Those of you who know me well, know that this is a pivotal New Orleans trip for me. This afternoon, I meet with the real estate agent to put Columbus Street on the market to sell. This was a difficult decision for me this summer, but it was time. And as Eric said to me on my first day here: "Who needs a house in New Orleans when you have an apartment?" Et, voila! Not only do I have a beautiful apartment to stay in next door to my friends...I received the most heart-warming welcome imaginable. Denise took charge of this welcome box-every item so thoughtful and fun! Stew has been cooking up a storm, and I get to smell sweet baby Louie's puppy breath on a regular basis. Life is good and there is lots of love and laughter in my moving on!
Thanks Wend-The house is now empty. Tom and Adrianne came over to get some things they had stored and I had a few odds and ends that we've brought over to Stew and Eric so we can sort it out and make a plan. Most went to Tom and Adrianne-some will stay here-the rest will be donated. And, I will take you up on that bottle of wine from the stash upon my return! Love to you and the kids-you are an old pro at this selling stuff...can you believe that this is the first time I have ever sold ANYTHING? Love Lots, Laury

You know Evelyn-my Dal is slowing down. She and Lucie have done so well...Louie might even be too much for Lucie! He'd fit in my backpack, but I don't think I'd be invited back if he came along! Missing my pack-Love, Laury

Courage to you. Laury! Be sure to give yourself a bottle of wine from my stash chez toi upon your return.....

Do you think you could smuggle Baby Louie home with you? I think Lucie and Sam would love him!(not sure about Dali...he might have too much puppy energy for her!) Your digs are beautiful.

Throughout this process I've talked about the end of chapters, but this feels a little more like closing the back cover of a book. I tend to hold on to it, feel it, remember all that the story held...and then put it down and move on! Love You Sam-Laury

I love turning the page and starting a new chapter...God knows I've turned a lot of pages, and started many new chapters.
