Thank you, That was a beautiful memory and one which highlights how much life is now different in New Orleans, so, Thank you for the inspiration and Thanks for the reminder of all who are still suffering the affects of the hurricane. Roger

Dear Marilyn, Thank you so much for sharing your heart and these stories with us. Blessings to you, Cindy Forrester

HI Nan, Thanks very much for stopping by and I am glad you enjoyed the post. Take care, Marilyn

HI Deborah, I am glad you enjoyed the post. Yes, I think that many times we look at our parents and see older, frail people and worry that they couldn't handle something like this trip, when in all actually that could be the best thing in the world for them. I think we need to ask our parents instead of assuming what is best for them all the time. Thanks for sharing, Marilyn

HI Lee, Yes, it does make one think! I guess we should be asking our parents more what they'd like to do instead of assuming. ((HUGS)) Marilyn
