Dinner and a Play

9:30 a.m.?  No, can’t be 9:30 a.m.!!! I never sleep till 9:30!  But then again, we don’t often stay up till 11:30 p.m. two nights in a row, for sure.

Thursday night we stayed up late to watch that horrible Bronco defeat to the Chargers.  Then last night we went to dinner and then to a play in Lafayette, so it was another 11:30 p.m. night for us….yes, I slept till 9:30 a.m. this morning.

We really like Shucks.  The food is amazing, and as it says in their website founded in 1995 SHUCKS! embodies the essence of authentic Cajun Cuisine.”

We laughed ourselves silly!!!!  So enjoyable.

Afterwards we met with one of the two lead actors, Shane Guilbeau….Betty knows his sister who got us front row seats.

We got home around 11 p.m. well fed, spirits lifted and well satisfied.  You can’t ask for more.

Remember, you are loved.
