Subject: A Toast to New Orleans and YOU. Week of August 8-16 : Coolinary New Orleans/ New Orleans Museum Month/ Dirty Linen Night & More.....
 


Good afternoon my darling family & friends. It is Monday, August 8, and I feel blessed to be alive, healthy & I am praying that you are as well. Monday is a day of beginnings and new starts. It’s a day where the week is before you and possibilities are endless. Begin the week with momentum and you’ll look back with great satisfaction on all you achieved. So, let’s make this Monday one of the good ones. One where you demonstrate the power of a positive attitude & rocket toward your goals. Have a sparkling week!

I was blessed this past weekend with the company of my cousins I love having them here and they loved Boca Chica as much I do.
