***What’s your ringtone? Mine is “God Bless the USA” aka “Proud to be an American.”

***After riding around on the boat yesterday, dodging logs and debris, I believe that no restaurant in town should serve any dish with “Pontchartrain” or “Tchefuncte” in it right now…just saying….ewwwwwww.

***New places I filled my stomach over the past week and avoided cooking:
Pal’s Ice Cream & Yogurt Shop in Mandeville. The smell of the homemade waffle cones could make me want to move in there. However, I refused temptation and opted for the non-fat yogurt (delish) while the kids enjoyed their ice cream.

La Caretta in Mandeville. I went there under its’ previous ownership and was not impressed. We sat outside for a dinner with friends, enjoyed the band, commented on the beautiful renovated inside and all of us enjoyed an amazing dinner!

Morton’s in Madisonville. We were out for our Sunday day on the boat. Usually we do “boat food” but I had a better idea, to dock and eat in Madisonville (everyone bring shoes and a shirt). We enjoyed a most amazing lunch of catfish Po-boys and a really cool atmosphere. Note to self- go back there and hang out at the bar with hubby!
