Please have patience. Each of these posts is started with inspiration and requires lots of perspiration and key-pounding to complete. By the time spring truly arrives my hope is to expand my posts to include more book reviews and more hints on sharing what we glean from what we read.

December is rarely a top travel choice unless a beach or ski resort is involved, but for my money this is the perfect time to head to New Orleans. A city that parties day in and day out glows even brighter before Christmas and with the early darkness the amazing decorations in city that REALLY gets decked out are visible everywhere! And the weather was terrific. Warm days and cool evenings and not a drop of rain. I was happy to miss the infamous heat and humidity.

So, what was most memorable? Continue reading Exploring New Orleans
