BEAT MY COUNT~~~~

Twenty-four strands of beads, at the first Mardi Gras Parade I viewed.  (Really ~ viewed and yelled at and waved my hands/arms at.)  If you want beads to be thrown you must "look" like you want them!  

This parade yielded two dozen strands that I took home, and one dozen that I gave away to kids around me.  Hats were also thrown and we caught nine, from various companies.  We also gave those away to children that couldn't reach them.  A fun parade!
