New Orleans Spring, 2014

Our wedding anniversary trip to New Orleans was just lovely.  Photos are from The Monteleone's Carousel Bar; a letter box in the Monteleone; Bananas Foster at The Court of Two Sisters; my husband and me; a building on Royal Street that I thought was just pretty; waiters from The NOLA Grill on Chartres St.; Fleurty Girl Store in the Quarter; beautiful ironwork; ready for Mardi Gras; love the horses; music in Jackson Square.

My little grand daughter Sadie Vera with her first crawfish.  That little cajun child is not afraid of much!

Easter 2013!


We had wonderful boiled crawfish!!


Who needs a basket when you have a 'combine'??


Grandson, Ethan look for eggs!



We have 'egg fights' every Easter - some people call it 'pocking' eggs or 'knocking' eggs.  If you crack the other person's egg, you win that egg.


"Sugar High"!!!!


Aunt Eve - my husband's sister who was born with Spina Bifida way back in the 40's.  She had both legs amputated as a young adult and is doing great.  We are lucky to have her and she just loves her nieces and nephews.

We just got home after visiting St. Augustine, FL for our anniversary.  Here are a few photos.












The old fort in St. Augustine - Castillo de San Marcos and the St. Augustine beach.  We really had a nice time!

The older gentleman on the bike was a photo op I couldn't pass up.  I hope I am in as good condition as he seemed to be when I'm his age.

Wow, It's Been A Long Time Posting

A few new things have happened since my last post.  My oldest daughter is expecting a little girl (Sadie Vera DeLaune) on August 20th.  We are very, very excited.  We went on a nice vacation to Orange Beach, AL in May and 'all' stayed together in one condo.  Wasn't too bad; there were 8 adults and 2 toddlers.  Don't know if I'll stay in same condo again but definitely want to vacation at same time. :)  I'll post a few photos of this vacation and also a few from New Orleans.  Mike and I went on a mini vacation for a night at the Monteleone.  We had a really nice time with maybe one too many martinis - the kids had a great time passing along my 'unusual' texts to them back and forth to each other.
