The Anticipation of Something Fun
Finally, after two years, Mardi Gras celebrations are back in New Orleans. And it couldn’t have come at a better time. Sure there is Covid still around. And if anyone is honest with themselves, it’ll always be around. But now we have the benefit of knowing how it’s spread as well the vast access to…

New Year, So Many Changes
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged. Quite frankly, the reasons vary but mostly it was lack of inspiration combined with laziness on my part. Overall, the past 2 years have been a bit of a blur. Not necessarily in a good way. Between Covid restrictions consistently changing to job requirements, Chuck and I did…

A week in Vegas was perfect
Chuck and I took a long overdue week to travel to Las Vegas and man, I’m so glad we did. After postponing our September trip there due to Hurricane Ida, we were really looking forward to getting away for a bit. Although we both had a little work to do, we were able to still…

We’re good, and that’s good enough for now
Less than a week after Hurricane Ida blew through New Orleans and the surrounding areas, I still haven’t fully exhaled. We are fine. Our apartment had no damage and other than losing everything in our refrigerator due to no power, sustained no huge financial hit. But after the year and a half we’ve had, Chuck…

How is this year half done?
It seemed like yesterday we were breathing a sigh of relief that 2020 was over. Although we were still in the midst of mask wearing and staying as far away from others as we could, we knew that 2021 brought a sense of hope. This year has been busy. Between work travel for my husband…

Friend time is the best time
This past weekend, a few friends and I headed to Fairhope, Alabama to visit one of my very first New Orleans pals, Tricia. She had moved to Fairhope several years ago and this was the first time we have all been able to head over there. Fairhope is the cute town between Mobile and Gulf…

Is it May already?
I looked up and it’s May. I know that sounds so odd because in one way, the past 14 months or so have seemed like the longest ever. But in another way, it’s as if time is flying by. This year has brought on even more change, with Chuck traveling more for work and me…

A work trip — but not for me! – part 2
Landing on Kauai so late at night did not offer the beautiful scenery I had hoped for. But because of the lights of the small towns along the east end of the island, I could make out the peaks and valleys that the island is so famous for. I was prepared for the Covid checks,…

A work trip — but not for me! Part 1
Normally the work trips are on my end. Being in the journalism field means I do a LOT of last minute travel. But this time, it was Chuck’s turn. I can’t say the trip was 100% last minute. We knew the possibility of him going to Hawaii to help with the changeover of one of…

Small town tours, an interesting weekend in Mississippi
I spent my teenage years in North Mississippi, and although the city we lived in was relatively small, it was still a suburb of Memphis so never felt “too small”. I’ve always been intrigued by small town life. From the time I was in high school, I really just wanted to be in a city.…
