Moe!

Vincent and Lola lying in bed,after a couple of weeks of hard work!....I have been flying my butt off,so we have a little money,and Vincent has been running the B&B by himself....and doing a fantastic job!
Whilst I was away,we shot up to number 14 on tripadvisor (a very important website,that ranks hotels!) and he got some wonderful comments from our guests...Yeah Vincent!
This week will be semi quiet,and then it will fill up again for christmas,new year,bcs bowl games (college football) superbowl and of course MARDI GRAS!

I took vacation in January and February,so Vincent will not be alone!

Happy Birthday!

I think Frank is saying "happy birthday" to Ria today!

Vincent built this beautiful cage for the boys....and now the boys are able to run around,inside and outside!

How lucky am I and the boys to have him!

Me

Here I am,in my hotel in San Francisco at 3am,after a long night.Our flight had to divert to Denver,because there was something wrong with the onboard computer,and the captain no longer wanted to fly it to San Francisco....I think we finally got to SFO at midnight,and I had to get up at 3am,so I could fly to Los Angeles,to catch a flight back home to New Orleans.

The joys of commuting...
Lola moe.

A hidden gem of a wine bar

I found this amazing wine bar called Bacchannal here in New Orleans,its this little shop where you pick out your wine,then you grab some wonderful cheeses out of the fridge,grab some bread,and sit outside in the garden and enjoy everything.....

Monique

Here is Monique,our housekeeper,although I call her wonderwoman,she is the best human being I have ever met...honest,reliable,kind,hard working and just amazing....

She calls Vincent Mr Vince and me Miss Lola....

Polly and Creighton

Polly and Creighton came to stay at the B&B as a surprise gift from their children,for their 50th wedding anniversary...They are both in their 80's,still enjoying the good life,and still very much in love...We had a blast with them,such lovely people...

Vincent is really loving this new life and job,meeting such remarkable people and having the time to sit with them and talk about their life...

New Orleans

New Orleans on a sunny late October day...Vincent and I took a stroll down the French Quarter and had an amazing lunch at the Green Goddess...
Life is good...

Only in New Orleans will you find parks where people are working on their "tight rope" skills...

Vincent and Dieudone

Work,work and work!

The last couple of weeks have been all about work,work ,work and work!...No rest for the wicked...We are finally getting a little more organized ( see the photo below,with all of my boards...but hey,it works!...)

There is still a lot more to do...this past week I flew up to Chicago to fly a domestic trip...It took me quite a while before I managed to get a flight home,and it was exhausting....

Today was an easy day,so we are going to bed early....tomorrow we have a full house!

Going for a walk

I gave Rick and Lisa our pet stroller,as our boys would never go in there...and they loved it! They have two little dogs named Dixie and Jackson,who hate to walk....so Lisa and Rick put them in the stroller,and took them for a walk....Here are the results!....

The Dance

This is what we were taught to do,when The Saints score a touchdown...The Dance!

Lisa

Lisa and Rick,one of the owners (and our bosses) invited us to come and watch The Saint's play at their home.Their home was amazing,so homey and inviting!
We had a blast...we are so lucky to have them as our bosses!
