Well, I am busy packing - 9 days to go - and can't wait! I have put my Etsy Shop on vacation because even if someone did buy something, I would be hard pressed finding the shipping materials and possibly even the item!
Before we bought the new house, I had planned and paid for a trip to New Orleans at the end of October. I do hope that I have things organized enough in the new place that I will actually relax and not be thinking about everything that still needs to be done at home!
So my mind has been on New Orleans a lot. The Saints have started the regular season with a win over Minnesota and we are going to see them play Pittsburgh when we go. A Saints game is always fun, and this year they have a new open air plaza next to the Superdome built specifically for tailgating N'awlins style. I thought they already did a pretty good job!
WHO DAT!
And, I thought I would just post some pictures of some of the interesting signs you see in the French Quarter.

| Art shop on Decatur Street/ |
 |
| Famous Oyster Bar at the Royal Sonesta Hotel. |
 |
| Art Gallery on Royal Street |
 |
| Very good food here. The name is a take off of the walkway along the Mississippi called the Moon Walk. |
 |
| "Famous" bar on Bourbon at Conti |
 |
| Another Art shop - I think the sign itself is beautiful. |
 |
| A Mask shop - go figure! |
 |
| Book shop - I love these places with the old books. |
 |
| This was at the top of a building just outside the French Quarter off Magazine Street - imagine - Asbestos! |
 |
| This is a great Restaurant on Decatur. |

 |
| They have these flip signs on the tables - when you don't need the waiter for anything - leave it flipped as above. |
 |
| But when you need the waiter for something....... |
And although I have many more signs to share with you, I think the advice above is good for tonight!
See you all next time!
