Today we went to:



Miss Charlotte and also newly retired school teacher friend wanted some pics off their 1st day not teaching.(Schools open today) at Margaritaville in the French Quarter.

So here are a few random pictures.

Then the rain came:






This is from in inside M-ville. A wall of Jimmy Buffett sayings. I thought this sums of New Orleans pretty well.
I converted it to black & white so it is easier to see.

During/after y'all's, visit you will see what he means by
this saying/quote:

Love all the pics JJMMx - as usual, they are the best -- I just love the Jimmy B chair - first saw them in Hawaii at the Margaritaville there on Waikiki - and yes, the Buddy Dog loved it too -

can't wait to see all these in person!

You can always find me here and I also have your e-mail so if you want to ask me any questions just ask away, but this is not for another year, and you have lots of time to work on Miss Charlotte

I checked that video that you said and it is beautiful at Christmas time

Dear Carol, but the trick is making them think they are in charge...

Oh now I remember - I forgot to answer your email - !! sorry.... I was suppose to tell you that the Serenade is a nice ship - love that deck plan better than the Navigator! esp when we went to Alaska on the Serenade -- I really don't know what our plans will be that far in advance - we'll see how we like cruising first two weeks of Dec this yr and go from there -

So Jimmy James dear Corkey Carol and I will be in NOLA 6 months or so so we hope we can get to meet you then!

I made the name tags once for a cruise sailing from LA. About 25% of the people were no-shows, but that wasn't nearly as annoying as the ONE woman whose name I had misspelled. OMG, you would have thought that I'd shot her dog. I had made up extras so people I wasn't expecting could write in their names, but that was going to ruin her scrapbook. It was the guiding hand of date that made me screw hers up, out of 50+.

OK, I feel better now.

Jean, well we are all human so did this person have an unusual spelling of her name or was it a simple misplacement of letters? MICHAEL is really common but I have been known when tired spell it Micheal. I trust you have seen something like the piece below...
