Hail Caesar

A very good friend of mine, David Lapuyade, has been a member of the Krewe of Caesar for quite some time and years ago he and his wife Yvette started inviting Tammy and I to the annual Ball.  I am not much on formal dress and events so I would always tell Dave "No thank you but that the year you are King...Tammy and I will come to the ball."  I must admit I always said it with a certain belief that he would never put his name in for the honor but low and behold a few months ago Tammy was informed by Yvette "You will need  a dress cause you are going to a Ball!".

Last night Tammy and I attended the Krewe of Caesar's Ball at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside and watched Dave (Emperor XXXIII) and the rest of the court get presented to the Krewe.

Before the ball started Tammy and I were able to go backstage and see Dave along with the Queen and her maids and dressed and wearing their headdresses.

Tammy and I had a great time and got to see a number of friends who we don't get to see often enough. We also were able to meet Lowell's fiance' and her parents and we look forward to seeing them married later this year.

Grace & Peace
