5th anniversary of Katrina

today is 5th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina that hit New Orleans on August 29, 2005 as category 5 storm. Katrina was powerful hurricane ever to hit New Orleans. Katrina had claimed over 1,000 people as it hit gulf outer banks. It took people of New Orleans to rebuild everything like leeves and building that was damaged after Katrina hit. The French Quarter area of New Orleans were barely hit hard by Katrina, but just little damage but not huge like the rest of New Orleans have.

I was just there 3 months ago visiting New Orleans and French Quarter is my favorite area of the city.

got home from Minnesota

I got home from Minnesota 2 hours ago.
IT was fun week, I went on ATV trip with Aunt Carol and her friends. It was fun. I got to go fishing that I didn't go last year. I got to go to Grand Rapids, MN during my stay, I really like the town there. Hopefully next year I will have enought money so I can buy something little expensive. I hope that I can go to other stores in Grand Rapids next year.
I got to go to Mackinaw City earlier today it was nice day to go to Mackinac mall. It is one of my favorite mall beside the mall in Grand Rapids. I got few books from the bookstore that I like from the mall.
I hope that I can go back next year. Hope I will start to learn how to drive the ATV who knows.

Perparing for Minnesota trip

I am packing and recheck my suitcase to see what I miss and etc... I got everything together. I am leaving next day for Minnesota and I won't be back in a week and half..
I hope I will have fun up there, I always enjoyed the vacation there. That I have gone almost every year in the summer time. It is one of my favorite places to go. I am glad that I got the chance to go this year. Pappy will be having fun with Lulu.

house is cleaned

we had the house cleaned and I get the chance to clean my room a little bit and put my "Minnesota" clothes packed up so I don't have to worry about put the clothes back in the dresser. I thought why not to pack since I am leaving again, I will double check the suitcase before we leave to make sure I don't miss and miscount the number of the clothes I am going to wear everyday. I will wait until karin leave.
While she is here I hope to go shopping, hopefully I would go to Michaels to get things so I can take them to Northern Minnesota with me. I hope I can get the chance to do that.

August is here

I can't believe that August is here now since that I have been home for few days.
tomorrow will have the whole house carpet clean. Mom's friend Karin is coming this coming up weekend, the first weekend of August. I can't wait to see her haven't seen her since grandma's funeral. I am glad that she get the chance to come and spend time with mom.
Soon after she leaves we leave again for Northern Minnesota next weekend, the 2nd weekend of August. I can't wait to go there and relax.
