Plaquemines Parish - NY Times article

As the Mississippi River meanders south of New Orleans, it forms the backbone of Plaquemines Parish, a place beautiful in its starkness which will outlast us but will be gone someday.  A great article appeared recently in the NY Times which tells some of the story.  We have enjoyed some special times at the Woodland Plantation near West Pointe a la Hache.

A Special Thanksgiving - with Special Friends

With perfect weather and great friends (none of us are quite perfect :-), it was a very special Thanksgiving at the Woodland Plantation in West Pointe a La Hache, about 40 minutes south of New Orleans.  We shared many a story, hearty laughs, and outstanding food in Spirits Hall; there is so much for which to be thankful!
