Can’t wait to get on the road!!
I love visiting Louisiana, especially New Orleans.
What is the best state to go in for the summer to beat the heat for a car dweller?
Does it get lonely seeing all those beautiful places by yourself? Does traveling get old after awhile? Linda you’re doing an amazing job, I’m just curious about how I could do it before longing for a home base kicks in
Beautiful place, blessings in your travels.
Probably one of the best videos!
Hi from Florida
My nephew went to college there. I was only there for his graduation. Cute town.
This is where the movie Steel Magnolias was filmed.
Lasyone’s Meat Pie Restaurant. So good and great breakfasts, too.
You should see Natchitoches at Christmas. It is amazing. Fireworks by the river with decorations along the river. Big Christmas festival.
My RAV4 Toyota is rigged up to sleep in, and I have a nice tent. Love to camp. I can’t wait until I can get back out after a vaccine is out for the virus. Where do you park at night? I’m looking for suggestions.
You should see it during the Christmas season. It has been written up in several national magazines. You can’t imagine how beautiful it is with all the lights. The movie STEEL MAGNOLIA WITH DOLLY PARTON and SALLY FIELDS WAS FILMED HERE. THERE WERE OTHER YOU WOULD RECOGNIZE. If you have not seen it you need to. I am a transplant from Arkansas to Louisiana by way of the military and other adventures as a nurse. Glad you made it here. Thanks for sharingLinda.
Stunning!!!
Wow, what a beautiful town. thanks for sharing with us Linda. Safe travels and Blessings in your day…………………………
Do a splurge!!!
I am binge watching your videos to prepare. At 14 years sober, I "settled" into a senior apartment. I could see my future–sitting in a small place that hardly gets any sun–until I am too old to drive😳. My lease is up next spring…leaving Ca and getting in touch with my gypsy DNA!
So much to see! I would love to visit that town!
Thank you, Linda!
Hi Linda,gorgeous flowers Each spring I want to plant more bulbs in fall Thank you for taking me along 💗
A very beautiful unique LA city!!
I enjoyed your video of the rabbits reminded me of the year I made and sewed stuffed rabbits…it was so much fun .stay safe..
Oh the Natchez Trace to Tupelo. It’s a maybe.?Pretty cool.
It’s beautiful there! I was born in Louisiana, but I don’t think I’ve ever been to Natchitoches. It’s on my bucket list now because of you, so thank you.
What a lovely place to spend some time and reflect on God’s incredible handiwork. Thanks for the video!
Been watching your videos often on trying to catch up on things with you I am the same age as you would you mind updating me on what kind of vehicle you got and what kind of deal you got on a beer etc. and what job you have been doing in the past month you said you were working 50 hours a week and one video that would be great if he could give me any input like that thank you
🌼 Beautiful!!! Did you get a meat pie?
Stay safe!
What a pretty place to see. God Bless.
what is the camera that you use. You do a great job for creating interesting videos
What a gorgeous little town. Purple tulips are my favourite.🌷
I’ve missed a few videos but when I saw you had been in Louisiana, I could have cried. Hope you found a Natchitoches meat pie. It’s so beautiful in Natchitoches when they have fireworks over the Cane River.
I was probably one of the first ppl to want to meet you and just sit out and read the Bible. Doubt you remember because of so many comments. That seems like sooo long ago. I’m in Bossier City and it’s not as pretty as Natchitoches. Now, I’ll go catch up with some more videos. God bless you and safe travels. 🙏🙏❤️ (southetngal2139)
Binge watching and found this video. I live 45 minutes south of Natchitoches. My girlfriends and I meet there for lunch sometimes. Its a beautiful little town to wander around. You should see the Christmas lights festival! Very crowded though.
Nice little town,beautiful flowers!!! Staysafe!!!
Just beautiful, Linda! I was in Alexandria last year, wish I’d known about Natchitoches then! 😊
Wow I got to go there! I’m looking for a small town to spend the rest of my life in!
How do you sleep in the heat
Yes, Beautiful town. We moved to Tyler, TX 1994. Our friends told us the best way to get a flavor of the South, was to visit Nak-I-dish. Woe meat pies, Christmas on the Cane river. Yes Steel Magnolias movie made there. Many antebellum homes there, hush puppies, alligator, Cane river is actually a 35 mile long lake. We fell in love…..♥️
You were 45 min from where I live! I love Nachitoches! I graduated from NSU. Did you go to the old Mercantile? 2nd St is where Lasyones is, the home of the Meat Pie. Glad you enjoyed the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase!
Really appreciate you showcasing places in my beloved Louisiana. Thanks so much.
Steel Magnolias was filmed here! I’ve been there a few times.. Really need to go during December! City is beautiful and really lit up with Christmas lights and awesome fireworks on river!!
Hi Louisiana native here. Hope you enjoyed.
The movie Steel Magnolias was shot in Natchitoches. They used to offer tours of the main house in the movie. It is right down the street from where you were. Dolly Parton had a quaint little shop on Front Street where you were. The meat pies are to die for. 👍🏼
When you live in your car, you are not homeless. You have a home., it is your car.
Love this place and the flowers !!!! Definitely a spring visit as July is 95 degrees. Thanks for sharing. Still want a “meat Pie” and is definitely on my bucket list. 👍💐🌷
That was so pretty..those flowers so beautiful.❤
Beautiful video Linda, thank you for all your efforts and hard work to share all of this beauty with us!
Poverty Point. The mound builders. Nacodoches and Nachotoches were two Indian brothers that could not get along. The father, the head of the tribe sent them so many moons in opposite directions. That is how those to towns began as settlements. Nacogdoches, Tex is generally regarded as the oldest town in Tx. Both towns have universities.
You haven’t mentioned how wearing a mask while in a public place has been for you? And, you haven’t mentioned closure of facilities throughout the country since March 2020. I’m interested. And, that beautiful iron work….wonder if any of it is historic? The park was probably put in as a federal Corp of Engineers project to prevent the town from flooding. And, just to show you I’m actually watching intently, this is dated July 9, 2020…my West Virginia tulips and daffodils had finished two- three months earlier. Were you really in Louisiana in July? Can you reply with your observations about travel during COVID?
Great views of the Tulips,,love them,,so glad to see your doing ok..be careful and stay safe..God bless you
Lovely sharp videos Linda: your iPhone is doing a superb job, and so are you.
I can’t keep up with you! I thought you were in Washington state doing a work camp job.
