Got on a bunch, got a bunch more ta go.......HANG 10

Well Glory be, how r ya??
I know it has been a few days, but the weather is so stormy here, and pictures don't go on very well, so Bill & I go to Micky Ds, and I put on as many as I have battery life, then we go home, and wait for the battery to recharge, and Ah will do mo' at a latter date! Got this far, Baton Rouge Museum, Ah still have mo' pitchers, but this is a bunch. Are headed for New Orleans again tomorrow, so will have 4 days to ketch up wich ya. Sorry this is goin' on, cain't hepit!
The Museum was such a cool place, did you know that even Elvis started His career here, Faron Young, Hank Williams,Sr. ,Johnny Cash, Louie Armstrong, Fats Domino, Little Richard, and so many more Blues players, that didn't get famous, but played their little hearts out right down here! They had the best Mardi Gras section, a Cajun,Acadian section, A Huge shrimp boat went from the first floor clear to the top of the building, and of course you saw that Giant Craw fish, YUMMO! So much history, we were there over 3hrs, and could have stayed longer, but got hongry.
I only showed a portion of the Old Court house, it was as spectacular as the new one to me. Very Ornate, and that staircase was spectacular!! Just imagine going to work in such a beautiful place everyday, Bill says pretty soon you wouldn't even notice, NOT ME, I doubt I would ever get over the Grandeur!
The pictures I can't wait to get on are of a place called Grande Isle, I won't tell you anything because you wouldn't believe it anyway, I GOTTA SHOW YA!! We went to Avery Island, The Tabasco Plant, the town of Thibodeaux, my daughters last name is Thibodeau, so HAD to go there, and Yesterday we went to New Orleans, took a tour of the Katrina area, the pictures and the story are heart wrenching, and we went on the Steamboat "The Natchez". That was such fun, turned out to be a really mild day for the boat ride, and we were so thankful. So ya see, I got a boatload, or Shipload,take your choice, of Pictures to get on here for you. Tomorrow we head once again for New Orleans to see the WWII museum, and walk around the French Quarter and the surrounding area a little, have been told not to stay after dark, and if we do, KNOW exactly where we park our car. So far we have never been afraid anywhere we have gone, but we aren't foolish either.
Lord willing we leave here on Monday or Tuesday headed for Houston,TX. , and parts south. So come on along, hang in there for pictures, they will come and I will explain them as I go, at least as much as my memory will let me, HA!! Love to all & Smiles, Arlette & Bill too, and the lonely Sassy, too hot to go with us!
