In spite of Tropical Storm Lee, it is still Southern Decadence down here in New Orleans. Nothing stops the party. However, while Lithus and I both enjoy a good drink and relish decadence, Southern or otherwise, there are times when it is prudent to keep one's head down and stay out of the way. Torrential rains combined with drunken revelers is one of those times.
We do, however, live directly above ~ as in share the building with and can look down at the diners of ~ a wonderful restaurant here in the French Quarter. Live jazz is drifting through our open French doors and we are sprawled on our bed eating an exotic cheese plate, bacon ice cream sundaes, pistachio gelato infused with honey and saffron, and sipping on tawny ports.
Welcome to New Orleans. Southern decadence, indeed.
When I was six, my grandparents gave me a suitcase (blue with big, hot pink flowers). I kept it packed and stored in the closet, just in case there was an adventure and I needed to be ready. It took another 34 years, but I'm finally on the adventure. A published author, married to a helicopter pilot, life is fun, crazy, adventurous, challenging ~ but never dull.

Envious!
Certainly one manifestation of "the good life." Marvelous!
