April Showers Bring May Flowers

A road trip is on our agenda today and this weekend. Eric and I have left the kids with the wonderful grandparents this weekend for a "duck season is over and I love you for not killing me through 60 days+ of duck season" trip. He surprised me late February with reservations to a bed and breakfast in Natchitoches, LA. Natchitoches is suppose to be the oldest town in Louisiana. We are on an adventure to find seafood and crawdads. Our plans are to nap, read, and eat. Rain is trying to dampen our spirits, but who cares - we are just gonna spend a great weekend together and not let the weather get us down. I hope to also find a few antique flea markets. I am looking for a biscuit cutter - the kind with a wooden handle and metal bottom. My mom has one, and I need one. I don't make biscuits much, but when I do, I always have to look for something strange to cut the biscuits. Also I am hoping to see some pretty azaleas this weekend. It may be a little too late though, because they are starting to grow old around home. So anyway, 150 miles to go according to the GPS. I think I may have to talk Eric into lunch soon. Maybe in ElDorada. Ive always wanted to stop there.
