So I know we're a bit past Labor Day here, but Katrin and I spent it in New Orleans visiting my parents. I'm trying to catch up here, and house pictures are coming up next!

We drove around on Lake Ponchatrain with my dad, to escort Kate and her friend on a sailing trip.

The lighthouse needs some work. We had lunch at the yacht club, which is currently housed in a surprisingly nice prefabricated metal building. It's basically a triple-wide.

And we had snowballs, of course. One a day for the three days we were there. Maybe I'll add Hubig's pies to the list of things that must be consumed while in South Louisiana - but the list is already pretty long!

My parent's house is just about finished. The parts that have been rebuilt are shiny new and better than ever. Here's a panorama of the garden, with its new palm trees and snazzy layout.

If you scroll all the way around, you can see Jimmy and Patty's new house accross the street, which Dad designed for them.
