Our 5th anniversary

Yesterday was our 5th anniversary. We exchanged gifts and then we went out to eat in New Orleans at Antoine's. http://www.antoines.com/ I had been wanting to go there for a long time, but James never have nice enough clothes with him when we were in town. The restaraunt has been around since 1840, and it was the first restaurant to serve Oysters Rockefeller, Crawfish Etouffee, and Shrimp Remoulade. The service was outstanding and the food was wonderful. The whole menu was ala carte, so you ordered your entree, salad, and side items separately. James had the rack of lamb and I had their filet minion. We shared an order of Pommes de terre soufflées (fried puffed potatoes) They were so good. We shared the Baked Alaska for dessert, which was a layered dish of ice cream, whipped cream, and cake.


I gave James a signed photo of Stan Musial - he played for the Cardnials in the 1940-60's. James is a Cardnial's fan. We've been to St. Louis twice for ballgames. He really was surprised about his present. I found the picture at an antique shop in Denham Springs, LA. We also bought a new buffet for our dining droom there. The traditional gift for 5th anniversary is wood, so that counts.




I had no idea what he had gotten for me. He surprised me with Adobe Photoshop elements. I had asked for it at Christmas, but our OS on our old computer was too dated to run it. I'm going to love it!
