My favorite thing about being in Louisiana is spending time in Granny's house. Every room is full of memories: the living room is where all the cousins slept on the floor together on Christmas eve, the recliner is where I sat and watched Cool Runnings over and over that one summer, the kitchen is where granny stirs gumbo and pop crafted fudge. It is a very good place.
Pete and I made a quick trip down to Lafayette to spend some quality time with granny before our big move. It's really nice to be in a community where you know someone everywhere you go.
It's also good to visit a state that makes beignets and makes them well. That way, when you are sad about leaving, you can make a last minute detour to the Coffee Depot and smother your sadness in powdered sugar.
