saints against the Bears. I am also looking forward to getting today my first vaccine at Crescent Health. Life is good. Let's pray for those with the coronavirus and those that have passed away.  Let'swelcomethe new week with a smile. Wear your mask and keep your distance. Sending a warm visual hug.

So, excited I got my first vaccine shot and have an appointment for Feb 8 for my second one. I feel blessed

The highlight of this past week was the honor of reigning as the 2021 Queen Yolande de Aragon of the Krewe de Jeanne d' Arc. 

Traditionally, the Joan of Arc parade welcomes Carnival in the French Quarter, while celebrating the beloved saint’s birthday on Jan. 6.

This year, instead of its usual French Quarter walking procession, canceled due to COVID-19, the Krewe de Jeanne d’Arc  produced a beautiful, creative “ Tableaux de Jeanne d’Arc, “ (A tableau vivant ) a live performance,iadrive-by parade at Behrman Memorial Park in Algiers from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Jan. 6.

Darlings, It is  Mardi Gras Time!
As a 2021 royalty, I command your presence at my masked  15th Salute to  Carnival Round Table Luncheon on Wednesday, Feb 10 at noon at Andrea's Restaurant in Metairie.  I promise, as, in the past, it will be a fun-filled memorable event with live music, delicious cuisine, and unlimited champagne. Since this luncheon is not going to benefit anyone, I am lowering the price to only $55. I encourage all to don your beautiful mask and carnival outfit for our judges. All Covid-19 social distance will be observed and tables of six or eight.
Make your reservation now before it is sold out by Zelle (Chase)  Venmo o,r by sending a check to Margarita Bergen, 811 Marigny Street, Unit C, New Orleans, Louisiana 70117. Credit will be given to all of those that have paid for other RTL. Have a blessed, peaceful and blessed January 2021.It is going to be a very memorable fun-loving RTL and I can not wait for your participation in making  it a truly full of revelry event

  Darlings, I am enjoying so much watching Ken Burns's Jazz on WYES
Filmmaker Ken Burnstells the story of jazz — the quintessential American art form. The 10-part series follows the growth and development of jazz music from the gritty streets of New Orleans to the Lincoln Gardens on Chicago's south side, where Louis Armstrong first won fame, from Prohibition-era speakeasies to the wide-open clubs of Kansas City, from the elegant Roseland Ballroom in Times Square, where only whites were allowed to dance, to the more egalitarian Savoy Ballroom in Harlem, where people of all colors mingled.


I was saddened to learn of the loss of dynamicJim Bob Moffett. I have memories of being in his lovely mansion on St. Charles Avenue.  He will be missed by all of those that knew and loved him. My condolence to his son and his family. May his soul RIP.
