Fog at the Riverbank

Recent mornings have brought fog to the riverbank.

 Even at midmorning, low clouds wrapped 

the New Orleans Bar and Grill in a shroud.

Linking to Weekend in Black and White

God Bless America

The banner at New Orleans Bar & Grill reminds me

 of the patriotic song that I learned in kindergarten,

 and thank goodness it's not "offensive" in the rural South!

God Bless America

by Irving Berlin

God bless America,
Land that I love,
Stand beside her and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above;

From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam,
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.
God bless America,
My home, sweet home.

Sunset from New Orleans

Patrons of the New Orleans Bar & Grill in Selma not only get great Gulf seafood

 and local farm-raised catfish but a beautiful view of the Alabama River.

 We visited the restaurant this past weekend to celebrate our oldest son's

 25th birthday, and I see that the restaurant has added an outdoor bandstand.
