Quarter View Restaurant

My family and I just got back from New Orleans and Mississippi.  I thank God for family and friends who make life so sweet even in the midst of hardship.  I especially enjoyed this trip because of the good food and the good times.  I was rather nervous...

A Beautiful Sunset

I'm reading a book called "The Greatest Secret," and one of the premises in the book is that gratitude brings blessings. Everyday, I thank God for where He has placed me, for the friends and family he has given me, and for the grace that He has shown me. Today, we...

Gender Reveal Party

Hudson’s at Hilton Head Island

Lovin’ New Orleans

We always visit New Orleans during the holidays.  I love this city.  Many people think of partying when they think of New Orleans, but New Orleans has so much more to offer --- meeting wonderful people, eating delicious Cajun cuisine, shopping, art, and...

The Chimes Restaurant

You've probably heard me mention The Chimes Restaurant. This was a restaurant on Highland Road on LSU's campus. Me and a group of friends from law school would go here after a long week and enjoy the raw oysters on the half shell. They were so fresh, and the horse...

Anthony’s In the Catalinas

I decided to try a new restaurant, Anthony's In the Catalinas.  I read different reviews. I also saw that this was one of the top 5 restaurants rated by Tucson Living, so I knew it was worth a try.  A wonderful night does not describe our time at Anthony's....
