Skywalker3, being a NOLA native I remember all of what you mentioned. Do you remember when the grain elevator in Westwego exploded?

Hello from Gretna! Take the drive to New Iberia (take Hwy 90 instead of the interstate) and tour the Tabasco Factory. Depending on limitations, check Konriko Rice Mill and Shadows on the Teche. My family really likes the food at Yellow Bowl Restaurant in Jeanerette. Stop and get some French...

I bought a bag of them about 10 years ago to share with out of town friends. With some of the leftovers, a co-worker and I "stuffed" a king cake since people liked cutting around the baby and leaving only an inch of cake just so they didn't "get the baby".

Hi-Do is my favorite. We had an apple one the other day, it would have been great for breakfast had there been any left. :)

I found this dress at a department store (maybe J.C. Penny) for my 2nd marriage.

I'm a WB'er from Gretna, but a little older than the two of you.

I was kind of thrown with #14

Waving HI from NOLA. I love your trip reports. Thank you so much for taking the time to do them.

My parents went to high school together and lived less than a mile apart. We all still live in that same city.

I tipped based on the pre-calculated amount on the receipt without realizing their calculations. I should have only tipped on the two entrees. This was a chain restaurant, no appetizers ordered, no salads, just two entrees and we were there almost two hours with less than 5 minute wait to...

This thread had made me go look at a receipt from this weekend. DH and I went to eat at a chain restaurant. We were using a Buy 1 Get 1 Free coupon. The kitchen messed up the order and send out an item that was extremely over cooked. They fixed the mistake before we could even tell the...

Only sold online by Influencers, but I like Vial by Perfectly Posh.

Hope everyone fared ok during this storm. Metro NOLA was extremely fortunate, and the storm pretty much went around us.

I love your reports. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences.

My parents were 55 & 56. DH and I were 45 & 46.

I agree with most of what was said above. Also, forget Mother's. It is a "tourist trap". Go to Parkway Bakery. Mouth-watering good.

Chiming in. I am a crocheter. Lately, I have been focusing on hats for my local Cancer Center. Someone donated a lot of cotton to the Cancer Center, so I am making some wash cloths in holiday colors. My next big project is going to be a throw/afghan for a co-workers daughter who is...

I like the one with the blue. CONGRATS on your MINI. We have had 3, went to other vehicles, and are ready to get back into the MINI world.
