 I'm back from our "girls" trip south to see # 3 daughter and granddaughter Renee.   What a nice trip it was.  #2 daughter Stephani, and two sisters-in-laws Loretta and Sue went with.  We drove my SUV and we were lucky enough to have great roads!  No rain or snow storms to worry about.  Just cool and somewhat grey days, but we were all so thankful for good traveling weather.  Sue and Stephani were both getting over flu and bad coughs, so they weren't feeling 100% for most of the trip.  But that didn't stop us from having a great time.  

We went to a Mardi Gras parade in Youngville and two parades in Huoma on Fat Tuesday.  Did the tour on Avery Island in the gardens and the Tabasco Plant; enjoyed their gift shops.  One evening we did Paint With A Twist, and all of us took home picture!   Enjoyed the Chinese New Year celebration at Jessica's in-laws, enjoying all the good food and company.  Went to the Flea Market at Lafayette one day.  I didn't find anything that I couldn't live without.  Kind of unusual for me not to get something!    Stephani had to go to the doctor one day as she just wasn't getting better.  She got a shot and medicine and now is finally feeling pretty good.  Says she is still coughing a little - that cough just hangs on so long.

We did so many things, I had to come home to sit and relax!!!  Our time went by so fast.
At the Youngville Parade - Jess had shirts made up for us
" Mardi Gras - Minnesota Outlaws - 2013 " 

Painting our pictures!   Jessica's sister in law came with us.
What fun!

With our finished product!  All so unique!

At the Huoma Parade 
Renee's cousin nickname Turtle is on my lap.  We ended
up with so many beads!!!!   Loretta and Sue took home
lots of nice beads to their grandchildren!


Jessica was such a good hostess.  Floyd was working off shore while we were there, so it did end up to be a truely "girls week"!  Loretta and Sue and Stephani enjoyed a lot of "firsts" in the food they tried and things we did.  Jessica had a "big" itineray made up, and due to rain there were only two things we didn't get done. 

Thank you Jessica and Renee for a creating such a great memory for us.  Can't wait to come back south!   Missing you already, Gma Jo

Have a great weekend everyone, JoLynn

It's obvious you had fun by the smiles on all your faces. My sister and I do the itinerary thing, too, when we go somewhere so we won't miss the things we want to see most. However, we have a trip planned in November for a couple of days where we are going to do nothing but relax - - play a couple of games and do a puzzle or two.

That will save you approximately 50 bucks due
to the fact you are going to not need to have a pull up bar right away.

Such a beautiful post, I want to share a testimony on how Dr itua healing herbs cure me.
The worst time has passed”However, it is true that there are more improvements than before...because of the rising numbers of people living with HIV in the state of Nevada. How could they stigmatize all of them? Therefore everything becomes a little easier and we start to share everything... We also started to invite and visit each other in a community. You know, it is six years since I started taking antiretroviral drugs...Yet whatever problems I face, the worst time has passed
When I was evicted from the family home by my mother, my father rented a small room for me. But my mother and brothers believed that having HIV was my own fault – and that I deserved to be punished...I also considered myself unworthy and without hope... But I have a child and eventually I convinced myself to live for my child’s sake.
My mother knew nothing [about HIV]. She didn’t understand anything. Do you know why? She didn’t have [the chance] to go out of the house and communicate with society. However, my father does interact with the community. I know his friends are mature and dignified in africa america. So he has a better understanding than her.
My father came call me on a sadfull day sitting on my couch about a friend of his from africa who introduce him to Dr Itua herbal cure in africa in which he advise we should purchase his herbal medicine to cure my hiv so we did and Dr Itua prescribed I should drink the herbal medicine for two weeks to cure although we were so curious about the whole thing ,I finished the herbal medicine like he advised then he talked to me to visit my nearest clinic for check up I did and now I'm totally cured from Hiv my father was my rock and I and my family are now happy together also Dr Itua has be helpful in my community ever since he cure my Hiv and my tinnitus so why I'm leaving my story on here today is to reach out someone out here to hope on God and never give up no matter the situation you that you are facing especially through this pandemic seasons which has really taught us all on how we should be helpful to each other and cherish one another.
