road trip ready!
It's past time for a domestic road trip. This time, to the Gulf Coast, by way of New Orleans and Lafayette. Our friend, Pablito, spent some time at Padre Island a couple of years ago, and told me afterwards that it is one of his favorite places. We're looking forward to not just the destination, but the journey. We are delighted that Matt, Betsy's nephew, who works on Diners, Dives and Drive-in's, has given us a list of must-eat places. You know we'll report on those finds!
Stuart had a tumble down the mountainside in October, and thankfully is mostly recovered. Our friend, Ray, had a pretty rough tumble, too, but thankfully cushioned Stuart's landing at the bottom of the 30 foot fall, rather than the other way around. Ray is much improved, too, thankfully!
This past week has been busy, even though neither of us had our usual volunteer obligations. Between getting the cottage ready, the rain that hampered that effort, getting the truck ready and finishing a few last minute Santa Claus things, our friend, Sam, lost her father. Pop was 92, and according to Sam's brother, "he had a good run!". Even though he was not young, it's hard to be permanently separated from someone you love. And, mama celebrated her 81 birthday, with oysters and sweet potatoes on our porch, with my brother and SIL. So, a great/sad/busy week to send us off for a Domestic Walk-About.
Departure: soon!
