A Toast to New Orleans and YOU. Week of May 1-6 - Happy Jazz Fest/ Cinco de Mayo/ Kentucky Derby and more
Good afternoon my darling family and friends. Today we say goodbye to April! Let's welcome May with open arms and open hearts. Let's make this month a time of joy & make every moment memorable. Please be a good month that brings smiles and happiness to all my family and friends. 
Today, I am looking forward to welcoming my longtime friend Hoda Kotb and her partner Jenna Bush Hager at Jackson Square. I may also go tonight to the Trombone Shorty Festival at Tipitina.
OMG. I feel so blessed to have picked Sunday, April 30 to go to the awesome New Orleans Jazz Festival. The weather was glorious and even though I was only there for only a few hours, I got to see a lot of talented musicians as well as longtime friends. I will return on Thursday to see talented Buddy Guy and Santana.
On Saturday, I enjoyed so much the spectacular show of talented performers Vince Vance, Gennifer Flowers, Tony Seville, Fatima, and others at the Jefferson Orleans South. It celebrated the birthday of my longtime darling friends Meg Farris and Melanie Cole as well.
OMG What a fun and delicious evening at the always spectacular Audubon Zoo to Do. Mother Nature provided the perfect night!
I always enjoyed being surrounded by friends and last night we all spent time together.
Darlings, starting the month of May by welcoming Hoda and Jenna of the Today Show back to New Orleans was a fun way to start it. I enjoyed so much seeing talented Hoda Kotb, Jenna Bush Hager, Karen Swenson, Trombone Shorty, John Goodman, Irma Thomas, Wanda Rouzan, Gayle Benson, Ti Martin, Mark Romig, the WDSU Staff and many other longtime friends.
I was devasted to learn yesterday while reading "In Loving Memory -January -March 2023 " in the TP/Advocate that my darling longtine friend, talented Cary Alden has passed away. We have shared many memorable experience and Ii will miss her dearly.
