Southern Louisiana

This week I drove down to Slidell, Louisiana to visit my mother’s side of the family.  Slidell is just across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans (roughly 25-35 mins away from New Orleans).  It was nice to see my family.  It had been around three years since the last time I had saw them.  We did a lot of sight-seeing.  Honestly though, the best part was just getting to chat with all them.  Also, it was great to escape the crazy weather Texas has been having.  My Aunt told me a lot of stories about my mother, which was wonderful.  Today is the five year anniversary of her passing, so it felt nice to feel more connected with her.  I even got to see her high school.  Well here are some photos from the trip.
(I still haven’t quite gotten the hang of photography in overcast weather.  I sure would like to take a photography class).

We are all going to politely ignore my tulip who was out of water for a while (I was ensured that it would perk up before long!), but another floral arrangement in the books!! Perfect little start to my Birthday 🌸

Had the best time celebrating the sweetest @livmoorefreely I’m so excited for this next chapter for you. Rayce is so lucky to have someone who loves so deeply, is effortlessly gorgeous, witty beyond comprehension, and has the most admirable ability to take whatever comes her way with a calm, steady grace. Truly the kind of person everyone feels lucky to know. 🤍✨
