We spent a delightful afternoon with cousins, Dick and his daughter Betty. We swapped family stories and learned more about Dick’s WW II service with the 20th Armored Division. He told tales of Steve’s dad as a young man and of New Year’s Eve parties at Steve’s grandparents house in the 1930’s. We learned a lot from both if them and they claim to have learned a little from us. And to make it even sweeter Betty fed us a most luscious lunch of homemade New Orleans specialties including muffalettas and crawfish pie accompanied by mint infused iced tea and followed with the most delectable petit fours!
