Returning From My Trip

Hi,

I know that everyone has been waiting to hear about my trip that I went on to see my family in September. First, I would like to thank God for making it happen for me; also I would like to say thank you to Ms. Edrie Irvine,to all the people who helped her and to everyone who supported me with everything. My wish became reality when some caring customers combined their airline miles so I could fly home.

I left New Orleans on Sept. 5, 2005, after Katrina, and my family hasn’t been together since then. I returned on the same day last month. While I was visiting, I got to celebrate my 45th birthday with my family. I don’t think I would ever move back to New Orleans, because I’m moving forward, but my family said they never thought that each of us would be spread out like this.

When I got to the house, my sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews were all there. Everybody was trying to talk at once; it was a great feeling! Everyone asked me how it was up in D.C., and I told them that D.C. is a lot different than New Orleans.

My neighborhood felt like a lot was missing. It felt strange — you remember things from when you were a kid; even my old house was torn down. Toward the end of my trip, we got crayfish, shrimp, and lots of other seafood. We ate gumbo and the other dishes until we couldn’t eat any more. I’m sorry that I couldn’t bring enough back to feed all of my customers. If you’re planning a trip to New Orleans, make sure you visit the best restaurants so you can appreciate the fabulous food!

I’m glad to be back, and I hope everyone enjoys hearing about my trip.

Good Morning, Good Morning, Good Morning! Have a blessed day.
