Music gives me energy when I’m tired, cheers me when I’m feeling low, calms me when I’m agitated and always…always soothes my soul. One of our favorite things to do in New Orleans is listen to live…

Today I am thankful to those who fought valiantly to give each of us the right to vote. Suffragettes, soldiers, civil rights workers…we owe them all a debt of gratitude. So get out there and vote!

I am thankful for bookstores. Classy ones like Faulkner’s (above) and jumbled up ones like Arcadian’s across the street from our hotel where I just heard the owner conversing fluently with a French tourist. [Posted with iBlogger from my iPhone]

Today I am thankful for naps. We are going on a dinner jazz cruise with friends this evening but had time for a nap in our comfy hotel bed first. I didn’t like naps as a kid but I sure do as an adult. We are having a fantastic time here in New Orleans! [Posted…
