A Toast to New Orleans and YOU. Week of August 1- 7 : COOLinary and Museum Month / Fidelity 's White Linen Night / Satchmo Summer Fest and more......
Good morning my darling family and friends. Today, Tuesday, August 1st, we say goodbye to a hot July and welcome hopefully a cooler August. May the month of August be filled with the blessings of good health, love, peace, happiness and prosperity.
I am going to be missing today the press conference for the 2023 Summer Satchmo Fest at the New Orleans Jazz Museum. Today is also the beginning of COOLinary and Museum Month of August! Stay cool and hydrated! 
Saying hello to August is saying goodbye to summer. It’s summer’s last hot breath, the final call to enjoy slower days and warm weather. It’s your last chance to indulge. Stay cool and enjoy it.
Darlings, as know I have been spending the last weeks of July at a Boca Chica Beach hotel, where I have been recuperating from Dental Implants' surgery. It as bee quite an order since I have not been able to eat solid food and drink alcohol. I will be staying here until Thursday when I will see my dentist again. My rewards from this ordeal will be hopefully implants and lost of weight.
Darlings, just a reminder that my 18th Round Table Luncheon Saluting the Cultural Season will be on Friday, September 8 at noon at popular Briquette's Resturant:
