I have been neglecting this blog something fierce, but now I think I can get back to concentrating on it a bit. Lately, the ladies in the family and I have been planning a birthday celebration in New Orleans in November. I don't know what is in New Orleans that is so attractive in November but everything is high priced and or booked already. Luckily I thought of the Claiborne Mansion where we stayed one Thanksgiving holiday and also where Alyssa's graduation party was held. As soon as I thought about it I emailed Cleo, the owner, and she became as excited at the prospect as I. An all ladies sleepover for several nights in the luxury of a New Orleans mansion. What could be better? She offered the entire main house and we were off and running. Emails were flying and plans were afoot. Flights are booked and we can now settle down a bit and enjoy the summer ahead.
Comfort & Tranquility
Claiborne Mansion showcases beautifully appointed suites with queen size beds and spacious marble baths. Views are charming with two upstairs suites that open onto a balcony overlooking Dauphine Street and the Park. All original marble fireplaces remain and each suite is air-conditioned with individual thermostats, allowing for the utmost comfort in this historic setting. Additionally, we offer a set of adjoining rooms which combine to create a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite that is perfect for families or two couples traveling together.
I tried to use a picture from the ad, but could not, so you can look up Claiborne Mansion to see if you would be happy to stay there if you visit New Orleans.
I must say all is not rosy here. Since the extreme hacking of our accounts, I can not get Amazon to work and I am Kindle deprived. I can order, but they never arrive on my Kindle. They go into order purgatory and remain unrescued. I have a favorite new author and am eager to try her Dead series, but noooooo. I suffer on. On the other hand Netflix has been very good to me. I am currently watching Cable Girls...Andy's Aunt Pinky was one of these women in Cincinnati years ago. I finished House of Cards; loved it. Watching Escape to the Country collection watching people look for homes in the UK--they never seem to buy, however. Slow to make decisions. Better Call Saul was interesting. REIGN, IF YOU HAVEN'T SEE IT YOU ARE MISSING A GOOD VIEWING. The Paradise is good too. Loved the Tudors. Crazy about Doc Martin. I liked the Borgias... Well, not like them as people because they were despicable, but as a series. Have you seen Chocolat? And, I can't forget Suite Francaise. Well, these titles should keep you happy for the summer.
