Ah, pancakes with butter and syrup for dinner tonight at Elba United Methodist Church where we had have a Fat Tuesday dinner.
Mardi Gras Celebrations include lots of feasting, partying and parading on the big day just before Ash Wednesday - when the Church rules of fasting and sacrifice take effect in preparation for a joyous Easter.

I have been trying to decide what to give up for lent (that I can leave off for 46 days!). I am thinking I will not eat any slices of bread (does not include pancakes and crackers). This will be difficult since I love sandwiches. Especially Subway sandwiches and banana or pineapple sandwiches. All this begins TOMORROW, March 9th, which is Ash Wednesday.
