It’s been a busy month and it’s just midway. We spent a long weekend in New Orleans for Hubby’s work. My mil and fil joined us and while Hubby went to a conference, we toured the area. I had hoped to post about it and our impressions of the changes due to Katrina (we were there about 5 years ago for another conference), but time has gotten away from me. If you go into Flickr, you can see our pictures though.
It was a wonderful trip and included taking Tochter into Texas (yes it was out of the way, but I guess German’s are fixated about Texas and people talking ‘like they have a tomato in their mouth’ - her words, not mine) We did have one mishap on the road outside Little Rock, Arkansas. I’m not sure where it came from, but I ended up hitting a 12×12 inch timber. The car in front of me (a truck pulling a Uhaul trailer) didn’t swerve and there it was with no time for me (at 70 mph) to avoid it. Blew 2 tires, but no other damage.
I have no idea of what the town was that the AAA truck took us to, but the Goodyear dealer stayed late and had the tires changed and us back on the road in only 2 hours.
On another note, I’ve added a page about my leatherwork. I explain on it why I did.
And this week the girls (Girl and Tochter) and I are off to visit New Mexico. We’ll be staying with Jo for part of it and are looking forward to the trip. Hopefully flying will go better than visiting my sister, L, last October.
