Things to do

Image
Sunny afternoon in our corner of Florida Florida has unpredictable weather. It can be sunny and rainy and back in just 30 minutes. This afternoon, I plan to sort my clothes, add Stevia sweetener to my d-i-y mocha creamer mix, comb my hair (haha) and maybe grab a snack.

Wasting time

Hilton Riverside Gumbo

Gumbo at the Hilton Riverside (NOLA) Gumbo, quiche, chicken kiev, asparagus salad and vegetable lasagna were some of the dishes we had at the Hilton Riverside in New Orleans while we attended the annual Myositis patient conference. The conference included some breakfasts and lunches. I looked forward to breakfast. The coffee was delicious and I like to have cold orange juice first thing. For the lunches, they served desserts - apple pie and tiramisu. Some attendees requested the gluten-free menu and were served fish and fresh fruit. There were cut fruit sold at the 2nd floor lobby cafe but they were gone before I had time to buy one. I missed eating fresh fruit on this trip but was glad there were some raspberries in our yogurt in one of the breakfasts.

Golden literider ptc 162 model in red. I have a powerchair! Yay! The first picture is the salesman adjusting the metal plate to go up a notch for me. A powerchair was on top of my to-buy list while in Florida. We headed straight to the medical supplies store our first week in. I love my red chariot! Weeee!

Went to New Orleans in Louisiana. Had our first meal of a catfish po-boy and crab cake sliders at Drago's inside the Hilton Riverside Hotel. They were not yummy, sad to say.
