Revisiting America

Bye for Hi!
We're back! Technical difficulties. They usually don't last a week, but with us? Thanks to granddaughter Caroline in D.C. we will continue our journey.
This has been a busy week but not quite sure how to report it since a good bit of the time has been spent making and confirming contacts.
Monday was a special daY though. We gave ourselves an early "birthday present( mine is in June, and Janie's in November)and took a taxi into N.O.and stepped out of the taxi right at the beginning of the Sugar Bowl Parade(New Orleans from here on out will be N.O.) Ate a wonderful lunch, again part of our present, saw a break-dancing group who had appeared on "America's Got Talent", strolled Bourbon Street, came home absolutely worn out.
Our next big event happened in the room as I was browning a roast to put in the crock pot to cook while we were out for the day. Phone began ringing, fifire alarm went off, the room filled with smoke, and while I'm on the phone with the desk clerk telling me to Not Open the Main Door, turn on the bathroom vent,open the windows, Janie is in a chair fanning, the smoke detector(we have a picture to prove it), we are both laughing so hard we can't stand up. My grandmdaughter Meagan had said the fire department came to these spartments at least twice a week, thank goodnes our episode didn't quite reach those proportions. We can't be evicted at this stage of the game.
Bye for now!
