Things I Miss About Louisiana

I get nostalgic thinking about these things, in no particular order...

Spanish moss
LSU Tigers
Besties
Architecture
Canes sauce
Water in roadside ditches
Crepe myrtles in every median
Boudin balls
Crawfish
Plantations
Heat lightning
Back roads
The "Fifth Season"
Wrought iron
Mississippi River
Parishes
Atchafalaya Basin
The smell of magnolia trees
Zero lot lines
Parrain's
Centenary College
Fresh seafood
Live oaks
Fleur de lis
Natchitoches lights
French Quarter
Drusilla Imports
Courtyards with porch swings
My apartment at Ivy Park



What about you?

A Long Time Gone

I've been remiss. I've been lazy. I've been thinking, not doing.
I've been a long time gone from the blog.  I've been making big plans, rebuilding bridges and coming to terms.
