Swamp Tour

Our last day in the New Orleans area included a two and a half hour church service at this all black parish near our rv camp. What glorious music and wonderful message about our willingness to live God's will and not ours. We were almost late for our Swamp tour near Slidell and the Pearl River. The tour was two hours long in a small boat that took us through the bayou and sloughs. Along the way we saw some homes/water homes in the area. We didn't see any aligators or turtles even as the weather was too cold. However, we did see some bird life and strange plants not seen in our area. The moss was spectacular! We were chilled and hungry when it was over and only wanted to warm up and eat. Much to my surprise, just then another tradegy occurred. Something sharp scratched my hand and looking down to see what it might have been, I freaked out immediately as I realized I had lost three prongs and my large diamond in my wedding ring. Can anything more go wrong on this trip? I'm hoping not, but keep us in your prayers as we travel back to MN. We are leaving tomorrow morning and are planning to be home for sure by the weekend. It's just plan time to come home for various reasons. I'm so looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up on events at home.
