Our First House Guest

We have our first visitor to Louisiana! Ray's mom got into town on Thursday and will be staying with us for a couple of weeks. It is going to be a relaxing vacation as we don't have any major plans while she is here. Yesterday we all went out shopping (both grocery and to some outlet stores) and then to Copeland's Cheesecake Bistro for dinner. It's pretty funny how much alike the two of us are. To name a few, we both enjoy watching many of the same TV shows including General Hospital & Gossip Girl, like the Olive Garden, drink Dr. Pepper, wear the same kind of make-up and love Ray. I'm so happy that she is going to be here for Thanksgiving too because she is quite the chef! I know that Ray is hoping some of her cooking skills will rub off ~ I'll let you know if I pick up anything.

An update on Champ, he absolutely LOVES Ray's mom. She stayed with Ray for a few months in Arizona and they became great pals. When Mrs. Delia arrived at the house Champ didn't remember who she was for the first few hours...but now he is her shadow! It's quite miraculous to see him - he is acting like a real dog! He's very engaged and will even come when he is called. It is truly a great sight.
