Not much to report here today. It's raining again and I'm getting quite sick of it. We have had about 8 inches of rain the past 4 days. The yard needs to be mowed but I refuse to put my new mower in soggy wet grass. I just hope it dries up enough to mow before we leave on Friday. I'm pretty much packed and ready for the trip. I hope things go smoothly. We have decided to stop in Nawlins on our way back home. I want to see what things look like after the hurricane and being that my dad is from there I want to see if we can find my grandparents grave. My cousin said it was washed away but I want to see for myself. I would also like for DD to see where her Papaw lived even though there is nothing left but cement blocks. She knows that her Great Grandma was French and spoke no English but I would like for her to meet some of Grandma Irene's sisters that speak broken English and Cajun to see her reaction. I want her to know the spirit and taste that New Orleans has and why mom fixes her coony food (hubby calls it this) all the time. One can never have enough of this food. I can smell and taste it now.
Enough of my talking for now......
