What wonderful weather. We did get to go on a bike ride. John, myself, and friends of ours rode to Louisiana. First we traveled down the east side of the state. One thing we did that John had never done was rode a ferry to cross over the river. The old live oaks, azaleas, and dogwoods tree were the most beautiful I have ever seen. The azaleas were huge, taller than the houses, and the colors were brilliant. Stayed in Homua LA the first night. Ate some good seafood. The next day John and I headed south to ride through the swamp and bayou country. Our friends headed home. We covered 84 miles of terrible roads. Still lots of damage from all the storms last year and before. We did see some big GATORS.......and miles of swamp grass. The sugar cane is starting to put on new growth. Making our way to Lake Charles, we move back north up the west side of the state. Spent the second night in De Ridder. After riding by so many crawfish farms John had to eat some. They serve crawfish everywhere. He ate 8 pounds of the mud bugs at a Bar B Q place. I had ribs.

Today we got up and traveled north through several National Forest area. Went to the old historic town of Natchitoches on the Cane River. It was a beautiful little city. Had lunch at a place there on the old cobblestone main street.

After filling ourselves we hit the interstate to make time coming home. We always stop at one of our favorite places in Delta LA called the WORLD. If you have never stopped there, which Im sure most people havent, you should one day. You can get a 16 oz ribeye steak for about $14. Now that is a deal. They also have an old time hamburger and fries for $4.50.

My spring great ended great with all the warm weather and getting to ride. Still cant bring Taffy home but she is doing well. I called today to check on her.

Til later...leave me a comment if you would like.

It is now 10PM Monday evening, I just made it in from Chris' house. I went down to go with him for a doctors appointment. Thank goodness he got a good report and no surgery is required now. He will go back in 2 months, just to be sure things aren't changing.
Got all my stuff out of the car and put up. When I left the other day ,of course it was raining, so now I have a new leak in my roof. I will try to see about getting this repaired in a few days when thing dry out. Weather is looking clear for the rest of this week .
Yes.............finally some riding weather is on the way. Tomorrow I'm going to get up, do my house work, then crank my bike and ride. Hopefully Im make it to a rally or something this week end before heading back to the class room. But I assure you I will ride.
Also have to work in a trip to go see my sweet Sydney. Checking on Taffy is also a must for in the morning.
Want to get some pine straw out in my flower beds and plant my corn in the garden. This all depends on how we dry out.
Have a great week to anyone that reads this...........my spring break is looking up.

Rain.....Rain.....go away. Guess we all knew we would be starting our spring break up the weather woosssss. Lets just all pray it passses quickly. Every one have a safe spring break and all our HA student enjoy this time off. This school year will be over sooner than we all know, only 41 days left on my count down.
Taffy seems to be doing ok with her treatment, still keep praying for my baby dog.
Have a great day....even though it is raining.

Last week at school was very busy with all the events we had going. Those all went well and now we are finishing up exams. Then, tomorrow spring break begins..........boy am I ready for a break. Have a few things plan, once I get those done I might take off for Nashville for a few days. I always love getting away.
There are plans to go to Louisiana for a bike rally this week end. The events will be inside so we might ride anyway...........just bare the weather and rain for the ride. Hey "No guts No glory"
Taffy is at the vets for her heart worm treatments. I have been so very very sad and lonely. She has been with me every since I got divorced. Even when I would be out of town she always stayed with friends. My baby Taffy has never been away like this. If her treatment goes well it will be worth it. I sure miss her......
I put together a dish to cook for supper.....it is a chicken and rice dish. I love black beans so dumped those in also........dont know what Ill end up with but again "NO guts NO glory"
Have a GREAT SPRING Break to all the kids.....enjoy and be safe.
