Our problem posting is (at least temporarily) solved.  Our daughter, Nancy, is considerably more skilled on the computer than we are.  She downloaded Firefox and that seems to be working fine.

Later in the day in Fort Worth, we went to dinner at the family's favorite restaurant, Joe T. Garcia's.  We were joined by by Pat Buckley, Betty (Lynn) Buckley, and her personal secretary.  Betty Lynn still goes on singing tours, and teaches voice.  Meanwhile, the weather was getting worse.  When we headed for the car the wind was blowing 55-60 mph.  Marble sized hail started coming down.  My cousin's car got a few direct hits.  TV showed a local picture of a hail ball and a baseball - guess which was bigger.  That evening killer tornadoes hit Oklahoma very close to the route we had driven the day before.  

The next day we headed for the New Orleans area.  Our motel was actually in Houma, about 50 miles from New Orleans.  We drove through Cajon country - the lowlands where the Mississippi flood water was released to save NO.  We saw very little flooding though.  The highways were high and dry, and there are trees lining the road.  We had to shorten our Louisiana stay as I was informed Kaylie's graduation was Friday night instead of Saturday.

We drove to NO in the morning and headed for the French quarter.  That is a place to behold.  We hadn't been there for 45 years.  We had a late breakfast at Brennan's:  starting with milk punch; chicory coffee; eggs benedict; topped off with bananas foster.  We strolled to the levy area and purchased a couple of pounds of the chicory coffee, and several boxes of French Quarter doughnut mix.  Y'all will probably get to taste those items when we get home.  We then drove out to Tulane University, so Letty could revisit her undergraduate days.

To make up for the lost day, we had to leave NO for Mobile, AL, mid-afternoon. Behind us, the skies started to darken.  Then the radio announced a tornado warning for eastern Louisiana and western Mississippi.  We were out of its reach once again.  Two of our granddaughters go to school at the University of Mobile - we drove the campus.  It is a beautiful school in a rural setting, with a huge campus.  The traffic was ugly, and we didn't have time to detour to Tuscaloosa.  We may be able to go back down there to leave off all the personal items we brought for tornado victims.

Graduation for Kaylie was at 6pm last night.  We arrived at 3:30, so we had time to change clothes before heading out.  There were 8 graduates, so it was a relaxed, personal graduation.  Kaylie's other grandparents from Lubbock, Texas, are here also.  Tonight is the graduation dinner and party at a lovely home (up the hill).

We will be around here for a week before we head to our time share at Hilton Head.  Kaylie and our daughter, Nancy, will go with us - as their graduation presents.  Meanwhile, we will drive up to Sewanee, TN, on Monday to see a classmate of Letty's.  We have put about 3000 miles on the car - lots of driving!
We sense your prayers and the Lord's presence with us.
