The Music, The City and The River of Mud...

So sometime last week I was talking to a friend of mine and she said something about beignets... oooooo soooo good!  At leas the French got SOMETHING right....  I mean, even I can't talk bad about Beignets!


She was making them for a friend who is going to serve a mission in the south.  That got me thinking about the memories I have from New Orleans, some more well known than others, but good memories all the same.  Besides the Beignets, I was remember things about the French Quarter





the Natchez (from what I remember it's the only true steamboat left in the U.S.)


Mother's Restaurant, home to the famous Po' Boys.  (FYI Po' Boys were the best!  One of the only things that I enjoy eating that has cabbage [cabbage is what circus workers and carnies eat])



Oh and the Aquarium of the Americas, that was fun for us kids.


I do consider myself lucky and blessed to have been able to visit a number of parts of this country with my family.  Many sweet memories were made on the two cross country motor home trips.
