It's official...I absolutely love it here in this part of Louisiana. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to be living in a warm climate once again!!! Plus there is a ton of stuff to do around here. I truly can't believe that we have not been here a week. The people here are really friendly and we have yet to have bad service in any of the restaurants we've been to. Only one bad meal so far and that was last night. You see, I'm a bit of a gambler and since we've gotten to town have told Ray that I wanted to check out the Horseshoe Casino (the one in Downtown Vegas is my favorite casino), so we went last night...I should mentioned that Ray does not like to gamble or be around the type of people that frequent casinos, which is why the totally stay there was less than an hour. Anyway, I took a page out of Suzanne's book and insisted to stop and get a "players card." By getting this card you can gain points by playing to get comps. Well part of signing up gave us two free passes to the buffet in the hotel...thank goodness we didn't have to pay because the food was terrible. The only thing that was edible was the desert. It was still nice to check it out and the hotel has a CMT bar with a lot of live country music which is pretty cool. You may be wondering what else is so great about the area...well there is plenty of great shopping, a boardwalk by the river, bike paths, good restaurants, an arena (can't wait to see Taylor Swift in concert), and little to no snow in the winter. Every time I tell Ray how much I like it here he says that I haven't even scratched the surface, so it's nice that there's so much stuff to check out.

Way to grab the bull by the horns...it sounds like you're jumping in with both feet. I don't know you personally but it sounds like you'd be fine wherever you went.
Glad to hear that you're settling in ok. I knew you would...seeing as you've basically gone back home. Wish I was down south with ya'll.
80 degrees?? Ok, I really do hate you right now. :-)
