When I left Cadrieu last December, I had given a list to my wonderful neighbor who was going to be doing some work around the house while I was gone. Cedric had new light fixtures to hang and relocate, tapestries to hang, and some new stone steps for the "stoop!" It was wonderful to receive the photos of all of the completed work while I was still in New Orleans.
At that time, I thought I'd be back on schedule.
How quickly that changed at the end of March, when Governor Edwards shut Louisiana down and Mayor Cantrell shut down New Orleans.
But, I'm home. I no longer have to hop up to the top on the wooden rail road tie that acted as the only step up. I have two beautiful stone steps that get me (and hopefully my soon to be post-quarantine visitors) up petit a petit and easily!
I often sit on these steps and watch the river flow by, carrying all the gratefulness and happiness that I feel in this place. After the fire, I sat on these steps with a burned out house and my burned up Monsieur Winkelmann behind me and knew...I could go on.
Just this view was enough.
Happy Thursday!
it must be almost surrealistic for you, remembering when you traveled back and forth and even traveled back and forth to Germany and worked there, hope we will be able to travel next year and come by either way, for now, enjoy being settled for good love from the small farmhouse,
