I have a photo of a gentleman covered in hot pink ostrich feathers. <br /><br />I'm thrilled you will be visiting George at Jesuit Church. He might tell you to visit the Maple Leaf Bar to listen to the Rebirth Brass Band after you have dinner next door at Jacques-Imos Cafe for real Nawlins food.

I have gained a lot of respect for Brad Pitt and what he is doing in the Ninth Ward. And Sandra Bullock is putting her money where her mouth is, but then, she always does.

And we tell him you sent us. Pete was taught by Jesuits Priests.<br /><br />Like you, I too could feel hope coming back when we visited last year. I too was thinking about this last night while listening to this story http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=129495400<br /><br />New Orleans is such a magical place. I am fortunate that my parents lived there. It makes my heart smile that your husband is from New Orleans!!!! Because I know that You know the secret. In my heart, I'm part New Orleanian and part San Franciscan. Do you think this makes us somehow related?<br /><br />Please let me know if there is anything I should check out this time around. You never told me if you liked Herb Saint. We had a memorial experience.<br /><br />xox<br />Constance<br /><br />ps I'd like to see a photo of your beads too.rochambeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02142325813293645555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-58041396823999475462010-08-30T07:33:04.959-07:002010-08-30T07:33:04.959-07:00well written reminder of this devastation thank y...well written reminder of this devastation thank you.margiehttp://www.soeursdujour.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2272874592438082683.post-66130634438741840422010-08-30T05:28:41.253-07:002010-08-30T05:28:41.253-07:00The Phoenix has risen from the ashes once again, D...The Phoenix has risen from the ashes once again, DB.
