Sorry to say, but this site has been so depressing for a few days. I thought I'd ask an average, everyday question....to make us all feel a little more normal today.
I made Eggplant Lasagna, and my BIL and SIL are coming for dinner. They leave for Cali tomorrow to see their beautiful grand daughter.
Sorry, sometimes we just need some REGULAR conversation.......or at least THIS caregiver does.
They are always adding artifacts and different exhibits in the museum. I wonder if you could have found documentation about your uncle. That would be so awesome.
Oh yeah, tons of personal stories about Katrina. We evacuated to Houston. It took forever to get there because of so many New Orleanians leaving the city.
It was very touching
My uncle was in WW11 was a really amazing story, was stranded on a ship for weeks, was declared missing in action. A picture of him and the guys rescued was in the New York post.
I would of liked to look into more at the museum, I didn't feel like it at the time.
Omg your moms doll, that's so sad.
😢
We had a trip planned to DC in April one year, that was the year of shut down in march
The exhibits are phenomenal. A lot of work went into our WW11 museum.
My uncle, mom’s brother, served in WW11, Korean, and Vietnam wars. He wouldn’t have retired but my aunt gave him an ultimatum, the army or her. He chose her.
My uncle brought back beautiful dolls from Japan for Mom, my aunts and my grandmother. He paid a lot of money for them.
Mom loved her doll. She lost it along with everything else when Katrina destroyed her home.
I am really glad that the WW11 monument was built in D. C. I saw the Vietnam monument but I haven’t seen the WW11 monument in D. C.
I was concerned that it wouldn’t be finished in time for the veterans to see it. So many of our WW11 veterans have died.
I have heard amazing stories from my father and my uncle about their experiences in WW11. For a long time they didn’t speak about it. Back then, they referred to it as ‘shell shock.’ Today it is called PTSD.
My older brother was almost drafted for the Vietnam war. His number was really close, and most likely would have been drafted. He decided to enlist instead.
His son, my nephew, served in the Middle East five times. He was always a daredevil and started his military career as a paratrooper.
When he left his children were babies and his dogs were puppies. When he returned home the babies and puppies were several years older.
Then anything to do with Ann Frank.
I really thought the replica of the German tunnels with all the hidden art work, was really well done and amazing.
It really makes you feel like you were there
I cry when I visit the WW11 museum. My dad and uncles served in WW11.
Our cemeteries are unique. Yes, we grew up with them, so it isn’t unusual for us.
To be honest at the time, the best part of the museum was the air conditioning. That was are last day there and I was pretty much done dealing with the heat. 😂
I'm still amazed at your tombs and the whole, kinda crazy process of burials. Crazy to us but completely normal to Louisiana
Boudin balls are amazing! Love them!
What did you think of our WW11 museum? It’s a top notch museum!
I got it boubin balls. I think
Nope boudin!
Sounds good but no one in my family has ever cooked sausage cooked in cornbread. Sounds interesting.
Needs, yeah it came out pretty good. Hubby said he will deal with it once in a while. 😂 He is a meat and potato kinda guy.
He got so picked on by a waitress down there for ordering a burger. She said, "You came all the way here for a burger." It was cute
I am impressed! New Orleans food rubbed off on you!
Needs I think the heat followed me home. 😜
I've made chicken tetrazzini, been a while but nice reminder
Burgers stuffed with grilled peppers and onions, corn on the cob. 😋
I adore Italian food. My DNA shows a small percentage of Italian. I am predominantly British.
My husband is Italian and French. Great combo! 😁
It’s so hot here and I want something cold to eat, instead of a hot meal.
They made that too on the show. It looked delicious!
Correction: I made a meal of glue that looked like gnocchi.
