Update - November Activities

Mike - Can't make you any Thai food - I didn't get to go because of jury duty!!! But for Thanksgiving I did make some smoking shrimp rolls (literally - I burnt the bottom) that everyone raved about so I'll make those when we visit.

The guy was guilty and will be in prison for a long time - bank fraud. We found him guilty of stealing account numbers and pin numbers, going to ATM machines, and taking money directly out of accounts. I learned quite a bit about the banking industry!

Thanksgiving was lots of fun - almost all of the family was there and the food was great!!! Family updates - Hilary is looking great and has a new beau - Laura just got back from CloseUp - Hailey is growing and really precious - Jimmy had a flat time and Gee was the hero once again!

And that's that!

November activities

Gee and I tailgated at LSU this weekend for the LSU/Tulane game. Britt & Jimmy - John and Joanna & kids - Melissa , Joshua, & Jacob - and others were there. Gee cooked a chicken and sausage gumbo and we fed about 50 people. We had lots of fun but are both exhausted tonight!

Britt and I are taking a cooking class tomorrow night at a local restaurant - Clare's. We will be learning how to cook Thai food. Several of my friends will be there so it should be fun. Other events are Corks and Canvass - Melissa's birthday event where we will bring wine and all paint the same picture - and Cootie at Melissa's new house. We also have the Twilight party coming up. Lots to do!

I have jury duty in New Orleans tomorrow - yuck! I don't think I have ever driven by myself in downtown New Orleans before so I am not looking forward to doing that. Oh well - hopefully I won't get picked - although my track record is not good! However, I doubt I will get out of it in New Orelans because the judge is my cousin or I know the lawyers. Oh well.........
