Celebration in the Oaks

Jan 29Celebration in the Oaks

During the holiday, between Christmas and New Years, we went to City Park in New Orleans to Celebration in the Oaks for the third straight year. It's a lovely light exhibit and fun for children and adults. Our friend Sylvia brought her two grandchildren and our daughter Beth brought her friend Michelle. In spite of the cold weather, we enjoyed it. Pictured above is a lighted unicorn reflecting in the reflecting pond. The mythical unicorn is a symbol of purity and grace. So here's hoping that purity and grace will be reflected in how you live your life! How's that for "corny"? Sorry for the pun.

We thought it was cold when we were at Celebration in the Oaks. Now, for three days in less than a week it has been below freezing in Baton Rouge. In fact, Tuesday and Wednesday, all state offices have been closed in many parishes, including Jefferson, Orleans, and East Baton Rouge. So I have been on a two day snow vacation. I'll try to get some good snow photos on this blog soon. Hopefully.
