A New Orleans Monarch...

..on Orchid Street made the Thanksgiving morning walk even more special. My "Ms. Williams of More" was waiting for me there with the rest of her family. We do coffee up right anywhere in the world, so we coffee-ed and cut up sausage for the gumbo, while her Mom began other meal preparations, Dad watched TV, and a sweet brother was stirring in the other room. We enjoy a comfort of family when we are together. Our friendship has endured and become stronger, even though I've been 5000 miles away for almost 7 years. I look forward to the moment when  Gaynell and Dali and Sam see and experience each other for the first time in all those years! I expect even MORE SPECIAL!
