I enjoy the ravioli and spaghetti at IMOs. I'm probably one of the few who don't like their pizzas. As for the new Buoys place, let me tell you that it will be a favorite of mine now.

Gumbo as authentic as any I've tasted in New Orleans. Catfish was excellent. My son said the shrimp was really good.

I wish my kids were little again. So proud of both of them but I miss them. They both have careers now but always find time to come by at least once a week for dinner or just to shoot the bull. Both have done well. Both got scholarships to good schools, one for sports and one academics.

Enjoy every minute soccer. My house is too quiet now.
