I just got back from Patterson, Louisiana, where I visited the best dancer in the Coast Guard, Carrie Foster! After my 5-hour drive to LA, Carrie took me out to dinner at the local golf club, which was quite swanky. Unfortunately, our waiter refused to write down orders, and got them wrong more than once. We watched him return to the kitchen with plates from other tables, and laughed when he refused to give us a dessert menu so he could recite them all to us.
After dinner, we enjoyed the second half of the Patterson High School homecoming game (Go Lumberjacks!) and watched Disney channel until bedtime. On day 2, we started with cinnamon muffins and a swamp tour. "Captain Daniel" had the raccoons and vultures so well trained that they would come running from the opposite end of the swamp as soon as they heard the boat's engine. After lunch at the local craft fair (you've never seen so many decorative Saints and LSU smoke pots!) and a few more Disney channel hours, we went to Paula's house for the LSU/Bama game and some amazing snacks.
When we woke up on day 3, we were excited to find that the daylight savings' time fairy had given us a free hour of hanging out! And after a breakfast at a sketchy diner, I drove back home to Texas. There were a lot of hitch-hikers out today, and one clever lady was even holding up a sign that said "WILL NOT KILL YOU"...I considered stopping, but thought better of it as I sped by.
So still alive and
