TGIFriday

TGIFriday!

Well, we made it!  Another week survived and a good weekend on the horizon.

Spring is in full swing in New Orleans (as it has been for months now in the absence of any real winter).  The weather is beautiful and Fridays during lent can only mean one thing...


I love getting together with friends to boil crawfish, fry fish, or just to  unwind at the end of the week over a beer on the porch.

I've also been spending a little more time in the French Quarter, since a friend bought a condo on Royal Street.  This is the time of year to fall in love with the Quarter!  It is also the perfect backdrop for taking it easy and watching the changing scenery. 


I have been reading Natalie Scott, A Magnificent Life, by John W. Scott.  It is a wonderful book and she was truly a woman ahead of her time.  Also, it is lovely to hear how people dressed, spoke, wrote and enjoyed themselves in a much different time.  I love reading about all of the places in New Orleans she spent time, and she was one of the original founders of La Petit Theatre.

La Petit Theatre
616 Saint Peter Street

Cafe Amelie
912 Royal Street

Cafe Amelie has the perfect courtyard for eating outside this time of year.  I would love to bring the family there for lunch on Saturday and enjoy the beautiful weather.  Or maybe we'll do something more like this...

Ahh, the simple joys in life. 

 Enjoy the weekend!

  1. I miss New Orleans the most in the Spring, before it gets too hot. I also miss it in the winter, when I'm shoveling snow and it is 20 degrees outside...
