Ever feel lonely when you dont have any PM's waiting for you?

Maybe we should invite her to this thread. Curious to see how long we can keep it alive.
 
Louisiana was a hoot! The people were better than great!

*We arrived down there and the hens traveled just fine. Unfortunately I mistakenly gave her my hen who lays the best, deepest colored egg. Oh well she deserved a great gift.
*The maid of honor was late to the church arriving just minutes before the wedding and my niece was in a panic.

I took her and we went to the bride's room and got her ready. What an honor I had to dress the bride! Love Love Love that girl!

*I held a baby alligator and took my first trip on an airboat - you know - the one with the big fan on back. Beautiful country down that way.

* We went to New Orleans and I walked Bourbon Street. The last time I did that was 34 years ago. I've gotten a bit more reserved and it's gotten a lot more racy. Larry Flint the porn king now owns a whole block right in the middle and i can't imagine what goes in inside the places could be any racy-er than what goes on outside with live girls scantily dressed and calling out and pictures of things that made this 50+ year old blush being shown openly on the street.

* While on Bourbon Street I saw a place that had a mechanical bull ride. Again, not since 30+ years ago have I done that and I wasn't about to let a little - OK a lot- of years stop me. I walked right up and my DH is telling me something about "demure" and such - and told him I wanted to ride. He asked about my health and I told him straight - 2 currently torn rotator cuffs and well I'm a little old for this. Just be nice. I told him I would hold on with the less torn of the arms, my off arm and let him know when I had enough. I couldn't jump my way onto it with my weak shoulders so he came inside the ring and gave me a knee so i could get up on it. He was gentle but gave me a nice ride trowing my hair all about and making me laugh and the spectators howl with laughter. I yelled I had enough and he didn't throw me but stopped the bull so I could get off.

* There is a cathedral in New Orleans. It allows you to walk in at any time and it is so beautiful with painted ceilings. I wondered how anything man made could be so beautiful.
*While we were traveling from Lafayette to New Orleans we went through a town that is all nurseries. I picked up 2 lemon trees for ourselves, 1 tangerine tree for the bride's birthday, and 5 bouganvillia ( 4 for us and 1 for my sister here in Illinois). The hotel staff looked at us like we were crazy when I told them they were not staying in the car but coming up to our room at the Harrahs hotel where they stayed on a windowsill until it was time to pack up the car and go home.
* The plants are in their new pots and the chickens were happy to have their flockmaster back. The flockmaster is happy to be back.
I missed you guys!!!

We drove straight through. 14 hours down and 13 hours back. The car was fine and so were we. Those were the highlights: Dressing the bride, alligators, airboat, mechanical bull, Bourbon Street, The cathedral, the plants. It was a great trip!

Oh! and I swa Sylvester Stallone filming a movie and I'm in the street scene on that coming out in 2013 and I'm in a series on the background with some wildman whos name I can't recall. I call him wildman. He's a crocodile Dundee type of character on the discovery or animal planet series. He take pests out of people's homes by hand like cornered raccoons and snakes and relocates them. Does any one know who I'm talking about and what his real name or name of his show is?
 
Welcome back! I missed you
hugs.gif

Wow, you had quite a trip! You now made me want to go visit Louisiana. One day... But I think I'll give the mechanical bull a miss. Lol
I just love weddings, ironic since DH and I ran off and eloped! The last one I've been to the bride was from Kazakhstan. Her family must've hired an entire plane to carry all the goods they brought with. I've never seen people drink like that, and the clothes! I helped the bride UNdress, not so exiting

. And by some twist of fate, I had to escort her nearly all the way down the aisle.

Bourbon street sounds interesting. Have you ever been to Amsterdam? The Red Light District was well, interesting. I won't go into details here, but it's worth a visit. My then boyfriend answered my questions about what goes on inside the buildings by taking me into one. Needless to say I left very quickly!

The closest I ever came to alligator/crocodile was eating it. It tastes like really tough chicken

Plants are lovely souvenirs, I'd say. Though I can imagine the hotel staff's faces!
And on top of all that you are going to be in a movie! Wow! You must let us know when and where when it comes out. Just say like "37mins in, woman in red top" or something.

Sorry, I've no idea what show or wild man you're talking about. We probably don't get it here unless it's on Nat Geo or Discovery, neither of which I watch often.

I'm out of ciggies, so I'm going to run off now. Have you then any photo's you can show us? I'd love to see you on that bull...
 
Whatever you want to NOT talk about on the public forum
hu.gif
Or just a little one-on-one chat.
 
Wow! I get sick and busy and everyone stops talking! I thought i'd come back to pages & pages of things to catch up on. OK
One of the last things was Sumi wanted to see me on a mechanical bull.

Let's see if I can upload a picture.................


The show we got on in the background is " Call of the Wildman" It's the New Orleans one and we are in Cafe Dumont, My brother in law is wearing the bright red shirt, I am sitting to his right, my husband to my right, and another brother in law wearing the striped shirt. It's just at the beginning.
 
Welcome back! I was wondering what happened to you. Love the pic
