We took a few days off - a road trip to Natchitoches, Louisiana, where they are gearing up for their 300th anniversary. It was a trip back in time. Our close friends moved away a couple of years ago, so this was our first trip back since their move. Things haven't changed much, but it was still nice to re-visit a beautiful town and countryside where history abounds.
What once was the gas pumps at P. Phano Prudhomme General Store ~ now closed!
Shuttered and Barred at the Roque House on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches, Louisiana
All that remains after the fire that destroyed the Levy-East House Bed and Breakfast....the carriage house. Thankfully it wasn't damaged and remains on the property as a remembrance of what once was and what might have been.
I could not resist making my May desktop calendar using this picture I took of the ancient live oak tree with limbs so long and heavy, they bent to the ground.
We were going to Melrose Plantation and stopped at this church for a picture and a prayer.

What a beauty it is.

A place to sit a spell on the Queen Anne Bed and Breakfast front porch. And we did!
