I am really excited about this month’s LWD Book Club because our theme for the month is travel. We are going to have both a Francophile Week and an Anglophile Week, plus some general travel-related posts. Even though I won’t be visiting France or England this month (unless I win the lottery in which case…
A Week at North Myrtle Beach ~ Our Vacation
We spent last week at North Myrtle Beach sitting by a pool, watching the ocean, and basically nothing else. It was awesome! If you know me personally or have followed me online any length of time you probably know that David and usually vacation in New Orleans a couple of times a year. For…
A Glimpse of Our New Orleans Vacation
You may have noticed that I sort of “disappeared” last week. I had posts scheduled on Facebook and a menu post last Monday but unless you follow me on Instagram you probably didn’t “see” much of me. That’s because we spent the week in New Orleans. We hadn’t planned on going again this year until…
A Few Pictures From Our Trip to New Orleans
I’m having a hard time getting back into a routine and catching up after our trip. We are unpacked and the laundry has been done but there’s still so much more to do. Traveling is great but re-entry sucks. So, because I should be vacuuming up two week’s worth of dog hair I made you…
16 Free Or Low Cost Things To Do in New Orleans
Travel can be expensive but sometimes the most enjoyable activities are free or nearly so. We have been going to New Orleans ever since our honeymoon in 1981 and I can honestly say that our favorite things to do there are free or low cost. Well, except eating. 😉 Dee’s Favorite Free or Low Cost…
Pining For Paris
I do believe our trip to Paris in 2014 has spoiled me for life. As the old song goes, “How Ya Gonna Keep ’em Down on the Farm (After They’ve Seen Paree?)”. Don’t get me wrong – I do love my life here on “Apple Tree Farm” in rural Oklahoma. But once in awhile I find…
Weekend in New Orleans
When you get an offer to go to New Orleans the answer is always, “Yes!”. David’s boss called him Tuesday evening and asked if we’d like to attend his daughter’s wedding in New Orleans on Saturday. It was a small, destination wedding and several had been unable to attend at the last minute. The food…
Dinner at Antoine’s
David and I honeymooned in New Orleans 34 years ago. We bought a honeymoon package from a travel agent (remember those?) which included lodging at the Royal Orleans plus a few other things, including dinner at Antoine’s. We both grew up in families that ate in nice restaurants pretty often but Antoine’s was definitely a…
La rentrée – or “welcome home”
The French population generally takes off work and school for the month of August. I know! Wouldn’t that be awesome? They have a term for the return to “real life” in September – la rentrée. Children head off to school, adults return to work, routines are implemented and life generally regains its usual rhythm. We returned from…
