Sunday, 01JAN, we started off the New Year by taking down the
xmas decorations & tree. Followed by
the traditional Cajun new year day meal of black eye peas & cabbage. Wednesday, 04JAN, was Jaxson’s official b-day;
Uncle Joe came over & we all headed to Chuck E Cheese for dinner &
games (like last year). Then it was back
to the house for cupcakes & to open presents.
Saturday, 07JAN, was Jaxson “second” birthday with a party at local
gymnastics gym (like last year) for his friends.
Sunday, 15JAN, Rebecca & Dan took Jaxson & Mason to the New
Orleans zoo. Corrie was feeling ill
& stayed home. Note – up to this point
in the month everyone in house (except Rebecca) has been sick at different
times; even Dan who rarely gets sick.
While at the zoo we were able to buy some taffy from the locally famous
Roman Chewing Candy cart.
Tuesday, 17JAN, around lunch time we fired-up the RV & headed
to Dixie RV in Hammond, LA, to have our propane furnace looked at. During the last cold spell in Houma that
there was an intermittent loud squeal, like a bad bearing. That evening was an unusual & excellent
dinner at Jacmel Inn that Dan discovered on the internet. Wednesday morning we headed to Dixie RV to
have the propane furnace trouble-shot. After
running several hours, the noise cannot be recreated; so we drove back to
Rebecca & Raymond’s driveway.
Not much else happened during this, but we did go out for first
crawfish of the season. For most of the
meal grandson Mason played with (& talked to) the discarded crawfish
heads. It was highly amusing to watch
(& listen to)J!
