November 26th, the day after Thanksgiving here in the U.S., is known as Black Friday. It has become a frenzied day of ultra-consumerism kicking off the holiday season. But you know what? You can opt out. Instead of battling the crazy hoards of shoppers, I plan to spend the day relaxing with my family. I…
We meet “The Beatles” in NOLA…
We had just been seated at the restaurant when David got a call from our friend, Debi asking where we were. David told her and she said we needed to get ourselves down to Tropical Isle immediately. A couple of the guys from Rain were in the bar! Rain is the famous Beatles tribute band…
French Quarter Friday…
I will eventually be returning to my usual “French Friday” posts but since I still have pictures to share from New Orleans I thought I’d make this “French Quarter Friday”. The St. Louis Cathedral in Jackson square is probably the most photographed and easily recognized landmark in New Orleans. Isn’t it pretty? One of our…

New Orleans adventures
I know, I know. I promised stories and pictures of our recent trip to New Orleans. And I do intend to follow through but life has been nuts. Two days after returning from NOLA we zipped off to California for five days. David had to go on business and took me along. And if that…
Love Beats Hate
Remember this? Cool, huh? Well, while attending Voodoo Fest in New Orleans a couple of weeks ago I spotted this guy: I didn’t see anyone else hugging him yet so of course I had to: David snapped this picture with his iPhone from quite a distance so this was the best editing I could do. …
Memory Lane Monday – You can’t go home again
This past Saturday David and I drove all around where we grew up. We went by his old house, mine,my grandparents’ and cousins’, the church I attended as as child, his elementary school and many other places from our youth. While the drive did bring back some memories and a bit of nostalgia, neither of…
Menu Plan Monday –
I’m writing this on David’s laptop in California and there’s a good chance things will come up this week that I’m not anticipating yet. But I’m going to give menu planning a shot anyway! Monday: On our way home from California so we will probably grab a bite in OKC or Norman. Tuesday: fettucine alfredo…
California dreaming
I stepped off the plane and immediately noticed that the airport smelled faintly like a swimming pool. I am one of those weird people who actually likes the smell of bleach so this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. But there was no music playing, either. Hey, Toto, we aren’t in New Orleans anymore. Until we…
