Can you tell what this is? It's a bad picture, I know. These are the palm trees at the entrance
to this complex. That's a whole big bunch of lights and I would not have wanted to string them up.
Pity the person who has to take them down, too.
We were gone all day today TCB. That means "Taking Care of Business". We managed to get everything done successfully. On the way back we stopped at a Rouse's grocery market. They had their fresh King Cakes out and we were able to get the last Bavarian cream filled one. If you have never had a King Cake, I am sorry. And if you have had a King Cake, but not one made by Rouse's, I am very sorry. They have a great reputation for being the best you can taste. That King Cake did not disappoint. That was our meal tonight since we had a big and late lunch today. Then we went for a long walk in the cool night air. That was fabulous. The King Cake was our good news #1.
As soon as we got back, we went running into the office, a mere 5 minutes before it closed, and asked them to see if there had been a cancellation on the 31st. YES! They had a cancellation. That means we do not have to move out for one day. We can stay until we are ready to go. And we will be here for all the partying on New Year's Eve. That was good news #2. And that was fabulous news indeed.
The park had filled up a great deal today and they all appear to be LSU fans. If I can get some pictures of how they decorate I will. Evidently we are about to witness some of that wild LSU partying fun. We witnessed that one year at Breaux Bridge. And we will never forget it. We hope this is as much fun as that. Those crazy Cajun people know how to party. You could call that good news #3.
And how could I forget? We were able to purchase 2 huge bags of fresh Satsumas today. You know how we both love those. That is definitely good news #4. We feel like we have won the Lotto today. So many wonderful things happened to us.
As we were unloading the car, the couple across the street drove in and acted like they were going to run over me. He yelled out the window that we owed him $20 for parking here and laughed like a nutcase. So I had Jerry take him two Satsumas and tell him to put the $20 on our account, on account we never intend to pay him. A fun conversation followed and they are going to let us in on a secret place in southeast North Dakota where we can stay for the summer. Sounds very interesting. Not saying we will do that, but it's always nice to have info like that handy for future reference. Maybe we should count that as good news #5.
What a great day!!
