Classy, not Sassy
Canary Yellow, chiffon, pleated A line dress with bell sleeves. White cotton tent dress. Soft, white form fitting cotton with big satin ribbons to go around or below the waistline. Homemade, simple cotton shift dresses with tiny flowers; material obtained from huge fabric stores. Simplicity, McCall or Vogue patterns were composed of hand drawn lengthy models, as did the newspaper ads for clothes, and they were eye catching.

Phthalo Blue and Zinc White. The scent of freshly opened oil paints with a hint of turpentine to make them behave like a good water color. Or, Ultramarine water color on a white cold pressed sheet. A good artist will choose the best tools for her outcome.

Lola was feeling a bit unsettled as she boarded the Air France direct flight to Paris to visit her grand daughter. A note was left by her late husband, and it had something to do with this trip, but what?

My foodie heart comes from the city where I was born, raised and lived for over fifty years. In New Orleans, it is always about the restaurants. My parents and my maternal grandmother Memére most enjoyed the seafood places that diced Lake Pontchartrain. These were popular, unique, crowded on Friday nights, and all independently run. But Lenfant’s was my most favorite, close to our home in Lakeview, an upper middle class New Orleans neighborhood that changed drastically post Hurricane Katrina. There were starched white table cloths in the old pink building at Lenfant’s, and it was located next to a noisy railroad track. Demolished completely in later years, my visual memory still holds a clear, unforgettable picture of us sitting and enjoying the best ever seafood.
