A Toast to New Orleans and YOU - Week of February 22-28
Good afternoon my darling friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend. A sunny, warm gorgeous Monday, February 22 awaits us. Let's welcome it with a smile on our faces and optimism that it’s a new day, a new week, and in that lies a new opportunity for something special to happen. I am grateful to be alive, healthy, and able to pray for the people in Texas, the sick with COVID, and those that have passed away. Sending you a warm visual hug.
In case you did not know - Today, February 22 is National Margarita Day and I am looking forward to making a delicious Margarita celebrate National Margarita Day!https://nationaltoday.com/national-margarita-day/?fbclid=IwAR2mCjHiO4XFgx3q3U_I5-S0llJKwiINtRX82kfQyA2odM67-AFJHayxIx4
