Come on in and enjoy some southern
hospitality. Please
sit and get comfy.....let me get you
something to drink,
an iced tea?... or perhaps a mint julep?...
and let's get
to know each other a little....not too much
now, a
southern woman prefers to have a little
mystery about
her.
You are now visiting me in the lovely state
of Louisiana,
just across the lake from New Orleans, in
beautiful bayou
country. The living is slow and easy here...
we still sit
on our front porches and sip a little
something.. and
enjoy the soft summer nites, looking at the
stars,
listening to the
crickets
and cicadas, maybe giving the porch swing a
little push
now and then.
It's peaceful out here in the country, and if
you get up
early enough to go out on the porch and see
the sun rise,
you'll also see the rabbits, the squirrels,
the birds
, and
if you're really lucky... a deer or two
nibbling at the
edge of the woods. You'd never know that less
than one
hour away is the hustle and bustle of a big
city
We enjoy the tranquility here.
I have my
gardens, and the roses are doing beautifully
this year,
and I paint and read when I get the time. My
husband is
the wizard of this little universe. He keeps
everything
running smoothly, the yard in perfect order,
moves plants
for me from one area to another, built a
curved bridge
over the creek, and in general, can do just
about
anything.
Now I would love to show you some beautiful
antebellum
homes and all the lovely things to see and do
around here
so please follow me to the next page, I'll
even feed you,
so ya'll come.......
