  • Beautiful Louisiana
  • Birds
  • Flowers
  • Alligators
  • Heat and humidity
  • Leaders
  • The struggle between jobs
  • Ourselves
  • Each other
  • Wonderful southern hospitality
  • Southern food (deep fat fried everything ) including sea food
  • The Gulf
  • Mardi Gras (only in part)

  • How very blessed we are to have been born to goodly parents.

  • How much a person can really change when they get the gospel in their lives and trust in the Lord.
It has been a marvelous experience.  We shall never be able to repeat such an experience. We are grateful to the Lord and to all the people we have met.  They have all blessed our lives so very much.
