It's Valentine's Day, but on Gasparilla Day, this thirsty lady pirate was on the prowl, no doubt looking along the parade route for her special Pirate-Cupid guy. Oh, and imagine that -- she's a blonde. Hmm.
For those who are wondering: Gasparilla is Tampa's version of Mardi Gras. This year's event just took place several weeks ago - Gasparilla commemorates a mostly legendary pirate invasion of Tampa Bay. There are parades, parties, and all sorts of wildness. People dress up in pirate-related costumes (as well as others). Then they stroll along the parade route, in various stages of partying spirit. It's a lot of fun.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AM3. I am out and probably away from the computer all this week. We are headed to north Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with our son and his wife and her family. I hope everyone who celebrates this holiday has a wonderful day, filled with turkey and gratitude for every blessing. And those who do not, I hope will remember to count their blessings and be thankful. Packing and getting the SUV all set for the drive today; we leave very early Tuesday morning and plan to return sometime Sunday.
