Morning Coffee . ......Memories...... and Moving thoughts
Today Faye shows me where she use to live.. It was a very moving drive. We stopped the car and looked at the place where Fayes house once stood , before Hurricane Kattrina .Faye told me about that day...The sadness came through as Faye talked. I know this visit was So hard for Faye. I felt the sadness, I had to look away , this was very moving to me, I cant imagine how Faye was feeling..My Heart went out to her. For me, it was hard to visulise...for Faye it was like Yesterday. 
We leave Arabi, and head towards the Chamette Battlefields . this is quite apt ....My being British. !
The Battle of New Orleans Jan 8th 1815 between the British and Americans..
An ancestor of Faye,s...Charles Faustin Dufour served in this Battle as a member of Points Coupe Militia .
After our walk around the House and the Battlefield Faye and I went to a place that Faye knew for something to eat. Rocky and Carlo,s restaurant. This was a very nice family orientated place. We had a really friendly waitress serving us. We chatted and the Waitress chatted with us about lots of places and memories Faye and Patrice(the waitress,s name ) shared .
We left the restaurant and continued on our tour.We drove up St Bernards Highway and Old Arabi , I loved the old wooden houses, dating around 19th early 20th century.Then we headed back to New Orleans. I love these houses,,So colourful. This is what I imagined New Orleans to be like, Charming, Quaint, Colourful .I can almost hear music .Upper Ninth Ward....what a lovely name for this area. , The French Quarters, again, I love these names.
Faye showed me where she lived after Hurricane Katrina. I saw where Louie took Faye for walks.
I love the Barn, ....I could live in that ....
To me, this is what a Barn should look like.
I love the Old Oak Trees too. I do have a passion for Trees and Clouds. .I can see their Beauty in theirBranches ...No, not the Clouds branches, The Trees !!! Didnt you know Clouds dont have Branches ????? grins.
More on Clouds later....I will explain Clouds to you when you are older !!!! Today,s lesson is Trees ,ok !!
