A Little Friday Night Excitement

Tweet

We didn't have too much planned for Friday. I have been trying to get my Friday flea market run back on schedule and that was about all I planned to do. However, the hubby has been looking at sub-soilers for the tractor to break up the soil that has some clay in it and take care of any protruding roots into the garden. We stopped to look at one on the way home last week when we were picking up auction wins in the Jackson, MS area. He would have bought it, but we didn't have room for it. There is not one in stock in our local area. When we got home he started looking online and couldn't find one close by. He finally found one in Franklinton, LA. So we compromised and combined errands since I was going to the flea market and that is on the way to Franklinton. I tided up my booth and added a bit of stock and we went to town to check out the new pizza place. It was paced, but everyone has been saying how good it is, so we went to find out for ourselves. (More on this place in another post...coming soon!) After dinner we headed south to Franklinton, LA to their Tractor Supply. When we got into Franklinton, we did not make it far as the road was blocked and shut down both ways to traffic. We tried a detour, but could still not get through. An officer came to the truck and told us to just hang tight, the Mardi Gras parade was rolling and it was not a long parade. I told my hubby that I was getting out to go watch the parade. It was a short parade and included the high school band, cheerleaders, dance team, a couple of old and classic cars, fire trucks, Country Fair Queen, and a few businesses. It was a fun treat and we caught some beads, a plastic cup, rubber ducks, candy, a flashing hand and other glow in the dark wands, several bracelets. We made it to Tractor Supply ten minutes before they closed. So all went well, we both got our errands ran, we had some unexpected fun, and we got to try out the new pizza place!
