I have a daughter born at home

in a farmhouse in Castroville Ca in '84

Castroville is The Artichoke Capitol of The World located near Monterey, Ca

 

NO pets.  Had horses, dogs/cats briefly while growing up.  Dog/cat when I lived in the country.

[Leanna]

Your daughter and I are very close in age. :) I was born in 87.

 

Do you have any pets?

[BAT]

Which do you like better, NOLA post or pre Katrina?

[Sazerac]

Hi Wiley.

 

Pre Katrina.  You knew the answer to that, Wiley.

 

The diaspora of FUNK because those neighbourhoods got washed away by the Levee failure

 

and the influx of rich white people has changed everything...it looks every day more and more like Suburban America or Disneyland   :(

[Devil Doll]

What is your favorite thing about NOLA? 

What other places have you lived?

[Sazerac]

my favourite thing about NOLA is the light and what is left of the funk.

I love that I can still hear a brass band on a random morning pass right outside my door. 

 

I grew up  in

Tennessee, Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts , upstate New York, New Hampshire, California, and Wicklow, Ireland for 8th grade.

(not Military...we don't exactly know what Daddy did)

 

As an adult, I have lived in 

California:  Venice (L.A),  San Francisco, Sonoma County and Monterey County 

 

Louisiana:  New Orleans  (Uptown, French Quarter, Marigny and Upper Ninth Ward) also a year near Morgan City  

 

UK:  Brockley in South London,  Aldeburgh (Suffolk)

 

and 1973-1976  traveled with First Husband in a 1961 VW Van crisscrossing the US 4? times

[Nicole Diver]

Did you like living in the French quarter? Did you see me there in '96?

[Sazerac]

I love New Orleans, Ava,

 

and as a matter of fact,

 

I DID see you in '96 .  Yes, I am Sure it was you.

 

Didn't you see how Wildly I waved  ?

 

But, you...you turned your head in a most sublime manner and gazed out towards the River 

 

and I walked slowly home.

 

 

 

 

edited to add.

 I loved living in the quiet parts of the French Quarter.

Stayed in an apartment once that was smack dab in the whirl and really LOUD from the street, that was difficult.

[Leanna]

Have you ever been out of the US? If so, where?

[Devil Doll]

I have been to England, Ireland, Portugal, Mexico, Canada, St Lucia, The Caymen Islands, Trinidad, Tobago, Mauritius

Skiing as a kid somewhere in Quebec and as an adult spent a few summers canoeing on extensive sojourns in The Quetico (Ontario).

Been to a great seedy dive bar in Thunder Bay.

 

The Quetico Provincial Park

[Leanna]

I have lived in Ontario my entire life and I have no idea where The Quetico is, haha. 

[Doreensfree]

I have a question......

Am I your only sister in smutt.....?

OK, I know that you are painting a lovely Sunflower at the moment, but what is your favourite piece that you painted, why, and do you still have it?

 

:D

[SanDar]

Wow lady, you have traveled. What was your favorite place to live?   

How about someplace you've never been - but would like to?

[bakon]

How big are your feet?

 

Do you admit to farting? (most women don't)

 

Explain the BOB  you refer to in more detail, what he does, how often and anything else..

 

When drinking do you become more fun? and how?

[ChRiSpY]

Have you ever exposed yourself for beads?

[Humbled]

I am seeing a whole new side of Saz and I musty admit I am even more impressed - very well versed and traveled-
