June 2018… Selena was about to graduate and turned 18 at the end of the month. She chose to have her graduation and birthday parties combined and early (2nd week of June) so as not to conflict with the parties of kids she wanted to invite. She wanted a Mardi Gras theme and between family and friends bringing food and beverages and the tasty Cajun cuisine we ordered from Nanola the party was a huge success!!

One of my duties in the weeks leading up to it was to put together a slideshow we could loop throughout the day… I spent weeks putting it together and finding what I thought was just the right music and converting old VHS-C videos to digital so I could include them… by the time I was finished it was about 90 minutes long!! Great for a loop – not so great if you really wanted to watch it… If you’re in the latter group and have some time to kill, click the image at left and kick back for a little retrospective…
