A Toast to New Orleans and YOU! Week of October 14-19- Reminder to RSVP to Northshore Round Table Luncheon on Friday, Oct. 23 at noon at Pontchartrain Yacht Club


Good Morning darlings!

A beautiful, sunny Wednesday, October 14 awaits us! Let's enjoy it and be grateful that we are alive, healthy, and safe. Let's pray for the sick of COVID 19 and the unfortunates that have to succumb to it, and let's not forget to pray for the homeless of hurricanes Delta and Laura. 🙏🙏🙏😘
It’s Wednesday! I’m breathing. I’m healthy. I’m truly blessed. I’m grateful for this day.🙏😜
Keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life’s a beautiful thing and there’s so much to smile about.
Focus on good thoughts and good things will happen. Stay positive, think positive, and do positively on this Wednesday morning!

This past week besides dealing with the anxiety associated with the approaching Hurricane Delta, our New Orleans community suffered two great loss: Beloved Phyllis Landrieu and gay activist-florist Wayne Christenberry.tps://www.legacy.com/obituaries/name/phyllis-landrieu-obituary?pid=196932288
Omg I am totally devastated. Phyllis Landrieu was one of my longtime friends. She emailed me not so long ago to tell me that she wanted to come to my upcoming Round Table Luncheon on October 28 at Galatoire’s
She was one of the pillars of New Orleans community and will be missed by all of us that knew and loved her.
