Hi!
We just got back from a bus tour of the structures that control the flow of the Mississippi, Red and Atchafalaya Rivers. It was very interesting. I knew a lot of the history and function already as my Dad worked for the Corps of Engineers and helped to build (and rebuild) these structures which control how much water from the Mississippi is allowed to flow into the other rivers. If they had not been built, the Mississippi would have drastically changed course by now, as it did from the beginning of time. The ancient peoples simply moved with it, which is no longer feasible in our day and age. The tour ended with a delicious lunch at The Rock House, a recently renovated bar and music venue where the famous blues guitarist, Buddy Guy, got his start.
Once we got home, we face-timed with Madison, who turned 9 today. She’s really enjoying her birthday Times passes too quickly!
I got chilled on our trip and am bundled in a lap quilt. I feel a nap is in my future. Later, Gator!
