Louisiana - Aug 2017

While Keith went to visit his family in Texas, Shawna decided to visit her mother in Louisiana - a trip that was long overdue.  She flew in Thursday evening into Alexandria, unfortunately later than planned as she missed her connecting flight in Dallas.  She got to her mother's house about 11pm so she stayed up about an hour chatting and then went to bed.  Her mom made her a lemon cake which was definitely not in the diet plans!!!

She took Friday off and she went shopping in Lafayette with her mom.  After spending a few hours at Talbots and only buying one item each, they went to lunch at Olive Garden, each getting a pasta dish with the famous salad and breadsticks.  Unfortunately, Shawna's mom was not feeling well so we went to CVS so she could take her blood pressure - it was very high, so her mom took her medication and they cut the shopping spree short and headed back home.  That evening, they watched a couple of movies - Snatched (which was not great) and How To Be a Latin Lover (which was hilarious).

On Saturday, we had a few different visitors and then ran some errands.  Jocelyn stopped by in the morning to drop off some yummy chicken and dumplings which we both had for lunch - it was very good.  We went over to Eric and Judy's house, sat on their front porch and caught up with them.  We then went to Marksville to look for a new cell phone for Shawna's mom - she was not yet ready to take the plunge to a smart phone so Shawna instead taught her how to use her flip phone.  Later than afternoon, Joan stopped by to visit for a while.  Then we retreated to the den for more movies both of which Shawna had already seen - The Founder and La La Land.

On Sunday, Shawna left shortly after breakfast to catch an early flight home, arriving back in Phoenix at 1:30PM.
