Lafayette Life

We are well on our way to a big spa in our tiny backyard. Photos will be published on Flicker here. More will be put as we proceed.
Just a hint.

She is returning from the big city to be a Team Lead in COV. Welcome! Updated to have smaller size pictures.

Update my blog. Like today, for instance. All this week, I have been working the photos, working the captions, arranging, culling, and finally got them in shape. So what happens? I put 250 photos on the web all at once. But they ARE arranged into albums, and I did delete the crummy ones and the duplicates (here’s John smiling, and here’s John smiling again, and here’s John kinda smiling… you get the idea). And I did remove the red eye (except for Marilyn Manson) and I did brighten up the dark ones (but can’t do anything about the dork ones). So slide on over to the right where it says Photo Pages, and spend a couple of hours visiting with the Comeauxs and the 2009 Thanksgiving-Christmas-Holiday season. It’s the right thing to do.

Oh boy, more photos. We spent a 4-day fun trip to Tiki Island, which is a little boat-and-fishing village that Faye is allowed to use. We also had some good old Chicken Spaghetti for John’s birthday, and this time invited the Prayer group. Last week Phyllis spent hours at the hospital with her Mom, who was suffering from low hemoglobin. Well, on Halloween day after her treatment when her levels came back up, she felt so good, she came out to eat with us, and then we all dressed in costume and crashed David and Des’ party.

So click on the links, and Make it So, Cher.

Fun Things to Do in an Elevator
From: “Cap’t Bob” via CarTalk.com

Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, “Shut up, damnit, all of you just shut UP!”

Whistle the first seven notes of “It’s a Small World” incessantly.

Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask, “Got enough air in there?”

Offer name tags to everyone getting on the elevator.

Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you “Admiral.”

Stare, grinning, at another passenger for a while, and then announce, “I’ve got new socks on!”

Meow occasionally.

Bet the other passengers you can fit a quarter in your nose.

Walk on with a cooler that says “Human Head” on the side.

Wear a puppet on your hand and use it to talk to the other passengers.

Say, “Ding!” at each floor.

Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.

Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

That’s right. Slide your mouse pointer over to the right to the place that says Photo Pages on Lafayette Life, and check out 16 new pages of photos. That’s right. Not just 16 photos, but 16 PAGES of photos. Plan to spend at LEAST two hours browsing through all the wonderful images of the Comeauxs. You can visit faraway places like Nottoway Planation, Evangeline Downs Racetrack, and, of course, our own back yard patio. In fact, maybe most of the photos were taken around the dinner table, but you know how we are: eat, eat, eat.
