Britt and Jimmy visited us Friday night which was a lot of fun. Yummy seafood, cold beer, strawberry pie - I wish we all lived closer so we could do that more often. It was great to see them!
Saturday we cruised in the vet and visited some friends in Thibodeaux. The vet will be painted next week and then the interior will be put back in and the seats redone - hooray! I can't wait to see it all put together and have a comfortable seat to ride in. It's been a fun car - can't wait to cruise the coast in it!
Today we met John and Joanna, Mike and Auz, and the girls in downtown New Orleans for lunch. The girls were in a cheerleading competition so we watched for a while. I had no idea that cheerleading was such a big deal - I was thinking football games - not major competitions - especailly for the little girls. It was fun to be with them.
Tomorrow I have an all day workshop - ugh - I hate those things! But it's at Nicholls and I get to go to lunch with other therapists so that will be nice.

Eye, eye, eye mate...
Gee and I usually only go to one or two parades at Mardi Gras but this year we opted out all together due to Gee's eye situation - he wouldn't be able to see any beads flying at him! So we decided to go to the North Shore and stay at the camp for a change of pace. Gee is slowly getting his stamina back - so we mostly took scenic drives. Normally Gee drives and I navigate - but this time I drove and navigated! I definitely like it the other way around.
The gulf coast is still very devastated from Hurricanne Katrina. Some homes are rebuilt but most of the area is just empty lots. There was no place to eat from Bay St. Louis to Ocean Springs except for the casinos and fast food restaurants. But we did find an old favorite restaurant - McElroy's - that used to have two locations - the beach location is gone and the one we ate in had 7 ft of water in it! I had flounder with crabmeat stuffing and Gee had the same with red smapper - soooo good!
The next day we headed the other way towards Folsom/Hammond. We are still scouting for a retirement place - but we aren't ready to make a decision yet. Still not sure how we will want to live in 5-10 years - in the country? in a golf community? in a townhouse with a place for a boat underneath? on a boat? in an rv? Hmmmmmmmmmmm?
Today we ventured to Madisonville where we had lunch on the river. It's one of my favorite Northshore places to lunch and my crab/shrimp/avocado salad did not disappoint. Now we are home and Gee is itching to cook - he's promising to make red gravy tomorrow - my absolute favoite! I love my husband!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously - it's so nice to have him feeling better - just need the vision to improve.
