Louisiana.... I've been before, but not to the area we visited this long weekend. It was ups and downs: I'd never been there before, so I didn't know the people, and they didn't know me. I was definitely the outsider. So that was uncomfortable. The bathroom was a little odd: half yellow and green plaid wallpaper, half yellow and green floral print (very vivid print, at that). The floor was a slightly puffy yellow Moorish tile pattern linoleum. With a sage green bathmat.
We went fishing. A lot. I don't even like to eat fish. But. We went fishing. I caught a few brim, a catfish - and lost two more, including the requisite "big one that got away." The weirdest thing about the catfish... they make noise! The one I caught made little oinking sounds. I guess he was trying to be scary, but it just made me feel sorry for him. Glad I am not going to eat him/her/it. I also went 'vegetarian fishing.' Caught a leaf, a tree, and two tufts of grass.
I did manage to finish reading The Weed that Strings the Hangman's Noose. It was even better than the first book - I enjoyed all of it, and the main character has learned a little humility. It was an excellent book. I just wish it wouldn't be as long a wait as it will be before the next book. (If that makes sense).
I missed my cat, I missed my sewing machine, and missed my own bed. There's so much to catch up on now that I will be busy busy busy for the rest of the week.
