After nurturing my Facebook profile and performance/production and life experiences since before returning home from Disney in 2008, it has been shut down the morning of the Tony Awards. (Due to the sparsity of text allowed here on Bluesky, the story is in the comment thread below...)

Came across some tagged Instagram posts from other folks just now that were most wonderful to see and think back upon. Just a few of so many different amazing adventures and friends my career and life has offered me over the decades. ❤️

Maxie's ever increasingly heavier head on my leg is a sure fire bet that it's time to go outside...

Maxie "Sir Snores A Lot"

Walked into the living room, and Maxie had set up two pillows to comfortably watch TV.

The "Once Upon A Mattress" cast gathered onstage, just before closing the show, to record a song for this year's "Sprinkles & Tinsel's Very Merry Holly-Daze" special. Yup, we're already filming segments for our annual holiday treat!

While sorting and packing up all of the jewelry I loaned to the production of Once Upon A Mattress, I simply had to put Queen Agravaine's necklace onto Maxie. Not only did it fit perfectly, but he loved it.

So... THIS guy returns again tonight for a huge 4 hour event downtown, in the Quarters. I guess you can't keep a good automaton down when he's in demand. LOL!

Went outside for a brief moment with Vatican and Maxie, and then got inside in the somewhat barely reasonable-ish "warmth" of our old house.
Okay, I've actually, physically experienced it.
Now please excuse me if I continue to stay inside mumbling curses under my breath for the next 48 hours...

Got a Haydel's Bakery king cake today. We got the bizarre little "chicken box" for the porcelain collectible and as I cut my first piece found the plastic baby. I combined the two for a photo... I may have to build upon this idea for a full mini kresch for next Xmas.😂
Happy Carnival Y'all! 💜💛💚
