I’d give to you a day, just like today
Tin and I got up and went to Zumba and had a particularly wonderful class. Then we showered and went to Louis Armstrong Park to go to Music for All Ages, which is one of the best kept secrets in New Orleans. Any child can show up with an instrument and be taught to play and play along with these seasoned professionals. It was good getting back into the groove – we haven’t been in over four months. As if no time at all had passed, Tin was sitting in Sunpie Barnes’ lap (he told me that he wasn’t happy that we cut Tin’s hair – I said neither was I!).
And while I couldn’t get him to dance at Zumba this morning, he was shaking a tail feather as soon as Eve hit the scene:
Then we headed into the Quarter to see the Mississippi and to eat pancakes (Tin’s idea, needless to say).
Tin made four wishes, one that his Mama come home from NY, and three for me, him and Tete:
Look at him enjoying pancakes and a mocha freeze in Camelia Grill’s new French Quarter digs:
I ate half of my scrumptious chili cheese omelet – big YUM:
We wandered to the Mississippi and saw the Steamboat Natchez and note to self: I’ve promised him a million times that I will take him on it.
I loved this tee shirt I saw on Decatur Street:
It was the first time I felt like we were totally back in our groove:
And hey, the day isn’t over yet! Love you NOLA.
