Dawn’s mother was here for the last week or so, and we were glad to have her.

We basically just stayed within walking distance of the house, although we did hit up the bikes a bit. IMG 0527

This was a bike I specifically built for guests, it was super appropriate that Caroline got to break her in. I don’t think we have a name for her but for now its Dawn’s mom’s bike. Maybe we will call her mother in law sometime in the future (the bike and caroline).

Anyone who knows Caroline knows she is a pretty special lady. She is fun to hang out with inquisitive, infinitely curious, and loves to dance.

We spent a lot of time just walking around and trying out some of the local food.

We also hit out fair share of bars, clubs, and events, anyone that’s been here knows there is an endless supply of those in NOLA proper.

We met the locals, danced and had a generally merry good time.

Her last weekend here we drove out to Pensacola beach and spent a couple days in the sun. That way when she goes home people will know for sure, with that tan she was definitely on vacation.

To Caroline I say thank you for coming, for helping around the house, and for making the time we have here special. Dawn and I are still in love with this city and hopefully it never wears off. We hope you come back, to share the summer or winter months again.

Ill leave off with a quote from her facebook timeline.

“There’s a lot you’ll have to forgive living here, but there’s a lot you’ll never get anywhere else”
6 days here and I’m starting to get this. -Caroline

I don’t know where she got that quote but it rings true

  1. Eli, that is an lovely story about one of the best times I’ve had in my life. And that’s saying a lot because my life has been FULL! You, handsome fiance of my youngest daughter, were the perfect guide to the nooks and crannies of this city when Dawn was at work and every talk and walk I had with either/both of you is branded in my heart. From the 1st walk “down” Royal and “up” Dauphine…(never did really get that) to Kermit Ruffins at Vaughn’s, bike rides through it all and dinner at Antoine’s with Bob it was so incredibly special. moments with Troy & Robin, Sandra & Evert, Bob and Winston were icing on the cake. Until I return a part of my heart remains in NOLA.

    Funny I haven’t met another interesting conversationalist at Vaughn’s since Caroline…
    Hope your application goes through, and see you in Warwick this Summer.

  3. OH my gosh, Winston Lewis ๐Ÿ™‚
    ….I was just re- reading this….got to the bottom….and THERE you were! How nice….So yes….Rrika just confirmed, yesterday & though the dance program was already covered she said they’d like me to back up administration for the 2nd session…looking for good ticket prices now. so strange…..until “the angel” Winston appeared in my life and herded me this way I had no clue I’d be doing this gorgeous heart filling thing that gives me the added blessing of being able to connect with friends I made when Dawn & Eli lived in Brooklyn, on my way home.
    THANK YOU!!!! ๐Ÿ™‚
