Jim, Stacie, Nate and I went to the Auto show. We are shopping for a new car. Boy are they expensive! We went to Cayenne for the first time. We liked it a lot. The kids have been here several times.

Day 97, Saturday, April 7, 2018
This is a picture of Stacie and her friends all dressed up for the Mardi Gras fund raiser!
Day 95, Friday, April 6, 2018
We are waiting in the airport for our plane to arrive. It was about an hour late. Hopefully, we will have enough time in Chicago to get some lunch! New Orleans was a nice place to visit in the Spring. I would not want to be there in the summer!
Day 94, Thursday, April 5, 2018
We spent the day at Jackson Square. I stopped at one of the vendors and she read my Tarot cards. It was very interesting. We ate dinner at Harrah's Buffet, because the menu was supposed to be seafood, but it wasn't. I did try crawfish, but I don't like it! Beignets for the second time for the win!
Day 93, Wednesday, April 4, 2018
This morning we went to the World War II museum. Jim's dad was in the service during this war. In the afternoon, we went to Mardi Gras World. This is a working warehouse where they make and store some of the floats.
Day 92, Tuesday, April 3, 2018
We went to the Zoo this morning. We rode the streetcar to the Garden District. It is a very nice area of New Orleans. Of course, the giraffe is still my favorite animal in the zoo. We walked down Bourbon Street and had Beignets at Cafe Du Monde.
Day 91, Monday, April 2, 2018
We went to the Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium this morning. Jim is petting a cockroach! I told him to use the hand sanitizer! We also went to the aquarium this afternoon. We ate dinner at "Poppies". We had steamed pot of shrimp, crab, sausage, corn and potatoes.
Day 89, Saturday, March 31, 2018
I think he knows we are leaving in the morning. But he gets to stay with Nate this time!
Day 88, Friday, March 30, 2018
I didn't see this happen this year, but I have seen him walking down Court street many times in the past years.
Day 84, Monday, March 26, 2018
Paxton came to visit us at school, today. He had a cancerous tumor behind his right eye and it had to be removed. He is a St Jude patient...one of the reasons I donate to St Jude!
Day 83, Sunday, March 25, 2018
Stacie is going to a Mardi Gras fund raiser in a couple of weeks. She wanted to make some fancy shoes. She got these black pumps at Goodwill and we blinged them up!
Day 80, Thursday, March 22, 2018
We woke up to a sheet cake pan full of homemade beef jerky. We have been buying it at Costco and Nate wanted to try making it. It is better for us, because of fat content and sodium.
Day 79, Wednesday, March 21, 2018
Nate is having a little snack. Berries and cereal...that is one of my small mixing bowls!
Day 77, Monday, March 19, 2018
I started counting "Macros" recently. This is the closest I have come to my protein goal, which is 161 grams.
Day 76, Sunday, March 18, 2018
Nate started some seeds in the window this last weekend. They are growing pretty good so far.
Day 75, Saturday, March 17, 2018
Today is Jim's birthday. He had to wear his Cardinal's green jersey to Kouri's for his green beer.
Day 74, Friday, March 15, 2018
I still enjoy getting awards from my fitbit. I didn't know the Great Wall of China was 5,500 miles!
Day 73, Thursday, March 15, 2018
This is Coco's 6th birthday. I can't believe we have had him that long already.
Day 72, Wednesday, March 14, 2018
Today is "Pi" day. 3.14.18. One of our staff likes to celebrate by bringing "PIE" for "Pi" day!
Day 71, Tuesday, March 13, 2018
On Tuesday nights, there are multiple shows we like to watch. Well, actually, we like different show. This is what I saw when I went to the kitchen, tonight.
Day 70, Monday, March 12, 2018
We bought a water barrel at Costco to catch the rain from the downspout. Nate got it all hooked up.
Day 69, Sunday, March 11, 2018
I have been trying to do some meal prep. I clean the fruits and veggies for the week and put them in food saver containers. I also cook about 5 pounds of hamburger and freeze it. This saves time during the week for quick meals using ground beef.
Day 68, Saturday, March 10, 2018
This PITT pen makes the best lines and they don't smear! The pen has India ink in the barrel. I did the same design in my journal as I did in the circle journal.
Day 67, Friday, March 9, 2018
I printed these images from google to put in my big art journal. I can't wait to get this one started!
Day 66, Wednesday, March 7, 2018
I have several art journals that I am working it. It has been a great idea to have a dedicated space for my art journal. I have been waiting for an order of markers to get here. I ordered them from a store about 45 minutes from here and it has already been a week!
Day 65, Tuesday, March 6, 2018
I am so happy the sky is getting bluer everyday. It seems like the sky is always so dark in the winter months.
Day 64, Monday, March 5, 2018
I had a doctor appointment this evening. I really like my new doctor. We are changing some of the prescriptions and I will have to go back in 3 months for blood work to see how I am doing.
Day 63, Sunday, March 4, 2018
Peyton and Cyndi were at our house over the weekend. Peyton was interested in the puzzle that Nate had been working on. He took a puzzle home to try for himself.
Day 62, Saturday, March 3, 2018
Jim and I went with Stacie and Nate to the Parkinson's FundRacers dinner. Our friend Rob Oliver made and donated the pulled pork for the event. I won a gift certificate from Applebee's for $25.
Day 60, Thursday, March 1, 2018
I love my Happiness Is... ornaments. This sits on my shelf by my desk.
Day 58, Tuesday, February 27, 2018
We always have a door decorating contest for Read Across America day. We always have the students help us with the decorations. They stars have their school photo on it and they also wrote the name of their favorite book. They got a cup of goldfish crackers for helping us.
Day 57, Monday, February 26, 2018
This is what ended up happening in my art journal last week. I did one just about the same in the circle journal. I just changed the quote. It didn't turn out the way I saw it in my head, but it still ended up okay!
Day 56, Sunday, February 25, 2018
I am another group of cards for our card swap group. I had a bunch of these Tim Holtz Crazy Birds already colored, so I made the backgrounds to match. I hope they like them.
Day 55, Saturday, February 24, 2018
We had a crop today at my school. This bunch of girls always has a good time. I am so thankful for their friendship, always!
Day 54, Friday, February 23, 2018
This quote couldn't be more accurate. Even in their 30's this still applies.
Day 53, Wednesday, February 22, 2018
My son thinks he is so funny! The note says..."Still one left!"
Day 52, Tuesday, February 21, 2018
I haven't done an art journal page for a while. I set up a work area in my scrap cave over the weekend. I have a circle art journal with a couple of friends. We are planning to crop together on Saturday, so I need to get this finished!
Day 51, Tuesday, February 20, 2018
To celebrate Stacie's birthday, we went to Jonah's for dinner. Her birthday was yesterday, but Jim has tennis on Monday nights, so we went tonight. Crab nachos for the win!
Day 48, Saturday, February 17, 2018
We did some errands this morning. It started snowing and it turned bad before we headed for home.
