Hope everyone has a great Holiday weekend this year.  I am sharing some pictures I took this week from Pass Christian in Mississippi.  Located halfway between Slidell Louisiana and Biloxi Mississippi.  There aren't as many of these stately homes left after Katrina.  But the ones left are maintain...

For as long as my wife and i have been married (25 year, yea I have a hard time believing it also), she has always wanted a red kitchen.  Well after we moved last year I let her have her way.  Guess what she now has a red kitchen, oh yeah.
