50 years, Ninoo & Papa, or, the day after Thanksgiving

First, we visited Old Hardhide after breakfasting in Ponchatoula, LA. The strawberry capital of the world. Quote from ... C13 ... very good question indeed.

"Why would Ninoo & Papa live in Hammond when Ponchatoula is the strawberry capital, has a chocolate factory, beignets, and a town alligator?"



That question is clearly unanswerable.

Anyway, Ninoo & Papa also celebrated their 50th anniversary in September, just like MeMe and Pep did. However, we weren't in Louisiana for that, so we didn't get to celebrate with them. We went to dinner, and TCR had ordered a wedding cake at Big A's suggestion. C13 and Q11 presented their gifts.

C13 drew her vision of one of Ninoo & Papa's wedding photos. I love it. We put it in a frame that WE got for our wedding from Alice and Jason, our old landlords, but had never used. And we brought it on down.

Q11 made 50 cookies, 10 of 5 sizes, and she numbered them 1-50, starting with the smallest -- no, actually starting with an engagement ring, then the smallest hearts, up trough 50 to the biggest heart.

And TCR & Big A got them a wedding cake:


We took photos, and everybody has red-eye. Oh well!
