Katie Headrick, formerly of Laurel will be in the center of Mardi Gras festivities as she serves as a maid in the Krewe of Isis. The parade will be held 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13 on the Veterans Memorial Boulevard route in Metairie, La. Headrick’s grandson, Ron LaVigne III, 16, of Tupelo, accompanied her to the family-friendly ball and festivities in the weeks leading up Fat Tuesday. The organization was chartered in 1973 and is the oldest and largest all female Mardi Gras organization in Metairie. Headrick’s one of a kind gown features royal blue satin fabric, intricate designs, with a vibrant feathered headpiece weighing 15- 20 pounds.

My sister and I are seated in the cart our father built for us, and our donkey Sunflower is pulling us up the hill toward the edge of the woods. I must be about seven years old and maybe my sister is ten. It is early February on an unseasonably warm afternoon. We have just returned from school and received permission from our mother to hitch-up Sunflower and go for a ride.

After leaving the Trapani Salt Flats on the western coast of Sicily on a late November afternoon, I maneuvered our vehicle down yet another remote, unmarked dirt road and passed dozens of vacant houses. No one was on the streets. It had been 10 minutes since we had seen another car. Sunlight was at a minimum. We had been warned several times about remote areas of Sicily.

I cannot recall a time when trees were not a part of my life. During WWII while our father was away in Panama City building ships, we moved a mile north of our farm and lived in the teacher's home on the campus of the Gitano Grammar School. In that setting I formed my first memories of trees.
