This is an eye that fell out of Lucy's goldfish. Originally his name was Goldie, now his name is One Eyed Willie (remember the character from the Goonies) !


These are not offshore lobster,notice Paul properly dressed for the crawfish culinary experience. Actually , I am multi-tasking , I found a wine beret for Memorial Day, 31st May and I just wet it and I am shaping it for that day!

Marty!, I don't care what Dominion Command says, I'm wearing the wine beret , the beret I wore when jumping with the Vandoos, Royal 22nd Regiment, 3 Airborne Medical Section!



Andy, Trish & Lucy, these people are not properly dressed for feasting on Mudbugs!
We told lies in the Legion yesterday, the best was from Andy, he told us he was showing a female army driver where her vehicle was located, she made a comment about his Scottish accent, she was very attractive, then she said she had a little Scot in her, Andy said he was thinking, "I wonder if she would like a little more Scot in her!" Later on I said the Scot must be coming out in me today, I only offered to buy a round when it was happy hour (&) a train was going by, drinks 75 cents cheaper! Trish bought a Kodak Digital 9.2 megapixels, , hard case, memory card, Easy share software and USB cable, all for $100. at the Wal*Mart! Should be a lot more photos on homesweethighway from now on! We went on the base with Andy, we seen the twin towers monument, with names of anyone related to 9/11 and Fort Polk. Jaquita brought us a couple of Mason Jars with the Apple Pie (recipe) in them, to be enjoyed throughout our time in the Sun! Andy is busy boiling up the Crawfish, (mudbugs) this will be our ultimate Louisiana experience!

If you followed us last Spring on( $99.00aday), you will know that our first line of defense in the camper is my Louisville Slugger and Trish's hatchet, we are thinking of obtaining a Bowie knife.
Andy & Lucy wanted to add to our arsenal, they wanted to lend us a 9mm which we would bring back in May, we declined gracefully, since we might enter Mexico and possibly Canada on the West Coast during our trip. It does go below freezing here at night, but up in the high 50's during the day, we shopped yesterday in T-shirts and sandals!

Bernie, not a problem with the truck, never burned an oz. of oil. Replacing a low beam today. That's it! Getting 12 miles to the US gallon! Dem Saints got beat by a field goal in overtime, still hope for the Superbowl though, hope their luck changes!
Haven't heard many comments from family or friends or followers on the blog, hope that changes in the New Year, remember when the year 2000 was so special , here we are almost a decade into it, and the world hasn't blown up yet! The Sun hasn't fallen out of the sky, it still shines and especially in the Southern US of A!

" Who dat? Who dat! Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints?" We are on our way to watch the NFL game at the legion, the Nawleans Saints are our team of course, our hosts forbid us to say the words Dallas or cowboys because they beat dem Saints to spoil their thirteen game winning streak, the hope here ,of course is that New Orleans may end up in the Super Bowl. The game is at the Superdome, famous for hosting thousands of homeless after Hurricane Katrina. The legions here are open bars during the week, but Sundays, it is members and guests only! Pot luck supper during half-time. Go Saints! Go Saints! Go Saints! Saints, Sunshine & SuperBowl! Yeh!
