Louie is such a "Welcome to New Orleans" kind of guy...gusto, guts and charm. Everyone loves Louie. How can you not? (After all, he is Louie Armstrong Bertrand-Hosapple!) He rounds out the family in his own, very unique, inimatable way. He is one of a kind! As you can imagine, he worked his charm on my visitor too!
No one cared when he rested his head on the table hoping for a tidbit here or there. (Me, I have a Sammie cat who puts her head in the cookie jar!)
Who worries about that, when you have the honor of watching Stew making pecan pies and shrimp etouffé, and Eric has cracked open the wine and nibbles for you?
Eric gave Rob the grand tour (saints included), while I kept Stew company in the kitchen. Even though we were walking over to Café Degas for dinner, I was doing a little Louie begging of my own. Their invitation to stay was tempting-but our begging bowls of shrimp etouffé turned out to be the perfect appetizer. Stew didn't disappoint us one bit!
oh, you make me smile happily, and I can see you in the more and more worn, getting better and better, pink overalls walking around in NO, perhaps it is actually a bit more "easy" to wear them there in NO than in France, not to speak about Germany or Netherlands ! I'm really looking forward to visit the vintage store with my name :?) purple and gold striped sounds really like NO (in y imagination) now time to make dinner to my family ! lol Niels and I'll try to get back to blog next week

You'll laugh Niels...I've been wearing my pink ones more to work in and run around in. They are toning down a bit-I've found a great second hand shop on Decatur Street that has vintage clothes and a few pairs of overalls. There was a purple and gold striped pair I almost bought, then went back and they were gone. The store has your name on it. We will have to go when you and Bodil are here-and I will go back to see if they have any more over time. I'll keep you posted. Have a great Sunday-Love, Laury
