Y'know you're in New Orleans, when....

... the largest food display at Walmart was red beans and rice!

Over 1000 pounds of rice with enough red beans to keep a smile on your face for a week!



In the hills of TN, this car has been sitting in one place
so long that the vines have grown up the radio antenna

We are doing our best to catch up on eating all the New Orleans cuisine, which we have missed during the past 7-8 months.  We got our shrimp po-boy (dressed, or course) right away, but Sue had to wait until this week to finally get some boiled crawfish.  And yes, we got our Popeye's chicken last week (when we got Popeye's around the Great Lakes, we were disappointed that the seasoning was not the same as what we get down here).

Late last month we spent an excellent week in the Chattanooga area, sharing Thanksgiving with about 30 relatives, and Sue's mother was basking in the attention all week.  Her mother loved having all the babies (all 4 great-great grandchildren) surrounding her most every day.  All in all, a very good family reunion.

So now we prepare for Christmas this week at Chris & Ali's new home.  Looking forward to another good week with family.



While in TN, we hiked through the mountain trail
