It's Time!

It's time to get back to work...........to start blogging again, to start creating layouts and putting together ideas and techniques!

Happy Monday everyone.......may everyone have a productive day!

Regular Schedule

Wow......after all the unpacking and settling into a new city, state, home, schools and work; I can now say I/my family and I are ready to get back into our regular schedule of things. 

We now have been in Maurice, La for a month and half and have enjoyed so many events and sites that Louisiana has to offer.

Last weekend we enjoyed a trip to Avery Island where we toured the Tabasco Factory and the Jungle Gardens. 

My family in front of the Tabasco Country Store.

Where the grounded peppers are stored for 3 years before it is mixed with vinegar and bottled.

Mini sample bottles where given to those that toured the factory.

Jungle Gardens in Avery Island has some of the most beautiful views of nature.  Take a look for yourself.......I've downloaded a few of my favorite pictures of our outting.
