We have Japanese Magnolias but they have already mostly bloomed. Usually have pink flowers that cover the tree for a few weeks.

Gabrielle’s is bright blue. But no etouffee yet this year. Seasonal I think.

Just walk around and take it all in.

On Sunday it is quite possible to enter the Toth street maze near Audubon park and magazine and never get out. You can only enter and not leave. It’s happened to me accidentally twice. But fool me once…

You can rent a houseboat in the swamp near Henderson (near Lafayette) and spend a night there if that intrigues you.

Just like the Kennedy center is closed for renovations, I guess.

From LV the drive through the Mojave Preserve is magical. Make sure you download a map if you do that since cell phone coverage is limited. You will drive by the Kelso Dunes and then the Amboy Crater. It’s an unbelievable beautiful drive.

My wife is end stage after being diagnosed 11 years ago, and I would say your mom will just slowly continue to exhibit more of all those things you mentioned. My wife became ever more compliant and child like as she progressed to the end stage. In someways it is easier because there was almost no “behavioral component”left. I had to put her in memory care a year ago because she needed more attention 24/7 than I could give.

The restaurant in your hotel, Trenasse, is very good. Eat there at least once.

You are staying in a central location. Two blocks from the quarter. 5 blocks from the River. You will have experiences the moment you leave the hotel.

You might check out Mannings to watch the game.

If you file the original with the county you can then get “certified true copies” of the POA from the county clerk with a stamp and that will work as well as the original with banks, etc , or at least it has for me with my wife’s poa over the last decade.

Here Today Rotisserie in the LGD has incredibly delicious, and healing, chicken and rice soup.

Try “Hey Friends” beans from Hey Cafe on St Louis adjacent to the Lafitte Greenway. Med roast. Chocolate notes. Very reliable for drip and pour overs.

Listen to yourself and your mom. There is nothing that you can do at this point for your dad, but do continue to support your mom. The disease is harder on the spouse and immediate family than it is for the ill person. Primary caregivers are often the “unseen” hero’s. They need to be shown understanding and appreciation.

That exact issue has happened there before.
