What a wonderful surpise I received today in the post! My sweet friend Cindy Adkins has designed a special tag for me and I LOVE it! Please hop over and visit Cindy at her beautiful blog.. she is a very talented Artist! My tag says "The garden of life is precious..I owe it all to Him.." That says it all!http://cindyadkinswhimsicalmusings@blogspot.com
I am now sharing with you a glance at our trip to Marti Gras in New Orleans this past February..Cindy lives in the area. This was one of the best vacations we have had. So much soul and beauty in the community and for all of the hard times they have been through since Katrina we were amazed how things are getting back to normal. 
This is one of the lovely stately homes we came across..imagine having tea on this porch..
This was the view from the condo we were staying at on the Gulf..dreamy..
I have never seen such beautiful oak trees....
The bead throwing begins!
Below is a firehall we came across that is still missing the walls after five years..but they were still using it!
The street musicians were amazing and on every corner..
The food was amazing..
Bourbon Street below..
Thank you for stopping in for a visit and I hope you enjoyed a small glance at New Orleans..if you have the chance to go ..do it! We hope to go back many times..and I hope to meet my new blogging friend Cindy! Blessings..

Hi Wanda,
ReplyDeleteI was so worried that the tag was lost--I'm so glad it got there...yea!!!
And I love your New Orleans and Gulf pics ...so gorgeous! I'm wondering the trees and house are in Biloxi...it looks like Biloxi to me. They are fabulous! And that was so sweet of you to make this precious post and also keep New Orleans in the mind's of people because those here have gone through so much.
Hugs,
Cindy

Hello Cindy
ReplyDeleteThe oak trees were at Oak Alley Plantation on the Mississippi River but the home was in New Orleans. Thanks again for the lovely tag!

Gorgeous tag! It really is lovely and I have so enjoyed reading your New Orleans post - I have never been but it looks like a place that should be on my list of places to get to! I'm a new Follower (found you through Laughing with Angels) and look forward to reading your posts!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of your friend to gift you with that wonderful tag. she is very talented and the tag looks so precious.
ReplyDeleteI've truly enjoyed reading your New Orleans post. I was once in N.O. several years ago but not on a Mardi Gras. that must be quite an event!!
