I'm Back in Full Effect... (well almost)

I'm back... Back to the land of "the beignet eating, coffee with chicory drinking, random second line dancing, Who Dat Nation" of NOLA (that being New Orleans, LA... You would be surprised at the number of people who don't know what NOLA means. But in their defense, they are non-natives, of course.) I'm not quite unpacked and settled but I have already hit the streets of New Orleans to find inspiration for the blog.

Yesterday before meeting up with a dear friend of mine, I decided to take advantage of free admission Wednesday's at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA). It has been years since I have visited NOMA and I was so excited to go because it has a special place in my heart (shared of course with other NOLA places, things, and people.) But, my affection for this particular place is because I remember visiting the museum as a child with my mom on a school trip and while the other kids were bored out of their minds, I felt something come over me... You know, the feeling you get when you meet someone and talking with them feels so natural that it feels like y'all have been friends for a lifetime. So, for me, it was like meeting that friend that I never knew existed and from that day on never wanted to exist without. Funny how things like that happens, even early on in life.

OK, anywho, before revisiting my beloved yet severely neglected friend (lol), NOMA, I strolled through City Park's Sculpture Garden, which was a refreshing, brand new experience for me. It made me reflect on how lovely it is to be voluntarily unemployed. But, since my great grandparents made me a victim of a bad taste joke, that being NOT funding my trust fund that would have made me independently wealthy, sadly, my days are freedom are growing increasing short. But, no worries... I have learned the family way! I'm loyally continuing the family joke for all future generations to come. HA, HA...

I'll take some better shots soon but here's a peek...
