Psalm 27 - About "Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." We are not very patient these days. We are mostly into instant gratification. The study writer mentioned the Polaroid camera as possibly being the catalyst. Now, not only do you have your picture immediately, but you can share it with EVERYONE immediately. I thought I would be more patient as I got older, but no. I'm working on it.
On this day:
1861 - Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated on this day. I read killing Lincoln, did you? Good book. I do believe that Abe was a patient person, taking time to figure things out.
2010 - I have worked at a lot of part time jobs, in 2010 I did a short stint selling Jockey line clothes for women. They were great quality, nice looking workout and casual clothes, but pricy for my group. If you are looking to socialize (and gain a few pounds) go into a business doing home parties.
Parenting - After spending a lot of time with your children, as they get older and start going places without you, it is a mixed emotion time of missing them and enjoying the time to yourself. Nicole had gone to a basketball game with her friend Jamie and his parents. While they were gone, I went to the grocery store, the library the mall and called about 10 people. ? So much for down time.
Book Club - The Nine, Behind the Supreme Court, reading about Clarence Thomas. I had only one thought of this man when he was nominated, no I have many thoughts. It also is covering the Bill Clinton trials.
New Orleans - The Big Easy!
New Orleans, Louisiana
Locals say that the South ends fifty miles north of New Orleans. In many ways, this is true. This city is home to a diverse music culture, world-renowned cuisine, voodoo, and Mardi Gras , one of the world's largest parties. New Orleans is a relatively small city which had little concern for what went on outside of it until Hurricane Katrina devastated the city 2005. Parts of New Orleans are still recovering from this disaster but the city's vibrant culture is back in full swing.
French Quarter
The French Quarter, or Vieux Carre in French, is the oldest neighborhood in New Orleans. It lies in the crescent of the Mississippi River and consists of fairly narrow streets, reminiscent of European city planning, that reveal hidden courtyards and look up to wrought iron balconies. The architecture in the Quarter typically dates to the late 18th- and early 19th-centuries, and draws on French and Spanish influences. In the daytime, the French Quarter, especially the area around Jackson Square, is filled with tourists, street performers, and the occasional conman. At night, the French Quarter transforms into the stereotypical party scene. Barhopping college students, adventurous suburbanites, tourists, and others all populate the area until the wee hours.
