monday morning

my mom started the day with these kind words:
"....death leaves a heartache no one can heal
love leaves a memory no one can steal..."

gee whiz
and, it's just monday

tip out to you pops
march 12, 1921 - march 29, 1994
you are loved and missed and in our hearts

"lost" by the ropers
90's indie pretty much where i was at then, and now

new orleans at sunset

we rolled into new orleans at sunset, and also dinnertime.
luck would have it our trusty new friend and passenger via craigslist had an idea where we should get gumbo and crawdaddies. 
it reminded me of oaktown off the 880.
we stopped on the way out of town for some freeway inspiration...
cafe au lait and beignets from cafe du monde. 
they fueled us all the way through austin.  we arrived at 5 am.

love & prayers

a couple little things i picked up in austin
they both work!

working backwards, working our way home...

always a challenge to find good food on the road
we were blessed
we found good food and good people,
with free floors for us to crash on
tequila, ghosts and all...
as we made our way back we stopped in memphis for BBQ dinner
and in nashville to crash out... thank you adam and adrian:)

we woke up to southern biscuits for breakfast and delicious coffee at crema

driving 15 hours a day
(in the rain, wind and fog is highly NOT recommended)
but we got home safely sweet safely at 4 am tuesday.
holy bananas

after sleet and hail, and newcastles in the hot tub
we took it slow sunday morning...
i made a point not to miss out on the best jewish deli in NY
(even though it's in CT)

but i did not leave much behind...
and took sour cream coffee cake and matzo ball soup home with me!!
next time you're in vernon, or near, eat here!!
