Another flea market weekend.

What was different about this weekend was we left Friday afternoon and stayed overnight in Hammond. Hubby had a set amount for a room, so we decided on Western Inn.
It was not a Best Western, haha.

When I checked in to see about a room, there was a sign on the counter that said We Do Not Rent to Locals. I thought about asking about the sign, but decided I didn't want to know.
It was an okay room. Let's just say we slept with our guns out of their holsters...

After I got the room, I asked about someplace nearby for crawfish. It is, after all, crawfish season. And while I should have taken more pictures, lets just say I was hungry and the crawfish were great! I would definitely recommend Chookies Seafood and Oyster Bar to anyone passing through Hammond, Louisiana!

That young man was playing saxophone when we got there, and was still playing when we left. Not exactly sure what he was playing, but he had sheet music in front of him. There was music inside the restaurant also, so you couldn't hear him unless the door opened.

When we headed to the flea market, we stopped by a donut shop called Mary Lee Donuts. The 'Hot Now' sign was lit. And yes, I should have taken more pictures...

The donuts were light and airy, not heavy like some. The best donuts I have had in a long time.

The flea markets we have been to before, but it is the second weekend of the month. V. Watts is an antique furniture store, so we stopped in Friday and saw some nice pieces. Was nice to go before the Saturday crowd!

And we also went to the Flea Market of Louisiana, as they bill themselves. Click on the pictures to see them larger. And yes, they let people sell trailers and all sorts of things there.

Crossing back over the Mississippi on the way home, this tug was pushing a bunch of loaded barges up-river.

And crawfish ponds, which in a few months will turn into rice fields again.

And sugarcane fields. They harvest the cane three years in a row before they have to plant again.

And now I need to stop playing around and do my ironing. I hope you all have a blessed week!
