Shortly before we left Louisiana we took a day trip down to Natchitotches.

(I forgot I took these pictures. )

And I would have forgotten longer, 

but last week I lost the cord that connects the hard drive to the computer. 

Which means I'm sans photos as of late. 

Which means I was left to peruse the desktop-

which means I found these ones.

Last night whilst purchasing appliances, I met a lady who had some kind of connection

to the one and only Monroe, Louisiana.  She asked if I knew a girl named Aubrey. 

I didn't... but we had a nice conversation. 

We wished her luck, and went to look at light fixtures. 

When I finally got home, Steve had all the pirates sound asleep.

Which makes it third or fourth night in a row

that I've missed bedtime. 

I'm once again nominating myself 

MOTHER OF THE YEAR. 

(I might not get new pictures on the blog until AFTER the Awards Ceremony.)
