Aileen is too much of a Northern girl to ever move to Louisiana, so she visits it in her imagination. She thanks everyone who took the time to travel with her and who had the adventurous spirit to read a serial novel on the web. She sends an extra thanks to kind readers who over the years have sent their own versions of beaded shoes, chicken beads, a yellow feather boutineer, a magic bead, a yellow magnolia velveteen pin, King Cakes, Mardi Gras charm bracelets, a Cayenne McKenzie Del Roi beaded necklace with matching earrings, a beaded purple bra, an antique tea cup, a ceramic mask, Mardi Gras memorabilia post cards, and a yellow magnolia watercolor picture. Thanks for getting in on the fun!
Another very special thanks to folks who don't even know Aileen but heard about the novel from other people. She appreciates you stopping in and she thanks you deeply.
Happy Mardi Gras, everyone! If Cayenne ever gets back to New Orleans...if Mambozo can stay out of the chicken pot...if Rufus can convince his family to move back to New Orleans... if Cay can hang onto Francisco... maybe there will be another adventure next year!
