This morning, sprizee and I went to get flowers for my bouquet at the Crescent City Farmer&#8217;s Market. Plans fell through so we raced across the French Quarter to a flower shop near our crawfish boil lunch. We had to stop so I could grab a picture of this young lady.
Tomorrow&#8217;s the big day!

I&#8217;d mentioned my favorite cake was from a bakery near where I spend my days &#8212; she reverse engineered the recipe and made it for me. I&#8217;m honored!</p>
<p>And there were many great gifts. I really appreciated all of it.<br />
