A Southern Life

Big Move! – Also Known As A Leap Of Faith

Believe it or not, I am now in New Orleans. I loved the beautiful Twin Lakes area of Arkansas and will be back often to visit with friends and clients, but for now, I’m coastal!

Things I am loving so far in New Orleans include:

Trees that bloom in January
Trees that bloom in January
Fresh Gulf seafood
Getting dressed up for a Mardi Gras Ball
Huge, old oak trees
Huge, old oak trees

One of my favorite experiences when we first got here was learning about Mr. Okra. I was unpacking boxes and started hearing a voice over a loud speaker. I wasn’t sure what he was saying at first so I went out on the front porch to investigate. Here he came in his produce truck.

Mr. Okra

I love the sign on the truck that says, “Be nice or leave!” I’ll get video of him to post for you when I get a chance.

So much to share – I’ll just have to absolutely make the time!

    Aw, this was an exceptionally good post. Taking a few minutes and actual effort to generate a good article… but what can I say… I hesitate a whole lot and don’t seem to get anything done.

    At this time it looks like Expression Engine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

    May I just say what a comfort to discover someone who genuinely understands what they’re discussing online. You actually realize how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people have to check this out and understand this side of your story. I can’t believe you aren’t more popular because you most certainly have the gift.

    certainly like your website however you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very troublesome to tell the truth then again I will certainly come again again.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
