Return to the Fog

Posted on 29 March, 2015 by Tina

Tuesday came too soon and, with it, my final hours in New Orleans.  I slept slightly later than on Saturday or Sunday, but got up earlier than on Monday in order to pack.  The majority of my beads were NOT going in my suitcase, as they weighed a ton.  I only picked out some of … Continue reading »

Muffelatta Monday

Posted on 29 March, 2015 by Tina

You know what was on my mind for Monday, right?  I intended to have a muffeletta, come Hell or high water! My first stop was at Hotel Villa Convento, though.  I’d met T. on my last trip to New Orleans (we’d gone to Celebration Hall together) and she works most mornings at Hotel Villa Convento.  … Continue reading »

Do You Know What It Means…

Posted on 28 March, 2015 by Tina

to miss New Orleans?  I certainly do!  That must be why I’ve been there about 15 times.  My most recent trip began a week ago.  It started with a 7:20 p.m. flight from SFO to IAH.  Whenever one uses air miles for virtually free tickets (this only cost me $10 in taxes), the airlines tend to … Continue reading »
