I spent the summer of '06 living in New Orleans with my husband doing relief work through a church/relief organization in Kenner (a NOLA suburb) called Mercy Response. It was the high point of my life--I've never enjoyed myself more. New Orleans is my favorite city in America, and when Katrina hit in '05, I spent two days crying. We went down to volunteer for a week in January '05 gutting homes, but it wasn't long enough for me! So we quit our jobs in May '06 and spent the next four months doing relief work and sleeping in other people's houses. What a trip! I love that city! and have spent the past year plotting to go back...
All of that to say that I missed NOLA dearly last fall when we returned to Ohio, and this drawing of the Ragin' Cajun and his Mississippi belle came out of my love and longing for the Big Easy.
