We have returned from our trip, a bit road weary, but nonetheless filled with memories of time spent with friends and family. This post will focus on the beautiful Plantation Homes of Louisiana. I was recently thinking about the blessed French and their great tradition of taking a month-long holiday in August. Although my son's school will start next Monday here in Phoenix, I thought this blog could serve as a literary traveling holiday for the next few weeks. Plantation Homes Last ... View the Post
