Windows Wednesday

It's been a while since I've done a Windows Wednesday post. The reasons for missing my weekly post range from Hurricane Isaac, hospitalization, sick/dying cat, no electricity for a week, sick dog, etc.

But I'm back and have windows to show!

This was taken from the parking garage at the Westin Hotel at the foot of Canal Street

Taken from the same spot, a nice shot of the edge of the French Quarter

Windows Wednesday (on Friday)

Being retired means not knowing what day of the week it is sometimes. That's what happened to me this week,but I DID remember to post my Windows Wednesday in the same week!

This picture has a myriad of windows, both old and new architectural styles. Featured on 610 Poydras Street is Bistreaux at the Bank, a creole inspired restaurant in an old Whitney Bank, with all of the over the top marble columns and floors.

Here are a few pictures my daughter - The Tiny Chef - shot. She works here part-time on weekends.

I wanted a flag-related Windows Wednesday since it's so close to the 4th of July.

This gorgeous home is located on the coast of Bay St. Louis, Mississippi.

The three flags represent the State of Louisiana, The US and the State of Mississippi.

Have a safe and happy 4th, y'all!

Windows Wednesday

I have been lost lately, not knowing the day of the week and have been missing my Windows Wednesday posts.

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things
now that I'm working part-time for a local florist. I LOVE the job, but am physically worn out by the time I get home. So, this post is cleaning up my WW backlog.

Hopefully, I'll make it on time this coming week.

For October 16th.

This window was shot on Lee Lane in Covington, Louisiana.. If you like antiquing, this is the place for you.

For October 23rd

My precious Beignet relaxing in front of a window at our old house. About a month after we moved into our present house, Beignet vanished. We think it was coyotes or some other creature living in the forest behind our house.

Happy end of October!

Windows Wednesday (Belated)

I succumbed to the sunny weather and spent most of last week planting in the yard. I didn't realize until today that I neglected to post a "Windows Wednesday" for last week (May 8th). Here it is



Description not required.

Belated Windows Wednesday

It's been a heck of a two weeks for me. I have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and have had a lot of episodes in the last two weeks, thus the reason for no Windows Wednesday. I purchased the book Beat Your A-Fib and will learn how to keep things in control. This is NOT fun stuff.

But I digress.

Here is a shot of the stained glass window at Slidell's Old Towne Soda Shop, which recently reopened after being flooded by Katrina

Windows Wednesday

I had a hard time accessing Blogger on my laptop yesterday. So today I got on my desktop and no problems!

I wanted to post a 9/11 picture, but decided not to today. Today I've traveled back over 7 years to New Orleans East.
Heavily decimated by Katrina, the East was slow to come back- and still looks sad in some areas. Here's an apartment complex being built. Today all of those windows hopefully have tentants that use these windows to bring sunshine into their homes. God Bless the East.

The windows of the Whitney Wyndham Hotel on Poydras Street in New Orleans against the backdrop of another era of windows.

This is one of the stained glass windows hanging in St. Genevieve Church in Bayou Liberty
According to an elderly parishioner, these particular windows hung in one of the original St. Genevieve Churches circa 1852. This lady remembers going to church not via horse or car, but by paddling up Bayou Liberty

Happy Wednesday!

Taken from Woldenberg Park while we played at the Oyster Festival

I love how the windows reflect that beautiful sky. And my choice for the best food of the Fest was Borgne with their perfectly fried oysters and tasty catfish sliders.

Windows Wednesday

I don't know how old these windows are, but I bet they can tell stories about Olde Towne Slidell, where they were taken.

Unfortunately, there are too many older homes in this area that are slowly crumbling away, taking perhaps a glimpse in to the past with them.

Windows Wednesday

Taken in 2008 along Highway 90 in "the East", this abandoned boat survived Katrina but lost most of her windows. If she could talk, I'm sure she would keep us enthralled for hours with her tales of the past.

Windows Wednesday

Sad, broken windows near the French Quarter. What stories they must hold!

Windows Wednesday

The stairs along the riverfront are reflected in the windows of the tug J.K. McLean a "Z-class" tugboat.

The workers on the boat were lucky to be able to attend the 2013 New Orleans Oyster Festival along the Mississippi earlier this year.

Windows Wednesday

Taken from the parking garage at One Canal Place, these windows are from another era. I would love to know their history.

The windows of the beautiful Rice Building on North Peters.

A myriad of windows in the Jax Brewery along the Mississippi River.

Windows at Jazz Fest 2008. Makes me hungry!!

Windows Wednesday

Somewhere near the Quarter, taken in late 2011. I love how these two windows aren't aligned with each other. Much like New Orleans versus the rest of the country. To be beautiful and unique is the way to go! Stay cool!
