Greetings!  Hubby and I are currently enjoying Spring break in New Orleans.  Here are five photos that capture what we did today:

Large mustached soldier guarding tiny toy store

Beautiful French building decorated with lacy iron work

Battered and fried pickles with ranch and honey mustard dipping sauces

This past week I found myself eating my meal and a portion of hubby's meal too. 

Appetite:  Increased, Belly size: Also increased

Sandwich meat

To celebrate St. Patrick's day, hubby made corned beef, cabbage, and mashed potatoes earlier this week.  We've finally finished the pounds of cabbage and mountain of mash. Now, what to do with such tasty salty beef slices?   

Oooh.  It's sandwich time.

It's time

I think it's time that I get a haircut.  The last time I cut my hair was back in July.  Now it's grown past my shoulders and I'm beginning to look like a teenage boy.

Yup.  Insert my round face here.
