Words and Pics Wednesday!

Hello to all of you lovely readers that still follow along.   I took a small break from blogging.  I had to finish up the semester, which I finished with a super awesome (A) in the class!!  These last two semesters were very stressful.   But I did it!

I've also been sewing- working on some new stuff and also a little project that I'm doing for my niece.  She asked me to take her daughters crib bedding set and make it into something more "big girl".  Her room will still be the same theme, sooooo I'm just trying to figure out what I should make.  I'm sure I'll come up with something.

Well since it's Wednesday I'm sharing some pictures off of my Instagram. 
 

"Words and Pics Wednesday"

 

These are just a couple from the past weeks....

This is theHubs grilling for us on Sunday, we had a great Memorial Day weekend!

What a great Memorial weekend to have some of my nieces and nephews over for some fun in the shade....lol!!  The sun was hiding on Saturday!

A few pics from my craft room.

Okay, I live in TX and we have Buc-ee's and I love their banana/wafer pudding!!!! There I confessed it!

These are the fur-babes and they are always having staring contests!

 

Crawfish season is almost to an end.....soooooo I am getting my fill whenever I can.  Which is usually every weekend and 1 day during the week!!  I'm the Crawfish Queen!

This is Stella and as you can see she isn't too thrilled to be taking a picture!!

 

My crazy family!!  We were having a crawfish boil out on our brand new patio.

 

I have the most amazing Hubs in the world!! He made us breakfast!

 

This is Ms. Betty and she LOOOOOVVEEESS ketchup.  Not any ketchup but the fancy ketchup from Whataburger!!  Yup she's crazy!

 

 

It was great to post, I'll be sure to get back on here soon! 

Everyone have a fabulous week!

So I did make a promise.....

To show off some pictures from our vacation last month.  Well I have yet to download pictures from my cameras.  I am notorious for it.  Ask my family....I can have pictures on my cameras for months.  So sad!! lol!  

Well, what I will show you are some random pictures that I was able to get with my phone before the battery died.....\("o)/ nooooooooooooo!  If you follow on Instagram @fifiybr you've probably seen these before and they're not the best of the pics....so don't judge.

Quite a bit of pictures....so you can just scroll thru if you don't feel like reading any descriptions.

New Orleans, Louisiana

Driving down I-10 East, lots of wetland.

Driving through the French Quarter.

Walking around the French Quarter, this was one of my favorite things to see.  Balconies filled with plants.  I loved just walking around, plus I was trying to find out where Brad and Angelina live. No luck!! lol!!

Inside the St. Louis Cathedral near Jackson Square.  Beautiful stained glass everywhere.

We had brunch at Cafe Du Monde!  YUMMY!!
Beignets and Cafe Au Lait

Stopped by and bought stuff in the French Market.

We had a visit from swarms of Mayflies off of the Mississippi.  My pic does not even show the amounts that were gathered on street signs, lights or buildings. The news said that this was the biggest swarm ever seen in years.

Visiting one of the many shops off of Decatur St.  I think this was the Pepper Palace.

The fountain in Spanish Plaza by the River Walk.  It is surrounded with seals of the provinces of Spain.  We would have walked around to see them all, but it was really rainy those days, there was water every where and I had flip flops on....not good.

Okay....I do not, I repeat do not eat oysters.  But I will forever eat charbroiled oysters.   We stopped by Drago's which are known for their charbroiled oysters.....YUMMMMMMM!  Believe me they are the best.

This is definitely not the best picture, but its a pic of the Bienville Statue.

 Beautiful bridge crossing the Baton Rouge port.

On our way home we made a stop in Lake Charles....L'Auberge du Lac Casino Resort. I love this place, it's really very lovely. The rooms are awesome, the staff is great and great shows.  We just played slots.  I didn't become a millionaire, but we did stuff our faces at the Le Beaucoup Buffet.  TheHubs and I had points on our PlayerCards so instead of paying 20+ bucks per person we only payed  3 bucks and change total...woo hoo!!

Finally, crossing state lines!!

More familiar territory.  So happy to almost be home.

We had a fabulous time there.  We hope to go back again maybe next month.  

Thanks for stopping by!
