Ramblings

This weekend we had a cold snap roll through. It dipped down into the 30s again and Saturday remained cold until later in the afternoon. Since the overnight lows were near freezing Joan brought the chickens in. They should be able to handle it but since they are still young we figured better not risk it.

Unfortunately the golf club March outing was also on Saturday. As diehards we pressed on. It was the most brutal golf outing I've ever had. Needless to say the scores were high!

And today I was driving to the parents house. This is about 1ish on a Sunday afternoon. I had to stop at Walgreen's and then figured I would head west on 407 and out. Big mistake. The 2499 and 407 intersection has become such a traffic nightmare that traffic was backed up to Bridlewood. Needless to say it was faster to turn around, head back to Morriss and back to Waketon to get out. This traffic is really ridiculous...

This coming weekend in the annual NASCAR event at Texas Motor Speedway. So we shall be avoiding heading west at all costs on the weekend. As we drove by it today the RVs are already piling up out there.

Need to finish the taxes up this week. So far its looking like I need to send Uncle Sam some more. But I need to give it the scrub down.

In two weeks the LSU kids are home for spring break! It will be good to see them.

And April 6 is opening day. We have tickets already in hand and it is sold out. I hope the weather is nice to us.

Chick-chick-chickens!

They are getting big! Joan is building the coup and its coming along nicely. They have been enjoying running around the backyard and are ready to move out there.

Favorite Places

Can my bucket list have places on it I have already been? One of my favorite places to be is at a music festival with my wife. Especially jazzfest in New Orleans. Its something we started doing pretty soon after we got together. Here was one of our first, the Memphis Blues Festival in 1994. At that little 'porch' stage Joan is standing in front of was unknown artists. The guyplaying was handing out tapes and playing blues for anyone who would listen. His name is Keb Mo'...!


And this was from our first jazzfest in 1995. That is Coco Robicheaux, Louisiana blues and medicine man! He was pretty crazy. That was a great trip and so much fun. We have not returned since Katrina but we will be back.



So put that on the bucket list, jazzfest with Joan as many times as possible before I die!

Happy Birthday Katie!

I can't believe your 25! Seems like yesterday you were Daddies little girl and the only kid!

I'm so proud of you and hope you have the greatest birthday ever!
